tianchaoyue Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Is there some software I can buy to recover it?Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 The data was written on a CDRW, right? And then, you accidently erased it? Is this right?If so, no, I dont think is possible. If it was on HDD, maybe installing Previous Version software would do the trick, but I dont think its possible to recover data that was erased from a CD.But someone else can give you a more precise answer.

tianchaoyue Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Yes, it was a rewritable CD. And I was so stupid to delete my data for this semester's work. Now I am right where I was two months ago. But thank you anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperHacker Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Have you written to the CD since then? If not, try making an image of it. Like with all filesystems, when you tell a computer to delete a file, all it really does is mark the file's header to say 'this file is deleted, ignore it and write over it if you need the space'. This means the file's contents may still be there. I'm not too sure how CDFS works (especially since CDs were never intended to be rewriteable), but it's worth a shot.

tianchaoyue Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hey man,Thanks a lot for your reply. What you said was very technical for me and I don't have the software to make a image. If you have time, could you give me a little more detail? Otherwise I will just re-collect the data.Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapse Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 never had to recover files off a CD... but my guess would be to run this tool: RiteRecovery i installed and ran it, looks like it can recover from CD's.. I don't have any CD-RW's to test it on though.hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
