Yahoo Answers For Forensics Data Recovery
Question Computer forensics, data recovery??
ok, so here's the deal...I was working on a report for quite some time, and turned it into my teacher december 06 before winter break. Than, I got a computer virus and lost a lot of my files, including my essay. THAN, our teacher LOST many of the students' essays, including mine, and told us that we need to turn in another copy...I tried using data recovery software, but I can't seem to find the file...What should I do? I am even willing to go to a computer forensic, but is it worth it?
Best Answer It would probably be easier to just write another essay.. If the essay was your own work and you read the required reading materials etc., it shouldn't be too hard to come up with another essay

Question can forensics find stuff in the hard drive that a data recovery expert can't?
this is serious so please only people who know this answer should answer. i had given my hard-drive to a data recovery expert because i had once found a video of child pornography in my computer and wanted to know if there was more before making decisions to contact the police. the data recovery expert did not find the video i had seen but instead another disturbing child pornography video. i immediately took my hard drive to the police and they have given it to forensics to analyze it. My exhusband is under investigation. my question is why is it that the data recovery guy wasn`t able to find the video i had seen. will forensics be able to find it, what are the changes they don`t find it? I LIVE IN CANADA. Please only serious answers, I have a 3 year old girl, and I am so nervous and terrified he will some sort of visitation. I want this monster out of her life for good.
Best Answer I don't know what the qualifications of the "expert" you took it to are. But if the police there are anything like they are in the States they will absolutely be able to find everything that is on there. Even if the video is no longer present, there is still the other one the expert found. Our computer guys have recovered files and videos that have been deleted, and found things on reformatted drives. If it's there, they'll find it.
