Uh Oh! Big Hard Drive Problem

[rezinator]

I just Reinstalled windows on my pc. Unfortunatly for some reason my 250gb Hard drive lost all of its info. I MUST HAVE IT BACK it is super important. I was semi succesfull in getting it to work so far. I got a program that showed the files that were on the hard drive, but it was a demo of an expensive program. Does anyone know of a good freeware program to help me? I treid restoration but it didnt work, i am guessing a partition was created over the files.

Maybe testdisk will work, I've never used this program but it looks like it may do the trick.

Have you tried a Linux Live CD?

Restoration is very powerful program and it free. it can pick up a delete files that have up to 5 passes. So give it a try, it very simple and very powerful
