I know this belongs in the chill room but I'd figured I'd get a better feedback here.
It finally happened. I was messing around with Partition Magic, trying to "add" a few GB to my MP3 partition, and while in the process of doing that I had a power outage. Needless to say, my MP3s became corrupted and inaccessible, but they are still residing on the drive. Should I,
[a] Forget the whole thing, format, and build the MP3 collection from scratch
[b] Try to recover the files using a recovery program
I already tried b, but this gay program I was using is a demo, and refuses to recover anything bigger than 64KB. If you've got a better suggestion, post it here.
Thanks for the feedback guys...
P.S. I had close to 800 MP3s, all 192kbps or above; totalling 10GB+ |

I don't know much about this but I'd definitely keep trying with B) first.
If you value your collection, you may even wanna buy the recovery tool, or be naughty and get a dodgy version.
10 Gb is alot, I'd hate to see you lose it all! |

| Why would someone make a demo program with such limitations? I'm not going to recover text files for God's sakes... UGHHHH |

Remember that any data on a harddrive will always be there, everytime you format you're just 'painting' a new layer over the old material on the harddrive if that sector is being written to again.
Try other undeleting programs or even try a Windows System Recovery (if you have WinME/XP) |
