Can you help me retrieve my photos? I moved all my files right after i bought my laptop then after a month my i format my laptop cause it has a virus and i cant open it. ALL MY FILES WAS DELETED. My laptop got formatted 3 times, and i remember my files i moved on my laptop the first day i bought it. I moved it on my laptop last march 2015. Can i recover it? After i formatted my laptop 3 times PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASEE. THOSE PHOTOS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

If this is real, find someone to take an image of your complete laptop hard drive. then run good data recovery software on the image such as GetDataBack or R-Studio.

That's about all you can do. No idea what results you are going to have, but I suspect poor.

Is there any other way that i can recover it without removing my laptop hdd? I tried some recovery tool like remo, easeus, photorec but my photos i want to recover are not showing up i even tried deep scan

The article shows how to recover files without removing the hdd. It also explains why you shouldn't expect much from such recovery.

R-Studio Data Recovery Software

i would have try raw recovery with a software like r-studio and search for the photos only, i.e. (*.jpg Etc.)
it doesn't matter how many times you have formated the drive, as long as the format was a quick format "AND NOT" a full format, and the data "is not" overwritten with new data.
if the format was a full format or it's overwritten with new data, your data is gone.

Im installing r studio but it says there that i cant install in on my laptop where i lost my files, i dont want to remove my hdd. Is there any other way? Cant i install it on my laptop where i lost my files? I just want to recover photos. Sorry still a beginner seeking for help

right, you must avoid writing on the problematic drive

why not ?

I'm afraid not

you can continue the installation on the drive if you want, but it's strongly recommended not to, by writing new data on drive in question, you lowering the chances of the recovery

why not ?



Acutally there is a way to recover the files without removing the drive. R-Studio Emergency GUI Startup for Windows

Go to the link and scroll down to the bottom and download the Emergency GUI iso file. You then burn the iso to a disc and boot from it.
This will alow you to recover the files without needing to install R-Studio onto the drive as it runs R-Studio from the disc and the HDD is not in use.

You will just need to plug in a external drive or USB stick to save the recovered files too.
The free version will only recover files smaller than 256kb. But you will be able to preview all the files that it can recover so you know it will work before having to buy it.

Its hard for me those photos are originally from my iphone i moved it last march. Can i just recover it through iphone? A recovery that can recover the photos i moved files? I tried some but it only shows those photos i deleted.

may i know why i cant install the recovery software on the same drive i lost my files?

i already explained above, but ISTM that you didn't bother to read

lets say you wrote a story on a piece of paper with a pencil. then you changed your mind and rubbed it out with an eraser. Then you wrote another story on the same piece of paper and rubbed it out again. now lets say you wanted the original story... see how hard it would be to see it? that's what you would do if you tried to recover files to the same drive... you would overwrite the originals making it harder or impossible to get them back

we both know that this example is not even close to describe it

I know but I am trying to get the OP to understand what overwriting means. I don't hold much hope for this case though.

How is that not a good example?

Because overwritten pencil marks still have a slight chance you could eventually decipher it. Overwritten data, has absolutely zero chance.

Let's say you have a pint of Guinness, which you drink.

Then fill the pint glass up with lager.

But then you decide you want some more Guinness instead, so you search the glass of lager for the "missing" Guinness.

Guess what, it's gone!
