Long story short, friend's little sister nukes friend's 40-50 gig losslessly compressed self ripped music collection because she's a bitch. what's the best way for partial recovery? He already shut down and is now sleeping away the pain.

Unleashing the fvckin fury comes later, recovery now. Any ideas? NTFS harddrive, btw.

Any sort of data recovery program you can find, along with 40-50gb of free space on a different drive.

Re-rip...

Lemme try to find out what program it was I used.... make sure not to turn it on again yet I erased about 40 GB worth a data... it can be a pain to get back because I know I had to do it file by file... it wouldnt let me just restore full directories... Ill try to find it.

 

[slycat]

just sleep away the pain coz to recover that much data will take half of your life away..

 

[Dulanic]

Think this might have been it....

Either way ANY program you choose.... make sure it runs off a floppy and you dont have to install it.... if you install anything it could overwrite some of the data.

or..put new large hd and use easyrecoverypro...or something like that, and recover to the new hdd. remember it will take
forever and even after recovery he will have LOTS and TONS of work to do to rename them...etc...and even after all that
there is no guarantee the files are kosher.

Check the recycling bin?

take the HD out of the computer, don't boot it up btw.

If he self ripped it, he probably has the CD's and it'd be quicker/easier to re-rip it, unfortunately. Otherwise, utilities may be able to get back most of it--if you aren't still using the drive to write ANY data.

I used a program a friend of mine let me borrow...believe it's called R-NTFS

Why would you backup rips of CD's you supposedly own?

So you don't have to rerip everything.

Complete guide to harddrive data recovery. Never done it myself. Guide.
But it looks informative, and I read it over just to be vaguely familiar with the process.

 

[MagicianBdotCom]

I used Restorer 2000 to fix my stuff, I think you can find it on cnet download but you have to buy it for it to recover more than a meg or something like that. It works great but you gotta have the equal amount of space on another partition or HD 'cause it places it on another partition. Also not full proof, I once did it after I downloaded some new stuff and it remixed all my mp3s into a jumble of different songs. It was funny Good luck

File Recovery

Remove hard drive, install as secondary in another functional machine. Install This software.

I've recovered files from physically bad hard drives and from formatted hard drives with this software, and it's free.
