Q. A virus hid all of the files on my computer and I was wondering if there was a free data recovery tool I could use to get them back. Please walk me through step-by-step if so.
A. There are some free softwares available u can search them on google but I do not believe in free software as it will end up messing my computer with virus and spywares and whether it recovers your data intact or not is not guaranteed there are chances that u end up loosing your precious data. So I look for cheap and good software. For recovery software, I bought one before called asoftech, good thing is that it's one time payment and then it allows me to use forever. Take a look if you do not mind paying to get back your data, U can also download trial version from http://www.asoftech.com/adr/

how to recover data from encrypted partition after windows have been formatted?
Q. Hi, I am looking for means (data recovery tool or any other method) by which I can recover data from a hard disk which was encrypted using Safeguard Easy from Utimaco. The data is absolutely important to me. The OS (XP) was formatted and safeguard reinstalled. However the old partitions remain beyond capture. If you can please help me in this, I would remain ever grateful.
A. Without knowing specifically how Safeguard Easy actually encrypts data, I cannot give a definite answer, but here are some general insights I can give:
1. When the OS is reinstalled, it is usually possible to recover an old journal, FAT, or bitmap (depending on the filesystem.)
2. You will lose *all* data that was overwritten when the OS was reinstalled, unless you want to pay upwards of $100k to have the drive magnetically imaged. Even then it's highly unlikely anything more than fragments would be recovered.
3. If individual files were encrypted, it is a simple matter of recovering said files and decrypting them.
4. You're SOL if the encryption process involved anything more than an encryption key. If it is tied into a security token for the user account, or salted with anything that is non-persistant, it's gone.
5. If the entire (or most) of the drive itself was encrypted, not just file contents, you're SOL.
6. 3rd party encryption software is a bad idea in most cases. You are far better off using OS functionality to protect your data. BitLocker is a very good encryption system, especially on systems with a Trusted Platform Module (1.2 or later).
