Not sure if this is the right place to ask, hopefully it is. But anyway, my backup drive i used to put all my crap from my other PC to save so i can put it on my new PC i just built was reformatted somehow. No clue when it happened or what. I've checked out a bunch of software to many to name that i can remember, and most of them either just showed me the same crap/Worked better but all the files were still corrupt even when i did try to recover a few, nothing actually worked even text files and images.
Only ones i could find that worked really well were Disk internals partition recovery and some disk doctors program can't remember the name, they actually found all the files and i could preview ones that it supported to preview (Images, AVI i think, and wmv files). So i know most of it it there and probably recoverable. But i don't actually have 100$+ for those two programs after i spent money on my new PC.
Also, there were some programs that actually kinda worked, but when it lists about hundreds of thousands of files and puts em in category but they're all renamed, then it'd just be a pain in the ass to sort through them all just to find out what it actually was.
I mostly just want to recover my bookmarks backup from firefox, and a bunch of game saves from the games i was playing on my old pc, nothing else has been written to that drive(yet). So any help would be great, or am i just screwed unless i spend money on one of those two programs or another that actually works?
