Critical data recovery CHALLENGE!!

#1 Post by chrisredz »

Hi everyone,

I am an IT Infrastructure Engineer who's just done a massive mistake. I have installed the OS (Windows 8.1) on a hard drive that has critical data

When I realized I used a free software to recover partitions, and I found the one I deleted.

But the scan of the hard drive was not finished (22%) when I decided to cancel it as I assumed the partition I wanted was already found and it was only looking for other partitions

So I cancelled it and I proceed to restore. For my surprise only a 3% of the data has been recovered and when running another partition recovery scan it just founds the partition i recovered with the 3% percent of the information

I have used Hirens boot CD and I have a full version of the "Active Partition Recovery Enterprise"

Could anyone please let me know if there is any possible way to recover this?

Any help will be so much appreciated

Thanks

Chris Redz
