How do I retrieve files from a lost partition?

I don't know why they still make that program. It has NEVER worked.  I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's probably all gone.\n\nYou can try a program like "Restorer 2000 Pro" but I doubt its going to work if you've already re-partitioned it.\n\nhttp://www.bitmart.net/

There are programs that will do this, but no program guarantees that all data will be rescued.  For more serious stuff there are companies that will seriously rescue a hard drive.  We're talking if you backed over the laptop with an SUV.  They charge by the hour so your data better be worth it.\n\nI too have lost a lot of data, but most of the stuff can be re-found on the net, and some of the documents I made were so small in size that I was able to retype them.  As far as rescuing porn, I've lost that too, but there's so much out there.  Besides, when was the last time you looked at all those files anyway, aside from a few favorites?

There is a software called Easy recovery that has tools for testing the mechanical and logical functions of any hard drive.  You need another hard drive if you are going to attemp any data recovery though.  Check the website.

just reformat everything.  the windows o/s you have should boot automatically from your CD-ROM.  there are free utilities from majorgeeks.com to retrieve your lost data, even if you've reformatted the drive(s).  good luck, you're NOT an idiot.  everyone has had their computer woes.  how'd your Vista go?

Right click on your recycle bin icon on your desktop. Then, click on "unerase wizard." That will bring up a box that asks you what you want to look for and you click on "recently deleted files." Then, you can click on the ones in the list that you want to restore to your computer (by right clicking most likely).\nGood luck!

Sounds like your hard drive is toast. Usually this kind of thing means there are bad sectors. I have heard there are some programs that can pull the undamaged data from the drive. Try searching Yahoo or Google. I am sure there are many sights in cyberworld with downloadable programs to recover lost data.

If they are not in recycle bin, then you need a special software. PC Inspector File recovery is a free software available through which you can retrieve lost data. But I don't know how it works, so you will have to find that out yourself.\nhttp://www.download.com/PC-Inspector-File-Recovery/3000-2248_4-10118664.html?tag=lst-0-1

probably if you are using xp professional, you can use system restore and you can recover your deleted files.

See if you can find a Recovery CD or the Actual Operating System CD. Use which ever one you have. \n\nIf you don't have the CD's then I guess you could use Windows System Restore.

If you emptied to recycling bin , then thats bad news. If you did not empty it, then just (right mouse) click on the recycling bin, and select the option to restore. It will restore it.\n\nIf you DID empty the recycling bin, then there are programs that might retrieve it for you.\n\nFor example, check out this site:\nhttp://www.pctools.com/file-recover/?ref=google_fr

You can try using programs that allow you to recover deleted files.  Go do www.download.com and do a search for "undelete" or "recover deleted files" and try that.  Be sure to check the license to be "free" or you might end up installing crap.  Otherwise try "eData Unerase Personal 3.0" or "Disk Investigator 1.31" both available for free at download.com\n\nNO NO NO- DO NOT USE SYSTEM RESTORE!!!!!  SYSTEM RESTORE DOES NOT RESTORE DATA.  If you use it, there is a VERY high chance that you will write over the spaces on your drive that still contain the deleted information.  DO NOT DO THAT!!!!
