URGENT: How to register restorer2000

[megalomania]

I have a very severe problem here that needs addressed ASAP. I am using restorer2000 demo from their website, and I need the full version to be able to actually recover a file. All I can find at the myriad warez sites are serial numbers. That's all well and good but there is no place to add the serial in the demo, I think there is a seperate full version.

Does anyone have the full version, or know how to register the demo? This is a quite urgent problem... I am afraid I will have to close the board if this is not resolved soon.

If the specific program isnt important, only getting back the file, I would suggest EasyRecovery. Ive used this in the past and had good results, it was also the fastest program I tried. I dont have a recent version though I'm sure its widely available.

Did you need to recover a file? If so, what type, how was it lost, etc?

I installed windows and both my secondary and tertiary drives are no longer recognized as being formatted to NTFS. The files are intact according to restorer2000, but the demo limits me to restoring files no larger than 45k. I fear this may be Norton's doing.

I will try EasyRecovery as per your suggestion Marvin.

The irony is I have restorer2000, but of course I can't access it because I backed up everything on drive D!

Also a bootable CD of Knoppix, will almost always recognize bad windows drives. Gotta love linux.

Arrgh! I downloaded restorer2000, but it tried to restore some weird 128 GB file which overflowed my harddrive. I could not figure our where the space was being consumed, so I had to reformat and reinstall windows again. That's OK because I ended up getting some Internet Explorer hijack surfing all those warez sites without my usual protections.

At least I was able to restore the Forum backup files...

It is OT but I had to ask. Friend of mine had windows crushdown ( imagine that... unlikely event isn't it?). I borowed him my Knoppix CD that I didn't test at that moment and we naturally could see all files on his drive that XP had locked (sure my a**). Anyway we didn't make it take those files and copy them to some other Knoppix made directory or drive that my friend could access to...what did we missed?

Thanks Marvin, EasyRecovery saved the day. Restorer2000 did not restore my bookmarks for Firefox, nor did it keep a directory structure. I thought I was in for days of painstaking reconstruction of my directories, but EasyRecovery found everything and copied it right where it should be. I almost had to chuck all my porn :(
