google around for data recovery programs, when shit is deleted it is usually always recoverable.


I never have any luck with them so I don't know any good ones.....but good luck to you

Go with Norton and Ad-aware dude!

I use Norton and ZoneLabs. I have some software recovery programs, but they yielded no results.

wait really!?!?!?!? Not to thread jack this lame bitch but... 3 days ago i deleted about 30 gigs of mp3s, my entire collection. It was a freak accident, something to do with me being a dumbass. Anyway do you think it is possible to get them back?

Wow man! Well, they (recovery software companies) say you gotta stop using your computer. Because the hardrive will write over the deleted data space. That's why the software sometimes can't do anything. If you delete something and it was important enough to get it recovered, turn the power off and don't use that hardrive until you're ready to recover.

happend to me a few times, thank god i suck at it anyways.

yeah, there is a chance of it.


They say the only safe way to delete data so that it is unrecoverable (like if you want no one to see it) is to delete the file 30 times, then do that 30 times. They make programs to do that called eraser. there are different settings, like delete 8 times and do it 8 times over and over, and my buddy was still able to recover the data.


wow, that took longer than expected, but yeah, search around, you'd be surprised at what they can revive.

Ahh, no amount of re-deletion will really erase the data. I'm not sure how it works with NTFS, or linux partitions for that matter, but with the FAT system, it's like a book. You have your table of contents, and then the actual book. Except you never look at the pages, you just look at the table of contents. If you want to delete something, all you're really doing is removing the entry in the table of contents, whereas the actual data is still there. What file recovery programs do is cross-reference the table of contents against the actual contents, and anything that shouldn't be there but is there, is "recovered." Thus, if you really really REALLY wanted to get rid of something, you'd either have to get a program that actually removes the data on those sectors, or you can overwrite the data with something else.

Oh yeah, about the Cubase projects, never happened to me. I'm running Kerio Personal Firewall and Antivir, and I've never ever had any problems, plus my system is safe, or at least they tell me it is.

glad to hear it.........
