Recover Damaged notepad Files.

September 14th, 2016, 7:12

Hello guys, This is my first post Here. After Deleting some Important Data by accident on My Flash memory. I tried to recover By using multiple data recovery programs. But None of them worked untill I tried Ease US and OnTrack easyrecovery. All files ( PDFs and word offices) documents were succesufully recovered. However, The most Important ones (txt files) were damaged I suppose. Instead of showing me the text that took me months of work. It now shows some weird characters Like :

On some notepad documents.

And These :

碁碂碃碄碅碆碇碈碉碊碋碌碍碎碏碐碑碒碓碔碕碖碗碘碙碚碛碜碝碞碟碠碡碢碣碤碥碦碧碨碩碪碫碬碭碮碯碰碱碲碳碴碵碶碷碸碹確碻碼碽碾碿磀磁磂磃磄磅磆磇磈磉磊磋磌磍磎磏磐磑磒磓磔磕磖磗磘磙磚磛磜磝磞磟磠磡磢

Where did you download all the recovery programs to? Was it to the same drive as the data you are trying to recover?

Sadly I had seen all three posts too. I guess several of us are in the habit of checking through a list of forums a few times a day. I know at least two to three times each day I troll the forums where people typically post HDD issues.
