Files lost! Help

[One_Minute_Hero]

had one of our deputies having various issues with his laptop, as it was the old NMs laptop with loads of crap installed and god knows what tweaks i decided to reimage.

 

it seems his files havent been syncing and the server copies are from last summer! the hdd has a fresh OS on it now.

 

i have run get data back on it but in the csc folder there is nothing useful (d1-d8 folders).

 

Has anyone any ideas where to procede?

 

thanks

If you have reimaged it then I think you might be in a bit of trouble, my friend. Maybe a more in-depth retrieval program could get something back - always supposing that it has not been used since as this would mean things were over-written.

I have had some success with removing the hdd and hanging it off another machine as a extra and accessing it from there as if it was a storage device.

thats how its setup atm. HDD in a caddy on my machine. the machine was reimaged yday, he took it downstairs logged on eeek'ed at his files were gone and came back up. i immediatly removed the drive.

 

GDB has found some files but not others. currently running power data recovery (free) another 3 hours wait now

 

has anyone ideas about the CSC folder? i can see the rest of the file structure pre install just not that one. i know win does strange things with that folder anyway
