Hi Guys
I have a hard drive that has been reformatted and windows reinstalled twice (long story) and i need to recover a quickbooks file from the first install.
The process was... the computer was Windows 7, restored with Windows 7, then restored with windows 8.1
I ran the hard drive on GetDataBack and the file is found, in the correct location, but when it is recovered it is corrupt. I also tried to recover some excel documents (not as important) and they are also coming over corrupt.
Do you guys have a suggestion on another tools/software that might recover the data?
Thanks
Mike
