Panarchy Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 HelloLooking for a program to recover my data.My old partition schema entailed the following file-systems;NTFSExt3FAT32HFS+Although I didn't have anything of value on the ext3 partiton, so don't worry about finding a software that can recover ext3. Most important is NTFS. Seconded by HFS+.I've seen a whole spectrum of softwares, and tried a few of them.Winternals Disk CommanderMedia Tools 5.1 ProfessionalBut neither seem to be able to do exactly what I want. Biggest issue is that neither can write to NTFS.Also tried TestDisk,,, but can't seem to work out how to use it.Please help me recover my deleted partitions.Thanks in advance,PanarchyPS: If you were wondering how they got deleted, blame the new ubuntu installation.

Panarchy Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Oh yeah! Completely forgot about that one!Same people that made CCleaner, right?Thanks, I'll give it a go (and I'll tell you how it goes)PanarchyEDIT: After reading it's blurb, I noticed that it seemed to be a thing to recover file from current partitions (probably only NTFS, but maybe FAT32 as well).It doesn't seem to be able to recover from inadvertently deleted partitions.So please recommend some other programs.Thanks in advance,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
