| We accidentally erased a file and pictures? Is there
anyway we can recover them? |
Maybe. When a file is erased to your eyes, it is not really erased. It just removes itself from your view. The space occupied by the file you erased is made available for future use. While the space occupied by the old 'erased' file has not been written over with a new file, your old 'erased' file should be recoverable. This means that the more you use your computer, the more time goes by, the greater the chance that your 'erased' file will truly be erased and unrecoverable. The good news is that with hard drives being so large today your chances of recovering your data intact are greater than they used to be back in the day of smaller hard drives. Data recovery is time-consuming and tricky, and frankly should be handled by professionals. Call us we can help. If you want to risk it yourself there are plenty of data recovery programs available on the Internet. Go back to computer question index.

| So and so reformatted my hard drive: does that
mean my information is gone forever? |
No, it does not necessarily mean that your information is lost forever. The same principle explained in the answer to the question 'We accidentally erased a file and pictures? Is there
anyway we can recover them?' applies here as well. Remember the sooner you have data recovery carried out for you the greater the chance that your precious info can be recovered. Go back to computer question index.
