Deleted Files Recovery

[GreyWing]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know of any software that will recover deleted data from a external hard drive that is on my home netwrok.

Downloaded a few programs but they never seem to be able to recognise the z: drive my external netowrk hard drive is on.

If anyone has had this before, I'd appreciate your knowledge on it.

Cheers
Graeme

Try Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

It is import NOT to write new data to the drive until you have recovered what you need, since you may overwrite the sectors where the "deleted" data is with new data, rendering it unrecoverable.

If you can't see it across the LAN, maybe connect it to your PC via a USB HDD cable/dock so it's a local device?

Good luck

Cheers admin,

Downloaded the software but wqouldn't let me connect the device. Although looks a great piece of kit.

I think your idea of the usb hdd cable is the best option, it has those abilities and outputs so will try that.

Cheers

I used undelete plus recently, with a laptop hdd in a mount and it worked.

Give it a go.

It's NTFS mate, it's one of these

I was storing my data on it as backups for some sites and basically deleted some, after a week or two I realised it was my only backups for a few sites and could do with them back.

It's not massively important but if not too difficult to get back then thought I'd give it a go.

I've used Search and Recover? - Data Recovery Software before and it has done the job when I deleted a load of emails. I think there is a trial version that may do the jpob or at least tell you if it can find them.

PS as admin says do not write anything to the drive until you have recovered what you want. If you haven't then should be fairly easy to recover.

Can you still connect to the drive via the ip address ?


Only way i would recover the data from this network drive would be dismantle it (take the hard drive out of its shell) and then connect it to a pc and then run some software to recover the data . This the only way well your safest bet

I have done hdd recovery for many years
