Me fall out of love with the GTi?

Bugger.... I will take the pc to school tomorrow and ask the administrator to try mount it. Im just scared that by mounting it wrong I may lose the work I did back up on the second hardrive.

Thank you Newgolf. I love it. Will download it tomorrow at school.

What happens if you formatted the flashdrive though? Then I assume you cant get any info back right?

Mike

DONT use that drive on a non Windows OS if you want to get any data off it Mike!

Shiza...... I tried to partition it on Opensuse already  But then deleted the partitions 

It'll still get data off the drive, just dont overwrite whatevers on it with new data "over the top". When you delete stuff on a windows drive, it just gets the record wiped showing where that data is, its still there but the drive doesnt know about it. You'll get stuff you need off it, I'm pretty certain of that!

How do you people know all this stuff?? lol. I have not plugged anything into the Opensuse software yet. This could get fun

I used to support a massive Retail companies point of sale system that had Dos 6.22 on local hard drives. They used to overheat all the time, and lose the sales data that was on them, amounting to over £20k per till on some days. This meant a full stock take as they had sales based ordering, i.e. you sell a tin of beans, it reorders a tin of beans. If the till dies with lots of stuff sold on it, none of that gets reordered 

I used to use Ghost Corporate to back them up daily over the network, and clone the disks for fast replacement! GetDataBack saved my bacon many many times I can tell you

Welcome back Mike 

Good luck with the data recovery stuff, NewGolf and Topher have given you very good advise but here's another utility I have used in the past with some mixed results after some of my users have trashed or partially re-imaged hard disks on tills systems (seams I have a similar background to NewGolf) - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step

Oh and a guy borrowed a camera memory card from me once for his holiday. He formatted it many many times  after using it, then gave it back. I wanted to see if GetDataBack worked in such a situation, and found out he'd been taking photo's of his GF with it, if you know what i mean....

She was "neatly trimmed"

Oh yes...any hard disk, any memory key, any flash drive....its all still on there! Even if deleted, formatted, deleted again etc...! All you have to do is learn how to use the software. GetDataBack is GUI based so easy to use unless you know about command lines.

Brilliant! I do have a degree in computer science and software eng.. so I should hope I can use my expensive well learned education in palgarism to figure it out from somewhere!

Where do I get if from..

Thanks guys for all the help. Will be downloading that software tomorrow and let you know the results. Thanks for the wishes guys. And what hell. Switched my camera on and its working perfect again. Really weird stuff going on. I must admit opensuse has awesome sound. It kicks xp's butt. I love it. I might have figured out the harddrive mounting thing. Thanks toph
