ok, slow typer again. microsoft got involved and did a restore. I "think" the allotment for restores was set too small as that point is now gone. I had wanted to try it in safe mode and see if results were better.

so are you saying it is better for that drive to be in my computer as another drive or a junk computer? (which isn't happening quick due to the quick build i did)

Shane:
The main reason I want it in another system is because when doing a data recovery of deleted files, the data is till on the drive until some other data over writes it. So every time the system is ran and things are written to the drive you take a chance of some of the old data getting over written. When files are deleted they are not actually deleted. They are simply marked as free space so something else can write over them. So recovery software can read that data and recover the files.

So when it does recover the files it needs to copy the data, and we cant have it wrtie the data to the same drive in case it overwrites it, so we have it save the data to another drive. All of which we can do if it is in a system as a 2nd drive. We can copy the recovered data to the main drive without overwriting the old data on the old drive. :wink:
