Recovering erased dvd

JasX

This is why most people BACK IMPORTANT STUFF UP.... in more than one place

JasX, unfortunately, most of us we just don't realise it until something like this happens. I can't express how horrible it is to think that we lost this irreplaceable dvd.

It appears that I'm very lucky on this occasion and DiskInternals seems to have found the files, but I'll need to pay $39.95 to register in order to recover them. The other sites have proved fruitless so far, but I'll keep on at it, other than that it's an expensive mistake!

Please learn from this and be warned if you haven't backed up your hardrive, cds, dvds, etc this could so easily happen to you too! You never think it will until it does and then it's the most awful feeling.

Thank you again to everyone for your help so far.

I accidentally erased a dvd rw containing irreplaceable camcorder footage of my children. Can't begin to say how upset I am:(. Prefer to do this for minimal cost as after this I'm going to back everything up to make sure it doesn't ever happen again.

Obviously not that important....:undecided

Funny how all these things seem to be irreplacable, invaluable, priceless, most important things yet people can't be !!!!!d to back them up and when they lose them, don't want to pay to recover them.

Not really. The morans who don't back up supposedly invaluable, irreplacable stuff on hard drives are looking at least at £500 to recover them if the hard drive packs up.

Indeed; strangely when you tell them that it will cost £300+ for recovery, and not £30, it seems that suddenly they're not so irreplaceable after all...

I take it you guys have never ever made a mistake of any kind then. Busy lives sometimes mean these things get put off and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking it would never happen to me.

I am happy to pay whatever it takes to restore the dvd, but as this is a money saving website I would prefer to keep the cost down using the advice of helpful members and not those who just wish to diss me when I already know I have screwed up big time.

Nobody is 'dissing' you. It's just that this scenario is repeated on here several times a week with people saying that 'cost is no object'. Yet when they find out that the potential bill might be in the hundreds, they decide that their data isn't so precious after all. Everything has it's value.
