[QUOTE="Neemobeer, post: 733564, member: 91900"] Timing is pretty critical for recovering files, if you don't attempt it right away it's very unlikely you will be able to recover them. When a file is deleted the index in the MFt is marked as available and the data remains on the disk. In this case data is pretty easy to recover. Even if a new OS is installed it's typically installed on the same physical sectors of the disk. As new data is written it will start overriding those marked deleted item locations. Once a file is written one or more times to the location the old file was stored at it's likely gone at that point. [/QUOTE]
