Restore files deleted chkdsk

If you don't have backups, then you can try data recovery software. I also suggest you test the hard drive because it sounds like it may be failing.

The data is still on the hard drive but if you overwrite it, it will be extremely difficult or impossible to recover it. You need to make the determination of the value of your data and decide what to do. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. She is a technology blogger and Windows expert.

Quick scan is a faster scanning option. If the files are not recovered still, then you can use deep scan. Deep scan is a bit slower but results are better than a quick scan.

Especially the phone calls months later when they claim to have irreplaceable family pictures saved in the Windows directory or somewhere you wouldn't have thought to look. Should have copied off my pictures first before agreeing to repair disk! So if you have a SDcard similar that seems to be readable and windows thinks it needs a repair, grab what you can first.

Full disk backup before transferring anything. Store it on an external drive until all changes and configurations are complete then restore whatever individual files you need straight from the full disk image. Confirm everything is copacetic with client. Confirm everything is copacetic with client a second time before deleting full disk image. I figured I would get scolded for not imaging, etc haha.

I appreciate all the responses, guys! Why is it when someone asks for help with an issue most of the members here bash and tell them they did it wrong? Leave the guy alone he knows he screwed up or he wouldn't be here.
