Ya Augeas, i cant do anything abt my lost data nw i guess......the data ws of abt 25 gb......at 1st i hd recovered a folder of 3gb (pics & videos), which ws properly restored as i recovered it on other drive.....the next time when i went to recover rest of the data, i accidentally selected to recover on the same drive & got screwed....
The last thing i tried ws checking file signatures (headers), in hex......eg: i opened a .jpg using hex editor, go to see the header is something diff, i changed it to .jpg's header but tht too didnt help....
Anyways thanx 4 d reply......
