Question

Wanted to know if there was a program out there. I tried Recuva but I dont get all the songs and some are damaged or partial songs. Just need to get songs from my Zen back in pc , can someone help, thanx.

Answer 1

You can use data recovery software like OnTrack, but if you already tried Recuva, and you got some songs, then damaged/partial files, you'll probably have the same results. You can send your hard drive to a data recovery center, like DriveSavers, where they go to deeper measures to recover data, but it will cost you a couple hundred dollars.

Answer 2

You know, I've been working in the IT industry for most of my adult life, and I still can't find someone who can explain to me how you "accidentally" delete files. I can see blowing away one or two small files because you were in the wrong directory, but deleting all of your music files seems far more difficult.

Anyway, that being said, when you say "delete," I'm assuming Windows (since the Zune doesn't work on anything else). First, did you check in the Recycle Bin? You can recover them from there...that's what the recycle bin is designed for doing.

However, if you're already tried a utility and it says that files are missing and damaged, you may have already overwritten the sectors on the hard disk where they once lived, and the file tables have already been changed as well.

Unfortunately, this means they're gone.

Answer 3

did you delete them from the recycle bin. if did then sorry,

solution then:

re-buy them or download them. Again

Answer 4

unless u backed up ur server befor it happened even data recovery wont work bcuz the samething will happen that just did ur songs will be dameged srry

Answer 5

How do you "accidentally" delete all your songs? If Recuva is not working that means the files have been overwritten / corrupted.

There are two kinds of people: those who have experienced data loss, and those who will. Remember the 3 rules of computing. 1) Back up 2) Back up 3) Back up.
