Thank you, thank you! Wow! Absolutely free and works!! I just used it this dawn to recover files on my HDD. 2 days prior I was transferring files between 2 external HDDs. I cut to paste for the move but had to leave for an appointment. I cancelled the move. Wrong choice. I got back and realised the files missing from OG and not on destination HDD either. This has been a godsend! I did a deep scan on the OG and retrieved everything. Thank you ❤
not working that great for me. i deleted the wrong folder. this DOES get the files back, as a .jpg and .mov. but now windows will not play or show anything. i get a "file type unsupported or corrupt" message. ive tried twice now, a quick scan and deep scan. both give the same results. i JUST deleted the folder yesterday and dont see why anything would be corrupted
Didn't recover anything, files just disappeared entirely. I think my laptop somehow shortwired - I was copying Disk A to Disk B and at the same time try to copy Disk C to Disk A. Disk C got destroyed in the process and nothing remains there.
Thank you for the video. I tried using 3 other free trial recovery tool and they all recovered none of the files. This ran for a long time but recovered all my missing files that I accidentally deleted.
@@Britec09 hi, is it normal for WinFrGui to run for days and is it normal for the drive to not be accessible while the recovery process is running? Thank you
This is great. I have an external HDD drive, but some of the data got lost when I plugged it in. My system automatically deleted some of the content with a warning alert "some of the data might be corrupted, do you still want to open it?" and when I clicked yes, some data got lost and I could not recovery it. So, is this software capable enough to recovery that kind of data?
I accidentally deleted a Word file and a PDF. I worked in it for 4 days after it got permanemtly deleted I was like I'm finished now But that software literally came in as a saviour, not before I saw this video Thank you very much, sir. It's much appreciated ❤
My photos and videos come from a Google Pixel 6 Pro seems like it has found those files but when I try opening it won't show the content - it says files are unsupported or maybe corrupted did anyone come across this?
When trying to open the photos it says the format is unsupported. this is the same for videos as well as it says its an unsupported format or file maybe corrupted
One of the things that has burned me many times is deleting a file or folder off of a networked drive and then realizing it was a mistake. For network drives the file are not copied to the recycle bin. Is there any way to recover files deleted from a mapped network drive?
I used Recuva recently when I deleted the wrong folder of a large backup, and also the emptied the Recycle bin. I'd previously missed the option to recover the full directory structure in the past, but remembered this time. Does WinfrGUI have that option?
@@TrainMyMynd It worked, but I'd checked the folder straight after doing it, and realised I'd deleted the wrong folder (and also emptied the recycle bin). I knew I could get the files back and remembered Recuva also had the directory structure option. IIRC it doesn't default to that, so I only noticed after doing a previous 'straight' all files recovery.
Get directions or precise. But unfortunately both of these programs are grossly ineffective.recuva a complete waste of time. No preview available. Detects hardly anything. And the other doesn't even recognize the card that is corrupted.
So - when you send your phone for repair and reset it first, then the repair-person can essentially steal your data? I guess a lot of people's information and hacks that they cannot understand how happened, really happened like that.
I have used software like this in the past and while recovering the data is better than losing it all it doesn't recover the file and folder structure. So you end up as you did with bunches of files, but they are not in the original file and folder structure.
Brian, would this be able to recover data on a 256Gb Flash Drive (whose drive letter is now unknown and not displayed in, say, Device Manager). Control Panel/hardware/USBs shows "Error 43: Device Descriptor unrecognised". Different PCs, different USB slots tried, but all to no avail. Tried 'Attrib etc' in Command Prompt, but that also doesn't reveal the Drive letter when several attempts made with various letters. Surely there must be some way of getting at this USB, Brian?
In the past you demonstrated how to use Test Disk (the one with PhotoRec). Given that I don't mind having a DOS like interface, I guess I can still use Test Disk, right? Many thanks!
Amazing Brian that an empty drive as in your video can have files that can be recovered. Plus I am going to assume that the data recovered is some that to all intents and purposes have been deleted! So it really mocks the assumption that a format of a drive does not actually remove any data eh? So I might give this a whirl as I have a brand new 64GB stick which after "formatting" will not work for storing anything on it now (it is SanDisk stick which on first view had some read only partition SanDisk partitions on it already?? What would you do in that situation??
When Windows writes a file to disk, there is metadata about the file stored in the file systems database. Does that metadata contain the file name? If so, why can't the data recovery software recover the recovered files' name? Thanks.
Do you have a video on how to clone a computer? My current computer is getting a bit flaky so I'd like to buy a new one but I don't want to go through all my software and re-install them manually.
Hi, i am using Win10 Pro 32-bit OS. I lost an important folder which included some documents and Pics. I installed the WinFrGUi software from the link you provided. When the app launches, it doesn't scan any drive from my PC and all the tabs are purged. Please assist.
Hi there. I have a portable hdd which has somehow converted itself to RAW.. I have scanned with mini tool and there’s 320G of pictures / videos.. before I spend $A100 that I will need to borrow! I thought I’d try a few other things first! Will this do what I need? Win 10 recognised drive, but just asks to format no matter what I try..
Thanks for the instructions. However, when I tried, this message appeared. THE APPLICATION CANNOT RECOVER THE ENCRYPTED PARTITION E: PLEASE DECRYPT AND TRY AGAIN. How can I decrypt my SD card, please?
ok so i used this a few days ago and first, it didn't work, just recovered a bunch of junk corrupted files and second i can't seem to delete the junk from my hard drive. i can't even force delete it.
I can not run this file as I don't have admin rights to my machine. I was able to download a portable version and I still can't run the program. I need admin rights for that too. Is it because this file was not digitally signed and can not be authenticated?
How can these data recovery software's keep saying they can recover data off a hard drive even if it is not seen by Windows anymore, when my hard drive is still seen by Windows but the software can not see my hard drive and it just freezes my PC until I unplug the faulty drive. I have tried every one I can find but none work trying to recover a suddenly failed hard drive with my 50 years of music collection on it.
I cant get it to download. Aftewr a fgew seconds it says "connection timed out". Is there any way to make my browser wait longer for a download to start? I mean, the download just be about to start but my stupid broswer's too impatent to just WAIT LONG ENOUGH for the dam download to start!

So you deleted all those files then since that time you formatted the device several times. Why did you format it more than once? Did you store any files on the drive after you deleted everything the first time? I'm a professional sceptic & the way you laid this out triggered my B.S alarm. There is something your not being 100% forthcoming about. I'm sorry but I call "Shenanigans"
