Anyway to fix this?

[Ender]

My friend typed in DOS Deltree/y C:\*.* and deleted his C Drive or something, anyway to fix it?

 

[vash]

No.

He's a goner.

vash

 

[aUt0eXebat]

nope....... sorry

 

[Rendus]

Hah. Sucks to be him, but I wouldn't say there's no way of recovery. Norton Utilities used to be able to undelete.

 

[mrCide]

the question is does he deserve to have it fixed?

chances are he's going to have a hard time, though using some sort of undelete software may help for critical files.

 

[Ender]

Lol.. the funny thing is, a online person told him it would bring up a hacking software so he did it on his 49 gig filled up HD with MP3's and games and other crap.

 

[Beau]

Why the hell did he do that?

 

[Ender]

Cause he knows jack shyt about computers, that's why.

 

[Viper0329]

that sucks

 

[Squisher]

Wonder if he'll do it again?

 

[kranky]

I think it's kind of cruel to fool someone into wiping their disk, but once you said he thought it was going to activate "hacking software" I just laughed. If he's that gullible, it will be a good educational experience for him.

dude yer firend is a dumb a$$

 

[spanky]

fuggin ouch ... i think u can undelete stuff (with norton utils) ... but its a pain in the arse. after it undeletes, all ur data will be unorganized and un-named. i saw my boss go through the process after another co-worker accidentally ghosted a system before backing up the hard drive. there are companies that will do the undelete for u, but at a pretty penny! look in the back of pc world or pc magazine. i think i saw many ads there.

find a copy of ontrack easy recovery 5.0

it'll fix him right up... assuming he hasn't touched the hd since then.. if not he's a dumbass.
