Default Recommend me a... File recovery programme.

So, what do you recommend?

My buddy who had the virus on his laptop, had the virus re-emerge recently (as I said it might), and rather than bring it to me so I could get it working once again, before backing up the files, and then giving it a fresh install, he decided to take it to the professionals. The professionals didn't back up all the files, so he has lost some important stuff.

I need a free, data/deleted files recovery programme, to try to retrieve the lost files.

What do you use or recommend?

Regards

PC Inspector File Recovery

Saved our asses when we were doing a big survey and a computer crash caused the loss of three days of our data (~£5k worth)

Used it a couple of times since at work and at home

I'll give PC Inspector a shot then. Will it run from a USB drive?

Don't think so, think it needs to be installed - you can run the installer from the drive though if it's internet access you're having issues with?

You can drag the program files across to USB afterwards and it works fine (got it on my pen drive as pasrt of a portable IT fixit kit - oh they joys of being a geek)
