Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

Anyone here know of any good Data recovery tools?

Accidentally wiped a External HD... Photos of Dad on there, so I’d obviously like to get them back!!!

Cost is immaterial...

Sorry, I'm of no help. I bet a few regulars on this thread will be though. Hope you can find a solution - there's nothing worse than losing photos!

I'm of no help either, Mattie. Sorry about that.

Here are a few ideas from lifehacker though:

Loooonnnnggggg day! First I have to say thank you to MoN, jo & Kickin for keeping the earthquake updates rolling consistently!

Seriously, thank you all SO much!! To all three of you...

Of course Mini's surgery was the more involved one. Things were worse than thought once the surgeon could see more. She's doing well all things considered, although in pain. She's a tough little cookie though. Very alert when she woke up from the surgery and very independent getting to the car and into my mom's house afterwards. She put down a good number of chicken fingers as soon as we got there too lol. Her choice of food, but shocked me she wanted (and killed) chicken fingers right after waking up from surgery! It all caught up to her though (as well as the pain medication) and she started feeling tired and a bit weak after a little while. I got her all set up in a bedroom there with everything she needed and then went to pick up her FIVE prescriptions. Sheesh. Painkillers, blood thinners, nausea medication, constipation medication and an aspirin for when the blood thinners are finished. Went back, gave her the meds she was due for and then hung out with my mom, sister, niece and nephew for a bit which was really nice. : ) Oh, Mini's father decided today was one of the days that he would actually be a father to her (I just love how he picks and chooses when to be involved - very few and very far between). Kind of annoyed me that my mother had to sit in the waiting room so that he could come with me into the pre-op room with Mini to meet with the surgeon, nurse and anesthesiologist. He will have zero part in her recovery. No aspect of it. I don't think she's seen him since Christmas, the one day per year he gives her an hour and a half of his time. Ugh. My mom should've been in there with me as she will be the one taking care of and helping Mini while I'm at work for the next SIX weeks, not her show-up-when-it's-convenient-and-makes-me-look-like-a-superhe​ro 'father'. No, I didn't say these things to or in front of Mini. That's not how I roll. But it sure as hell is how I feel. And so does she without ANY influence from me. He's just that lame.

She has to wear a brace that is basically the length of her leg to keep it straight for the next 6 weeks. The first 4 of those weeks she will also need to use crutches. She just lost her summer vacation really. It's a bummer. The less involved surgery would've had her walking this weekend. No exaggeration. So it's disappointing, but the surgery went well and she's doing good so far. She's gonna be miserable so quickly. She can't cheer now all summer and won't be able to compete with the team in the Fall. We'll get through this though, of course.

Thank you all who sent love, prayers, thoughts, vibes, etc. Much appreciated reading through as I was catching up.

I have used there product a number of years ago and it worked. On a PC when you delete a file the operating system just removes the first letter of the file name. Until you do read and writes to the HD the files are still there. If you wiped the drive they do have a program that can recover the files most of the time.
Good luck.

The life hacker info has some great tools. The Recuva program has high ratings.

I am so sorry I missed this! This week has been hell, but also good in some ways.

So sorry to hear she has to miss the entire summer. That's a total bummer.

By the way, just a bit of advanced warning: if her knee surgery wound starts blistering or any other complications start, get to the doctor immediately and don't accept "this just happens and we don't know why". I did get to the doctor immediately but I didn't find out until later -- until about two weeks ago -- that treatment is available for what I had - hyperbaric oxygen chambers are the treatment for non-healing wounds.

Insurance won't pay for it, because it's expensive. Don't accept that either.

It is likely I had a reaction to the anesthetic that caused my complications to happen.

Ugh, that is such BS my friend, that you had to deal with all of that. : (

We got to take the brace off temporarily today to take the ACE bandage off underneath as well as the dressing. Finally got to see what it looks like under all of that. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looked. Swollen, but not terribly. Bruised a little, as expected.

She's so damn determined, and I love that. Easy at her age lol. But she's mostly doing good, and it all looks pretty good. She's just in a lot of pain. Handles it like a champ, but I know she's hurting. Hate that I can't do anything more for her. :\

Love you much Kickin!!!
