So I have a .odb file which for some unknown reason lost all its content. I was editing some entries in the DB and when I tried to save and close it, I wasn't able to. So I thought it was no big deal and decided to close it without saving with the expectation that only the latest changes I had made will be lost. But the next time I tried opening it I noticed it was sitting at 0 bytes. I am not sure if it was like that just before closing LibreOffice Base or no. Any idea how I can restore it if it's possible? Note that this wasn't a file I just created, but an old one which has been edited many times.

Hello,

I need to recover a file and / or image from a specific date from my HDD / SD drive, dating back around 2-3 months.
I know the date it was deleted and i even know vaguely the time of day ( 4pm - 8 pm ).
I tried some tools for datarecovery but for whatever reason, i just cant seem to recover that specific image.
Tools i used, EaseUS data recovery, Disk drill..
For the specific date / time there was no file matching, i was able to find other files that are much older.

Any suggestions on what i can do?

So I was having issues with my microSD card in my phone so i used R-Photo to recover the files on my sd card. However i am now having a problem where i am unable to open the recovered files (images). Whenever i click on my image files to open them, i get the error message in the title.

How can i fix this RPC server thing so i can open my images again?

I have a cracked disk that I would really really like to get the videos off of. The crack is all the way to the outside to the middle of the disk, though, the inner ring is not cracked. The crack stops at the inner ring.

I know that there has to be a solution to this. I’ve tried using an external disk reader on my computer, no luck. I tried a dvd player and a game system, no luck. I’d even be willing to pay a company to do this for me but google is not giving me the best results? Any suggestions?

TLDR; Cracked disk rlly want videos, willing to pay co. to do it.

my hdd data suddenly disappeared for no reason but i knew that my games and data were still there and i found the found.000 folder and i cant access my games or get them out of that folder anymore, what can i do? do i have to delete everything on my hdd? completely format it? or what should i do

Hey everyone

I am currenty in the middle of attempting to recover data from, what I think is a corrupted, microSD card. I have been following disk drill for this and chatgpt said it's possible for it to get stuck or take a while but it's been going for over 4 hours and is stuck on making a surface map. If you have any suggestions about disk drill or other software please tell me because I know nothing about data recovery. I have also been having tons of issues with the laptop I am using like seeing the file but explorer freezing whenever I try to open it or not being able to open Recuva when it's in the slot, so I would like to know if the corruption can spread somehow or if I have read too many books. I am trying to recover my data from the card and then format it to try and make it work because I don't wanna lose 1000 hours of data and 2 games.

for extra info: it's an sd card from a 3ds and only 2 days ago did it start with the problem, even though the sd card is in the reader it for some reason it doesn't have access to the card so I tried a few things like taking it out and putting it back in only for the same problem to keep happening. The reason as to why I think it's corrupted is because whenever it is in the reader I have trouble turning off the system but when it's not inside I have no problem at all.

Received texts in 2020 that was deleted and never thought i would need them for anything until now. Turns out those would be very useful now in a court matter, but unfortiunately i blocked the sender and deleted all messages long time ago. Is it even possible to retrieve them after this long? Found Disk Drill while searching for solution, could that be something useful? Phone is a Samsung.

Hi. First of all, I don't know anything about computers, files etc. so if anybody could help me, please explain it as simple as possible. 😂 Second of all, my English is not that good so excuse the mistakes. 😅

So, sometimes I screen record stuff on my laptop with the normal Xbox tool you know (Windows + Alt + R). But after that I normally cut the videos so I open the videos and click cut via the three dots. It never "hanged" before except this time. Or I thought it hanged but the video cutting program (standard one from Windows) just opened in the background as a small window - which never happened. So I didn't care about that and just proceeded with cutting my clip. I saved it and then realized that a folder was missing. I have multiple folders but that folder that got deleted somehow was hidden. But I had the "show hidden folders" option on and minutes earlier I saw it being there. Maybe that's an important information, idk. So the only hidden folder I had just got deleted by itself. I didn't do nothing, I didn't click something too fast. It wasn't in the recycle bin afterwards either. So I tried some recovery programs that I found online. I even paid 80 € for the easeus recovery wizard one. With that I could find the old folder. I recovered it onto a SD card but after hours of recovering the I think 20 GB folder I could not open it. These files aren't empty, they have the same size as before.

So my question: What do I do now? Did I do the right thing? What program helps me to repair the obviously damaged files? I tried one or two. They wanted me to upload an "example video" (I just know the German term) but it didn't work. It saw a video which said it can be repaired with the VLC player.

Nothing has ever happened before and now out of nowhere my hidden folder just disappeared. I wasn't even the folder in which I saved the clip that I cut so I just don't understand how and why this all happened. I just hope I can get all these video clips back somehow, I hope someone knows what to do and I hope I didn't damge it even more with all these recovery programs I tried. So again, I got them back on a SD card but they won't open. It just says error code 0xc00d36c4.

(Edit: It's a SSD drive. The easeus support told me since it's a SSD there is no way to repair the files)

So i wanted to use my hard drive that had ps4 games saved on it but i also wanted to save my pc games on there. So i did something and formated it and now the data is gone. It says the drive is empty, is there any way to get data back

Hello!

I had downloaded a .zip folder prior on google and it is still within my google download history, I had deleted it but now I would like it back. I've been looking around and using Recuva and DMDE to no avail, what can I do going forward? I have the file name but I'm not sure if these applications would work for only searching for that specific zip folder.

Thank you for your help.

I did some photography work on my card, I was in the sequence of photos when the camera's battery ran out, a few times it turned off, when I got home and connected the card it was no longer giving me access, can anyone offer a solution?

realizei um trabalho de fotografias no meu cartao, estava na sequencia de fotos quando acabou a bateria da camera algumas vezes chegou a desligar, quando cheguei em casa e conectei o cartao ele nao estava dando mais acesso, alguem arrisca uma solução?

the only issue that ive encountered so far is that after the recent windows 11 update it takes a while to shut down the pc, ill click windows > shut down and then after maybe 30 seconds or so it will show the shut down screen, and then it takes another couple of minutes to actually shut down. Ive restarted multiple times and this has been happening over multiple days. I checked uptime in task manager to make sure it wasnt keeping it on the whole time and it always reset whenever i started the pc again.

I can access all my data i think??

The PC took longer to start up today, maybe 2 minutes longer.

i ran sfc scannow, and it told me that there were corrupted files but that it couldnt fix them, so i ran DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (twice total) and both times it ended at 51.3%, and 51.4%, citing error 23

the second dsim was after i used properties > tools > error checking, which i was told was the same as running chkdsk, and then i ran chkdsk itself and it said no errors were found.

the only issue ive encountered is the slow shut down, which caused me to be concerned, but other than that i havent actually found any issues, but sfc scannow told me "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." while dsim told me "Error: 23 Data error (cyclic redundancy check)"

chkdsk returns "Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems. No further action is required."

Im not sure what the problem could be? Its only started happening since the recent update but I haven't managed to find other reports of this happening to people, so I'm not sure if its related or just a coincidence.

I have a 1tb SSD, and a 2TB NTFS SDD, which is external

Everything i read says that cyclic redundancy error means my data is essentially lost, but I seem to be able to access everything?? Should i try and get extra storage and save important things there while i still can??? or is it not likely to be an issue

Thanks to anyone who tries to help!

I got a brand new WD40EZAX as my new backup drive as my 2x 2TB seagate barracudas were on their way out with excess bad sectors. I backed up 1.9TB of data to them using Fastcopy and now the WD drive is head crashing very often(?) Video here

I did chkdsk /f /r and every time it encountered a bad sector it said (Not enough free space to repair bad sector). Event viewer shows I/O hardware errors too. Did I get a DOA drive? What do I do? How do I safely get the data I just wrote to it back off?

While using Alienware OS Recovery Tool, I accidentally selected my BitLocker protected 12TB WD Red Drive instead of the USB Flash Drive. I noticed it after the OS Recovery Drive was created. Then I deleted the volumes from Windows Disk Management and created a new volume.

After that, I tried to recover the files using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Technician 10.2.0 Software but it found only about 5GBs worth of files after multiple deep scans.

Is it not detecting the files because they were encrypted by BitLocker?

Is there any other tool that I can use to recover all the files? Or should it be sent to an expert?

Also, I noticed there is a Special Data Recovery Service Feature mentioned on Amazon (where it was purchased from) from Western Digital. Is that feature free? How can I claim it?

I am badly in need of help.

Thanks in advance for any sort of cooperation!

Hi guys, I'm trying to recover a 1TB hard drive with my music projects using disk drill, I tried it once and the program said it would take a total of 321 hours and a few minutes, when it reached around 300 hours the program crashed, I'm thinking about try again, can you tell me if it's normal to take all this time?

I have an older Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk (P/N 9ZQ2N1-500) 1 TB. It literally worked one day, and when I tried to look for something 2 days later, it didn't. Windows computer will not even recognize it, even out of the original plastic case with a SATA cable.
Took it to a local (Central Ohio) reputable shop and they could not access data. They told me there are services who may be able to. Specifically, one near Buffalo I think, but would likely charge $1000 or more. So I've kept it in my drawer waiting to see if I was truly missing anything since I used to try to be very good about duplication. Unfortunately, this was my "End of the Line" drive, and it seems there are files on there I have no other place.

I found a list earlier of "reliable" services, but now I can't find it. Although it appears several folks warn about Fields, who I almost went with.
Can someone direct me to reliable options?

I have the problem of having sent files such as photos or videos via direct message and I sent them for 1 use and they were not saved in my files. I would like a way to recover or be able to view these files

What happened:

I grabbed the wrong modular power supply cable out of my bin and plugged in my WD80EMAZ 8TB hard drive. Now the drive won't spin and it can't be read.

I used my multimeter in continuity mode and checked the fuses and diodes near the power input. Here's what I saw:

Left S - 0

Right S - 0

SUA - 008

Z4 - 179

I have limited understanding of all of this. Do these numbers show my light and right S fuses are blown?

Hello my fellow Redditors,

I'm wondering if there is a way to recover old DM's from about 3 years back? I have tried downloading my data from IG but it was not there. Any help is greatly appreciated!

2TB Corsair MP600 PRO LPX, M.2 (2280) PCIe 4.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, 7100MB/s Read, 6800MB/s Write, 1000k/1200k, PC/PS5 7LY4Z

The drive froze randomly 3 days ago on YouTube and PC auto restarted. The problem didn't persist until it happened again today coincidentally while on YouTube? (Maybe is just watch too often anyway). Once restarting it froze upon password entry a few times until it wouldn't even get past BIOS.

I put my old m.2 in the m.2 slots on motherboard including using a PCI extension and my motherboard is working with it. I Did a fresh install on a spare SSD. Could not see the Corsair m.2 at all in bios/disk manager or CrystalDiskInfo.

I have now used a SABRENT M.2 NVMe Enclosure which I can see the drive in disk manager but it requires "initialisation only".

What are my options for recovery FREE & PAID

I also think if I can't recover it to initialise the disk and then try a recovery of data after which I managed to do before on an HDD with surprising results. Doesn't give peace of mind much :/

What programs can I use?

[SOLVED]

A follow up from a previous post. I pulled two 250gb Samsung 850 EVO M.2 mSATA Series SSD from a laptop with a failed motherboard. The SSDs were originally configured as RAID 0. I am attempting to recover the files from these SSDs. I attached them to a new computer using external enclosures. I ran DMDE on the two SSD and selected "Construct RAID and did a full scan. I saved the scan results to my desktop.

Now what? Im not sure what the next step is.

Thank you

I'm posting this here to see if anyone can explain to me what just happened on my PC.

I have a 5TB usb drive from WD that I use to backup small stuff and as I was just finishing setting up my new PC, I used that drive to get all the latest daily files I work with from my old PC and have them on that drive, so I can put the old box away and start using the new one without going back and forth for certain files etc.

Around 500GB of data was on the drive, I bought it recently, a month or two ago.

So yesterday I figured, the new PC up and running, I might as well just make a folder on a internal drive, dump all the stuff from this USB drive there, and have all 5TB free for whatever.

I went into Total Commander, like I always do, created a folder on my local HDD, selected all the files on the 5TB drive, alt key and dragged them into the new local folder. It took I guess 20 minutes or so.

And then I realized that the local folder is empty, 0kb. I thought it was hidden files, something, I couldn't believe it. No files were in the local folder. And of course, the 5TB drive was empty. Tried some file recovery application on that 5TB drive, it managed to save jpg's, all other files were not usable, from videos to *.psd files.

Can anyone figure out what or how this happened?

Hello! I want to start by explaining that English is not my language but I need all the help I can get.

My external hard drive is damaged, I downloaded the DMDE application to recover the files. According to DMDE I have more than 150,000 files and I want to know if it is worth paying for the 1 year subscription to be able to recover them.

Your help would be very useful since I do not understand much about software and computers.

Thank you very much.

Hello, so I have a main drive (Linux), and another SSD drive. Is it possible to use PhotoRec on the main drive Linux, scan, and recover the files to the SSD drive (not a partition, but separate.

Dropped iphone 13 pro max phone in seawater at harbor 6 days ago, about 2 feet deep and retrieved it within 5 minutes. phone initially worked, we turned it off and turned back on about 4 hours later, was still working but then around 4 am screen went black, eventually stopped ringing. didn't attempt to charge it. I read most of the water damage posts already on reddit. I don't care about the phone and just want the pictures/photos back from last 2 years b/c apparently that was the last time i cloud back up anything since i guess the 2.99 i was paying/month wasn't enough space. I know i messed up. Any hope to recover the photos? I also sent the phone off to safedrive (before i found the reddit posts) b/c that is what Apple recommended. I'll $$$ for the photos b/c its a lot of memories. Any hope?
