I have a tool (Handy Recovery 4.0) that I used to attempt a recovery of a friend’s “outlook.pst” file from a drive that had been reinstalled with Windows XP… I was unable to find the .pst file in any of the Handy Recovery tool’s deleted items folders and thus have not been able to recover this outlook.pst file.

My question is whether or not there is a better and more thorough recovery tool that may allow a greater depth of recovery scanning to possibly allow me to find the old .pst file and recover?

I am thinking that since the hard drive is a 500 gig drive and he has currently only written approx. 30 gig in the Win XP re-install gives us a decent shot that the actual portion of the drive that housed the old .pst file still may be able to be recovered, yet the tool I am using is just not finding them???

Unfortunately I am relatively new at this process and would welcome any advice on how to be able to assist my friend?

Thanks for any support.
CJ

Download data recovery programs by Geeksnerds Limited, scan your drive and check if you can locate the desired file, you can use the search functionality of the software to look for the file, if you can trace the file, then validate its size, If the file you are looking for is recoverable then the Geeksnerds recovery software will work for you.
