Recover My Files Recovery Software Inquiries
Hello Guys!
Tried to recover my files from an old IDE hardisk using "Recover My Files" on XP. It identified all the deleted folders (family videos & pics) and files but when I tried to save, I was asked to buy.
I was very glad to see all the files & folders although I was only allowed to open some pictures. No mp3s and mp4s. It actually impressed me and am seriously considering getting one online @ USD 69.00. Sorts of an investment and a tool that can be of use for any need that might arise in the future.
But before I make the step, it might be good to ask for some advise from the community if somebody has something to share about the said software. perhaps a feedback or an experience. Or better still, is anybody aware of a Linux based alternative that I can also download for free?
Really appreciate it, thank you! nujinini

I'd recommend checking out TestDisk and PhotoRec for recovery of partitions and data. There is no cost for either and you can find both apps on the Parted Magic LiveCD:

Oops, sorry... I should also have posted the link to TestDisk and PhotoRec so that you can check them out on their website before you go to downloading Parted Magic if you wish:
