help with file recovery

Postby thebrelon » Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:20 am

hi guys,

again I need your experts advices...
My computer crashed few days ago, and I was not able to reboot it, whatever way used. then as I didn't know what to do, I reinstalled windows, thus I had to format my C: drive... and lost lots of files I didn't backup on another drive!!!

here, is my question: what's is the best file recovery software I can use?
I already gave a go to PC inspector file recovery as it is freeware, but most of the file it recovered was under the cluster format/size, and then are unusable... :(

thanks

vince
