Way to recover files deleted by deleting, formating, anything!

[IsMaR]

ok so i installed linux on one of my partitions last week, so it ran for couple days and i was dual booting linux mandrake/windows xp pro, so after a while it seamed every time i am only windows which is primary, something goes wrong, and finaly i lost my internet connection due to it and shit, so last night i turned on my computer, and all i see is like million white 9 on black screen, i knew something is wrong so i pop my windows xp pro disk in it and reinstall it, which means all my data is gone right? wrong i can still recover! since my harddrive was split in 3 partitions, i instlled windows xp pro on 1, formated another on where linux used to be and left the one with my stuff in blank, BRE!, ok so i went to my computer in windows, and all i see is C drive, i am like wtf, so i go to computer managment>disk managment and what i see is all partitions but if they are on linux, meanin windows cant read linux(reason is because windows doenst like linux) so i search the web and find this great program called GetBackData for NTFS, most of you would use ntfs unless ur harddrive is smaller than 2gb, then you would use FAT, there is also GetBackData for FAT! so i went to this site http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm and downloaded it, got serial number for GetBackData for NTFS 2.25 on www.andr.net and snap i run this harddrive search and find files from god knows when that are either complete, partial, or just empty, so i might recover some stuff here, well let's see i am working on it! HOLLA!

So your telling me that if I use GetBackData, I am able to recover files that had been formatted from my hard drive a couple months ago?

[EatShytFukker]

It's takes anywhere from 4-6 formats to completely wipe out information.

[Ebcommin]

wow thats some good info thanx

[DizzyMakaveli]

So you can recover all the stuff you formatted?

[Derty Snap]

oh snap:-)

That sounds hot, but what I need to to completely wipe out stuff I hope I deleted from a while ago (if you catch my drift, lol)

[IsMaR]

^well whipper then u need System Mechanic Pro that uses military technology to erase stuff, they have this thing called INCILATOR or sumthing like that build in and when u send stuff to there and erase it, it completely is unrecovered, and there is this tool that u need a flopy, copy program to there, then you run that program and completely erases your harddrive and its not recoveredable, that is what military uses, so yeah i am about to start website all about stuff like this in couple weeks!

I'm not sure how the rest of you reformat your computers, but once I reformat mine, everything is completely gone, not a single trace of 1 single file, hence the original C: hard drive space goes back to 20GB (Yeah I know, it's an older computer, bought it 4 years ago), meaning no files are on it.

[IsMaR]

yeah but if you knew how that software works you wouldnt look stupid now!! and maybe u should reformat your computer, and try with that software and see if files are there without usin that System Mechanic tool!
