Ok, so this morning I went into my networked hard drive to delete a sub-folder I didn't want, and accidentally deleted the whole folder. Vista apparently thinks that things from a networked hard drive don't need to go to the recycle bin. What was in this folder you might ask? All of the music I've downloaded in the last six months, including several mixes from Bandom Big Bang that are mostly unrecoverable if I can't get the files back.

So I've spent this morning downloading file recovery programs from CNET. I can't find one that can search networked external hard drives (I have an IOMEGA drive). Does anyone out there know of something that could help? I'm willing to pay for the software if it's reasonably priced.





GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I bought Zero Assumption Recovery to rescue some files from an old drive with good result. You can download and do a test run to see if you can see the missing files, and pay for it then, which is what I did when I realised folders upon folders with assumed lost images were found.

Yep indeed....files deleted from a networked drive delete and don't go to the recycle bin, have yet to discover any recovery method.

Is this a work-related networked drive? If so, the office would have backups, wouldn't they?

Regardless, *hugs you bunches omg*

Nope, it's mine, just an external drive that plugs into the router so I can access it from both my work and personal computers. :(

I'm off to buy a USB to USB cable, in the hope I can make it just a regular drive and find it that way. If not, well, I can probably get about half of it back, since I spent the last 2 days uploading that half to my iTunes.
