Q. i had a virus so i had to reinstall windows 7 onto my lap top, i had a 7 page report that i forgot to get off here before doing so, is there anyway to get that back?? i really dont want to rewrite it :(
A. If you performed a full format (fdisk) or told the machine to wipe all the space.. it will be very difficult. Check with a reputable company like drive savers, i365, Kroll Ontrack.. or others.
You can usually (1) download software to do-it-yourself, and pay later if it works.
(2) get a free or cheap forensic exam of your hard disk.
(3) get CIA-level data recovery even from disks that were formatted and burned. ,, that one is expensive.
Just keep in mind the balance.. every time you use the computer - every moment it is on - reduces the chances that you will recover any old data. If you want to try recovery, do it now and fast. Or else just decide to let it go and re-type the paper.

The JPEG file format is a very popular format for images. JPEG is compatible with many programs and devices that use digital media, such as digital cameras. JPEG files, like any other file, are prone to becoming damaged and corrupted because of reasons such as a faulty memory and hard drive errors. In this case, you must repair the file header to restore the picture file. You can use various options to accomplish this task.
