Bob6831 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi.I made a mistake while using a new DVD write program and now have 2 large files on a DVD that I deleted accidentally.I see programs that recover data but they recover it to a different place.What I want is a free program (or trial program with full features) that will just re-establish the pointers (directory) to those 2 files on that DVD.Any help would be appreciated.ThxBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I dont understand the problem. You cannot erase files on a dvd unless you are using DVD+-RW or DVD-RAM, is this the case? What is the name of your 'new DVD write program'? When you say pointers do you mean a file or folder that was on the dvd, or a shortcut on your computer?

Bob6831 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 I used DeepBurner Pro to write 2 large files to the DVD. I then did a 2nd session and wrote a folder(with about 50 files) inside to the DVD. This 2nd session caused the first 2 files on the DVD to be deleted....... that is for my computer to no longer have access to them. I know they are still there based on how delete works, and did try 1 recovery program that was able to detect them.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ah, when doing another session on a multi session disk on some programs you need to specify 'continue session'. try the r-studio trial for data recovery:http://www.r-studio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob6831 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thx, but won't work. As per the info page: R-Studio and R-Studio Emergency DEMO 3.8 allow you to evaluate how all R-Studio family utilities recover lost files. The only limitation is that DEMO versions do not recover files larger than 64KB. My files are around 500M each.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 its less powerful but I should have suggested it before, Recuva (freeware)http://www.recuva.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob6831 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Do you know for sure this will work for DVDs? A lot of these programs only work for recovery from Re-cycle Bin deletes and from hard drives.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 hmm I used it in the past to recover files off of flash memory guess it does not support optical drives. Try CDCheck, fully functional trial for 30 days.http://www.kvipu.com/CDCheck/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
