  1. Spora ramsoware how can I save my pc from this virus?
  2. Minitool is very good. Dmde is probably the best but they like their
    complex GUI. Recuva is ok. Sometimes external drives show as "blank"
    (wrongly) because the computers USB driver or its chipset driver isn't
    installed.
  3. Exelente video! Conoces alguna capacitacion en idioma español?Gracias
  4. hey how you go about recovering a drive that all files are visible but became 0kb after a virus ? the normal way is not working
  5. Hi Eli or Anyone, I have accidentally formatted the password drive in Sony External HDD(HD-E1) and reinstalled the password software with same password. but later found, it formatted the actual data and its gone now. Sony in no more supporting data recovery in this case. With some data recovery software, i could recover some RAW files which is clubbed together with some file formars like, gz, .flv and so on. I suspect, its recoverying the blocks encrypted by password. Is there any software which will recover formatted drive which is password protected by Sony software. Thanks in advance. Really appreciate if anyone could point me in right direction. Note: I still know the password.
  6. help me for the DBA process
  7. If you install the un-delete software after you've deleted files cant that overwrite the files you want to save? Should you install it to an external memory?
  8. Eli I have  a wd hdd that was dead. I found the same one made in the same month and swapped out the circuit board. Now it is alive (using an external enclosure) but it is undetectable in windows 7 but shows up grey in disk management. Show I go ahead and create new volume and try and get my files off using Recuva after windows is able to discover it?
  9. Are you selling mobo's on the side ;)?  Telling people they will have to buy a new mobo if they cant remember their BIOS password is wrong.  All you need to do is clear the CMOS and the password is gone.  Plus, if the user placed a hard drive password on their hard drive you can easily remove it as well (and in some cases recover what the password was) with hardware that's readily available. 
  10. Thanks for the lesson Eli! We appreciate your videos!
  11. very well Eli The Great!...thank you :)
  12. Cool video!
  13. Eli your the best
  14. I know this is an old video Eli but I've got a question. About 3 years ago, I deleted ten Bitcoins when I formatted a windows partition to a linux one (I realize I'm an idiot). A "linux guru" friend of a friend formatted the drive back to NTFS so that I could use Recuva. The result was fairly garbled. Is there any hope to get my precious Bitcoins back?
  15. Eli, thank you so much for making these videos. I have been on the path of studying PC repair for months. I even paid about $150 for a course from some very popular guys, and I just did not understand it. I wound up returning it for a refund. But YOU not only know what you are talking about, but you are so good at explaining it in terms that I can understand. I look so forward to watching all the videos in this series, and getting fed by all you have posted here on your channel. Thank you!
  16. Hey Eli, Is there anyway you can do a tut on Mac recovery? I accidentally wiped my HD w/o a backup OS, now I don't have an OS..Please Help!
  17. Wait Wait. What happens when you take a windows HDD and plug it in to a Mac? I know what you said, but what does the mac DO to it? I though Macs can look into NTFS. If you can explain or link me to some where it goes into greater detail about this.
  18. if you can illustrated your speech would be great, we already know your face.
  19. And yet there are still people today who will destroy a perfectly good hard drive because they believe that even if you zero-fill the entire drive, any 14 year old "hacker" can magically bring back all of the data in about 30 seconds. I blame CSI...
  20. Hi Eli my question is how can we recover a file in hard disk if it is completely deleted.
