Good shit, got all my mp3s back as well :thumbs:

Yeehaw! Winner guys, cheers :)

You should be able to pick the stuff you want to recover by the look of it, so just choose the folders you want then copy and paste them where you want them

You can choose what you recover. If you didn't complete the format, there's a chance that some of it is still there anyway.

Nice one, cheers. I shall attempt that tonight.

Not sure I just did a quick format James. Think I did a full jobbie.

By the look of it it's recovering all of them I think, so can't complain :) 44% at the moment and that's 23gb, so looks like it's getting all of it. Yay!

One more thing, how does it work? Does the recovered data need to have another drive to be saved on, or will it literally "bring it back" on the same drive?

From what i remember (been a few years since i've used it), i think there is an enhanced scan and recovery option that when i used ended up recovering data that i delete 4 years previous - but it took almost a complete day on a 80GB drive :(

And Cavey - Try and recover as much as possible as the tracks would have been transcoded, with a lower bitrate and to AAC (so lower quality that what you started out with), when transfered to the iPod.

Took me a while to find a keygen, but all good now, is recovering my stuff :thumbs:

By the look of it, it should work fine for that brett, i'll u2u the link I got in a min

Should do. A standard (quick) format just removes the references to the files in the file table, rather than overwriting the bits on the drive with 0's, so it should still be easy enough to get back.

Would this work on a drive that has been partially formatted?

I accidentally started to format my 250GB external drive then realised at about 20% what I was doing and pulled the plug. It was literally full of stuff. Not actually touched it since, but do need stuff off it.

Yeah, kinda posted this to get the related links and found it through that :)

Downloading it now, had 60gb or so of music, it's all on my iPod, but would be a lot easier if i could just recover it instead of transferring it back across

Get Data Back :thumbs: Have used it a number of times and it usually recovers atleast 90% of the data, only issue is that it can takes a stupid amount of time. Last drive i did, 250GB, tooks nearly 15hrs :o

Know this was asked fairly recently, but still not prem, so can't search.

Lost my Music folder recently, rest of the drive is fine, but the Music folder is corrupt :(

What should I use to recover it? Tried "Free data and file recovery" from mininova, but it's shit.
