Data recovery
Need some help, PC boffins.
I used a recovery program on my PC a good while ago to get back deleted uni work. Now I need to try and recover documents from the mrs' grandad's laptop, mostly legal and financial stuff as he went mental with a UTI and deleted a load of stuff lol. However, I was thinking that installing the recovery prog to his laptop will maybe overwrite what we're trying to recover, so is there a way to install the recovery prog to my machine and run it on his drives? Also, any recommendations on which prog to use? Been that long I cant remember what I used. Advice much appreciated. Cheers! |
I can't remember the tech terms but surely you can plug his drives in your machine as slaves and run the software from your machine that way? I did it many moons ago and it worked sort of I think.

I'd use something like this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/compon...28753-pdt.html
(You'd need to check his drive would fit tho) with this https://www.piriform.com/recuva |
You can plug his hard drive to your of and use it as a slave drive. Varies from drive to drive, but there's a good tutorial on youtube.

most programs designed to recover data will run in standalone mode where it can run from a USB stick or somesuch, so nothing needs to be written to the disk you're recovering from. :)
|
You're all correct pretty much. Data is my actually deleted straight away, the portion of disk is just marked to be used again.
I would slave it to another computer personally as a preventative measure. |
I know I'm correct. I've been working in IT for ... A little while ;)

What you need? |
I don't know much about it but there is maybe software through which you can recover the deleted data.

Dude bumps 5 year old thread, to say he doesn't know anything.

There is no point, I was merely looking at the funny. Other than that I'm good, I have 4 separate hard drives backing up about 2.5 Tb. Data recovery is irrelevant in my house.
