hi.
short version: my son's ex reformatted son's hard drive (got to love those lover's quarrels) anyway, i contacted Touch on the Bullguard forum (who had helped me 3 years ago) and he recommended convar's pc-inspector to "un-reformat" the hard drive. unfortunately it will not run because goof ex also installed Debian. I contacted Touch again to explain that previous info was incomplete so pc-inspector won't run. He pointed me to UBCD.
This product looks promising, but I do not quite know what to do next.
I downloaded the UBCD to thumb drive but thats where I stopped. I understand that every time We access the re-formatted hard drive we increase the possibility that the data will become irretrievable. So I thought posting here first would be best.
I'm trying to recover the data, primarily my thesis and my pictures. But am totally afraid of damaging it further.
Ideas?
