Are there any good data recovery programs for Ubuntu?

Q. I'm able to see that my computer recognizes that the drive is plugged in, but Windows can't see it, nor can any data recovery programs for Vista, so Ubuntu is my only other option.

A. Ubuntu is not necessarily your only other option. There is also a Linux Live CD called Knoppix which is superficially similar to Kubuntu, but is nobable for the technical tools installed -- it was originally created by a computer consultant named Klaus Knopper for his own personal use as a desktop when working on client's computers.

I want to suggest you spend some money. Roughly $40 US. Barnes and Noble, the last time I went in there (anywhere) had Kyle Rankin's Knoppix hacks, which includes a copy of the CD in the back and is thorough about how to use the tools on it for things like doing backups. The oldest way would be using programs like Tar you can create an archive you can write to removable media (I once backed up two Gigabytes onto floppies). The reason I don't recommend doing some research into tools for Ubuntu is, unfortunately, that because it is for people who don't know much about computers, it doesn't have some basic tools which even moderately difficult programs like Fedora have. I don't use Ubuntu much and when I do I tend to install what I need on the fly using the command line and apt, so I can't tell you what it does have.

Kyle Rankin's book is really more useful than most of the software out there. I recommend it highly as a way to get what you want done.

You can get Knoppix without buying it, and get more information at:

What is the best file recovery program for my computer?
Q. Hello.

I deleted a lot of stuff on my computer and external hard disk and I want a file recovery program that can get them back.

P.S:

I tried Recover My Files and Recuva but I didn't like them because all the files were damaged when I restored them. Then I tried EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional 4.3.6 and it was good but only restored half of what I wanted

A. You can try to recover your pictures with asoftech Recovery software:

It uses unique modern algorithms to recover files that other software either recovers incorrectly or is unable to detect.

The files in my computer were hidden by a virus? Data recovery tools?
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/
