Hello,

Sometimes it is truly useful to try data recovery tools. Once I thought the data was gone completely it was able to restore. The one I prefer is EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard , it never failed me. If you wish, you can also try it out.

Hello and thanks for your reply (ALL OF YOU). You are 100% right! Since I have PGP Desktop 9.0 Home Edition, I've been looking into good old fasioned tape drive. Ever since I got into computers, I learned that tape is the tride-and-true media storage. Now they hold almost terabytes of data right? Well problem is that even on the low end a tape drive cost around $400. I supposed if I intend on using the driver over the next 10 or 20 years it is well worth the investment.

That combined with encryption would provide great storage and security. I'd only have to buy 2 tapes in 20 years LOL . Hopefully terabyte storage will be the norm for the average consumer.

So at first I though, "ok maybe if I buy the license it will work?" All it said was "!!!ADVANCE-Extra!!!" I purchased the low end version and I scanned it 5 times while typing this, it sucks. Cnet.com gave this app a good rating. Unless I am doing something wrong (which I doubt) it isn't worth the money.

Well let me try another product. I hope I can get my money back.

Hmm. Thank you sir. I am still testing out the program. It appeared to find all the files, but it wasn't able to recover filenams. There are two result tabs "files" and "raw." The files view doesn't show all but one file. The RAW view shows all the files.

Can you asist with this, or is resoluation in the full version of the software?

The data media is a flash media disk @ 125MB FAT16. Sorry, should have mentioned it at the beginning of the thread.

Again, thank you.

Sir,
Your file lost because you reformated it, so you should choose "FormatedRecovery", then file style you choose "FAT 16" .
Have a try~~
Hope it can help you~~

Hello, it took about two weeks and a paypal.com - dispute, but I finally got my money back from Active UNDELETE. I haven't tried the last products recommended, I'll get back to you guys.

Thank you for the software suggestions thus far....
