Question

All,

I am using a Pendrive to transfer files from one system to another. I think I deleted some files from the Pendrive that I now need back. Also, there are chances that I might have overwritten the memory where the deleted data might have existed.

Is there any software to do something about that? I understand that logically whatever is overwritten in memory cannot to fetched back. But still I need to trust the advances in the technology.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

PhotoRec is great for recovering deleted images and other files. It's also GPL.

Answer 2

Superuser.com has a question about this. Hope it helps!

Answer 3

It isn't free, but I highly recommend R-Studio, I have used it on Flash Drives in the past with great success.

Answer 4

Recuva recovers files deleted from your Windows computer, Recycle Bin, digital camera card, or MP3 player.

Recuva is freeware.

Answer 5

Recuva crashed for me when i tried it so i'd rather recommend pc inspector file recovery which worked like a charm for me.

Answer 6

I've had good luck with ZAR. Free for images, inexpensive for its power otherwise.
