Can this be used to recover excel files from a corrupted flash drive
177414
I am running Mac OS10.10.1 I use two programs on a regular basis to keep my files in good order: Alsoft's "Disk Warrior" which corrects mess-ups in the file structures and Prosoft's "Drive Genius 4" which will also repair or rebuild your file structures, among other good things like defraging. You may have to drag that corrupted Excel file to your desktop first. Hope this helps. Barry B

It is possible but depends on how much free space you have on your HD and how long ago, how often you empty your trash ; Data Rescue is well worth buying even in the worst case let's say it doesn't, don't think it's the last time you might need this. I recovered stuff from reformated camera card of my wife as well, this software is amazing -

No, I purchased this unit for that purpose and it didn't work. I could see and read files from the USB drive but could not save files to the drive. The problem seemed to be that it was so slow the write failed due to time out, not permissions.

I don't any of the data error recovery capabilities, but I wouldn't expect any in it. You can replace drives and restore from backups.The manual for this model is here: http://buffalo.jp/support_s/guide/path/lswxl/en/manual/manual.html

I believe so. The adapter should help you get files from a drive regardless of the operating system on which the drive used to run. The drive I used it on used to run Windows Millennium Edition (ME). Windows ME would no longer boot, so I used the adapter to rescue the files. After I removed the hard drive, I connected the adapter to it then connected it all to a working computer via USB. The working computer recognized the old hard drive as a remote drive, and I was able to harvest the files.

Possible with certain software. Do not write over disk. I have recovered several photos but not all. search google for the software.

The simple answer is "No". The USB stick just needs to be formatted as a floppy. You don't really need any special software at all. But the software that comes with it does a better job of formatting a usb stick. One suggestion is use a small usb stick though, otherwise you will be wasting a lot of space. It worked great on a Burney cnc machine.

Check this link It's to a discussion about how to undelete files on a flash drive. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1653533/recover-deleted-files-usb-flash-drive.html It should work on this if your PC recognizes it via USB.

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

I believe formatting of the flash drive shall remove everything from it. So its good to take a backup of the Sandisk software on your HDD. Hope this helps.

That depends on the kind of failure you have on your external drive. If the drive has died, then nothing to do. If the drive works, then you should be able to recover. I rather do that connecting the drive to a PC directly.

You should be able to recover just the files that you want, assuming you can locate them (meaning that they haven't been overwritten yet) and you can identify the names of the files. (In the case of a really bad disc crash, you might only find hundreds of now un-named files that need to be opened individually to figure out which is which. This is rare, though, and doesn't sound like what you're dealing with.)

At this moment I am pulling data off an external USB drive that appeared to be totally dead. Clack, click, whiirrrrrrrr and never came online. I froze it. Not kidding: http://www.emergingtechs.com/posts/put-your-hard-drive-in-the-freezer-to-recover-data/ Mine works for about 1/2hr until the drive warms up again, then back into the freezer. Given this scenario it makes sense to know what is critical, get it first, and get the non-essential stuff later. All my important stuff is already recovered and now I'm copying over 40GB of "nice to have" stuff. As soon as this process is over I'm going to improve my backup scenario!

Yes; I have extracted a number of laptop drives from dead laptops and used in this manner. Any drive enclosure made for appropriate drive type will work.

Not an expert, but you may try reformatting the usb drive in FAT32 structure.

I do not believe so, this software requires direct access to a drive, and unless you have jailbroken your iPad / iPhone or done something to allow USB type access to the flash drive, Data Rescue 3 won't be able to see the drive in the iPad/iPhone.

Yes. But I don't recommend this drive. I got 250 GB of files on it that cannot be read anymore!
