Arghh :mad: this is really annoying. Okay, here's my problem, I had a bunch of .avi files, about 60, and I accidentally deleted then somehow. I really need to get these files back.

So far I've tried to Data Rescue II, which I later found out couldn't restore .avi files. Then I downloaded FileJuicer, and MediaRECOVER, which could only restore files from removable media. Any ideas guys? Please help.

Data Rescue II should work if you have not made any changes to what is on your hard disk since deleting then (or rather big changes). You need to run a full scan.

Steve010000 wow, you are one of those dumb people who think you know the rules as soon as you join. Then you post about things that the threader already said he tried. I think I might ban you for a week.

And no, DO NOT POST ILLEGAL STUFF YOU FOUND.
