How do I recover lost files from a corrupted portable hard drive?

Q. I purchased a Toshiba 1TB portable external hard drive for xmas and decided to back-up an old computer before I replaced the OS. While I was conducting said back up, the computer restarted for âsystem updateâ purposes and I attempted to abort, unsuccessfully. Once the computer restarted I was unable to access the hard drive and received an error message of either âunreadable or corrupted filesâ. I had a similar issue with my Sony Bloogie (HD cam) getting wiped clean in the X-ray machine at the airport and Iâve paid for recovery software (such as Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery) that didnât work. So I am weary of making any more purchases. Advice anyone?

A. Typically a third party data recovery program is what you need to try.

I see one program you paid for did not work, that is always possible with a data recovery program not all data can always be recovered.

When you have a drive that you want to recover data from it is important to not use it until you have a program ready to go.

There is many different programs to use and usually the more expensive programs can recover more. Its important to do allot of research and look for reviews on products before making a purchase.

You can try your best and if you can recover what you need your in luck. If the data your trying to access is very important there are data recovery specialist who would be best able to help you.

Anyone know a cheap Data Recovery in the Bay Area?
Q. I kinda broke my USB storage drive and the Best Buy person told me I could still get my data back, but it would be like $500 dollars at Best Buy. So he told me to look around for a cheaper place so i could save money. Any suggestions? My last resort would be to go back to Best Buy. Thanks for your help. :)

A. If best buy is providing you the physical drive reovery @$500 please grab it at the first go as I've heard of physical data recovery being the most expensive ones used Stellar Phoenix data recovery they cost me around $1500 for the recovery but the services were undoubtedly nice

I have an Asus Eee laptop and I accidently deleted the recovery partition?
Q. This has rendered the recovery disk useless, is there any way of obtaining Windows 7 basic so I can clean install it onto the computer and reinstall the eee components? I have a genuine Windows 7 key to use.

A. No worries for this problem its easy to recover it. I recommend you Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery software for any kind of partition & data recovery.
