    This thing absolutely does recover files. I just hope it can get the video files I was after. I'm finding old memes I deleted, but so far, no video file has popped up. If no such thing appears from the USB drive or the SSD, I guess I'll just have to figure out if those 32kB .gz files are transfer packets and if I can use those to reassemble the video.

    Can't thank you enough. Spent hours installing software that claimed it was free only to find out they charge. For you, I liked, subbed and shared and for the software creator, I will donate some money which is the first time I've actually ever donated for freeware software. That is how much I appreciate no being raked over the coals to recover important files.
    My issue was copying over drone video files from an aerial shoot and halfway through the copy from a brand new SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB micro SD card to my computer, I started getting errors saying files weren't there. So I guess the partition somehow got corrupted. I've never seen that before so is that a bad micro SD card or just an rare anomaly?

    @US_Joe Před 10 měsíci +3

    Good vid Brian. Are the recovered file names original or generated by the software? It can be a real time consuming task to rename the files as you made them. I use Wondershare Recoverit. It was the best IMHO against 3 others including yours. Why? Because it has the least amount of hits with "lost file name". Can you imagine renaming video and music files manually? Hint: The file's metadata might bail you out as to what file it is. G'day Mate 👍

    Nice video. Thanks for making it.
    My problem was that my harddisk wouldn't spin but I had also an exactly same harddisk than is working so I thought that would be easy sollution. Switch the motherboard on de HD and yes after I done that the hadrdisk would spin again. So I thought I was done but NO. If the BIOS on the HD Motherboard is not the correct one (original) the BIOS on the motherboard of the computer will not see the harddisk so I still can not access it.
    I'am trying loads of software and most programs see the phisicaldrive but still I can not recover the data. 😭
    I'am now running PhotoRec for about an hour but it has not find anything. It is looking for only MP4.
    You mentioned a program GetDataBack but if I search for it I get multiple options. Can you give the right link please.
    Maybe you know an other way to solve my problem. If so please can you give me some advice.
