Flash the local drives, scan and retrieve deleted files with vsc++

928 Views Asked by At

Does anyone know how to be able to list down all the working local drives ( like drive C, D, removable disks and so on..) through combo box? And with that, I could be able to scan that specific drive and retrieve all the deleted files in it. I mean, to recover those files that have been deleted through formatting or by pressing shift+delete.

Just the functions that would be needed to do all of these stuffs would be enough though. By the way,

I know it would be hard if I would be using high-level language like Java and C# to do that, so visual c++ is the one I've been working on.

That's it! I hope to get positive response from you guys. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

pull the drive out of the unit, if it's NTFS, go get getdataback for NTFS. Install it on a windows computer, slave this drive to the system and scan it for deleted files.

It will show all the ntfs structures, even deleted or destroyed ones.

It's not free but will be the best $100 you ever spent if it saves your files.
