One day my computer had a pop up saying my harddrive died or something over and over.. and some corrupted system files anyway.. I think it was a virus.
A week later without being able to do boot it up (today) I try to reinstall windows but it doesnt let me.. so I format the hard drive 2 times. Still doesnt let me then I delete a partition. After that I was able to install a fresh copy of windows deleting everything I had.. working computer YAY.. but then I remembered I had a notepad file with 10 years of account information for everything I have done on a computer.
I downloaded a few things trying to get back the programs I lost.. then felt like trying one of these programs even though I had no belief it would ever work.. eventually went with a deep scan on this thing and after like 3 hours I looked at the result and seen for some reason 9 copies of the file I was after. Opened a few of them and all were with weird symbols.. was happy then sad.. was about to give up then for some reason i opened one more and it happened to have loads of information all perfect.
I still can't believe that I was able to get my file back.. its so crazy. Really crazy. Made an account just to say that lol... how this thing works I have no idea.. but it works for anyone who sees this topic and isn't sure about trying it.
I am still amazed like 15 minutes later lol..
