File recovery software
by alsavs on Mon Oct 15, 2012 3:18 pm
Does anyone know of a good bit of software that can recover files from a formatted disk. A mate wanted to make a back up of a disk and not realizing it was a re-writable dvd ended up formatting it.

As far as I'm aware there is absolutely no way of recovering data off a formatted DVD + RW or DVD - RW.
Unlike hard drives, which leave a magnetic 'shadow' of previous files, even when formatted several times, When a DVD RW is formatted all data is erased. (also applies to smart cards, memory cards, pen drives etc)

Although having said that, this software claims it can recover these discs

Be very careful before parting with any beer vouchers though, as I have never heard of anyone having any success at recovering a rewriteable disc

I use Recover My Files for Flash recovery that does a good job. I can FTP you a fully licenced copy to try if you want?

Hi geeks that might be worth a try but the disk in question was formatted in a tv recorder i have just found out 
.
The software he is trying to recover was a recovery disk for a advent 5311 running vista premium which he now needs to get his laptop up and running.

I can have when I get home in the morning.
My Acer shipped with Vista originally although it's since been upgraded to 7.
The important bit is a legitimate key, the disc can be anybodys. Once you've installed Windows it should be possible to visit Advent's support die for all the proper drivers.
