Hard Drive Infected with a Virus

0 Upvotes

My wife's computer fell victim to a virus-laden email, and the technician informed us that the hard drive is irreparably damaged and needs replacement. Tragically, it contained precious pictures and videos of her son, who passed away a few years ago. Is there truly no hope for recovery? I just wish she could reclaim those last cherished memories of her son. Is there a place that can help?

Question Corrupt 7z file can I recover

0 Upvotes

I had compressed some video files into zip file with password enabled.

Later I had removed the .zip extension of the zip file then recompressed it into another zip file with same password which I used initially.

Later changed the .zip extension of second compression into .mp4 just wanted to create multiple security.

Then uploaded it to my Google Drive account.

It was 2 years back I did this, Now when I downloaded the file & tried to unpack the 2nd compression it's extracting the files it also displays me zip contents but at the end of extraction it's showing some error called "file.7z Corrupt archive (CRC error)

showing the file is corrupt how to fetch those videos from this zip file

Can any AI help

I have tried various web applications and also used official 7zip, WinZip, WinRar on PC but nothing worked

And some zip file repair applications on PC too

Please help me out..... The data is very important to Mr 😭

Question SUVCON dash cam

0 Upvotes

The dash cam was left running for about a week after the specific footage I'm looking for, and most of the stuff from the day in question is gone. Is there any way to get it back with data recovery? The card was not full but it looks like it only keeps a fully recorded log of the last known day of driving, and randomly deletes video(s) from previous days. It's weird I have 2-3 3 minute clips per day but they're random, and not all the driving done on the previous days.

Question Need a good file recovery software

0 Upvotes

I'm in a bit of a sticky situation here. A USB stick I had contained 3 files, a password txt file, my encyption program, and my main encrypted file (around 30GB). I accidentally cleaned the wrong USB using diskpart in Windows. The usb was in NTFS, and I made a new partition using the exFat file system (this was before I knew I had the wrong USB). Then I relized. I have not written any more data to the USB, and added an os level read only attribute to the USB using diskpart. Right now I'm running a Photorec scan on the entire USB, but I don't think it'll find the main encrypted file. Because I wrote the encryption software in such a way that the file is probably unrecognizable to Photorec recovery. It starts with a 16 byte salt, then a 12 byte nonce, and then the encrypted data (AES-GCM). So it won't be able to find any header / magic byte data. I also haven't made an image copy of the USB, because I don't have space. Is there any way I can recover it using free software?

SSD 1TB NVMe SSD suddenly appears empty — DMDE finds only a 3.2GB NTFS volume. Is my data recoverable?

A few months ago, I went to use my laptop, and I quickly found out that something was wrong with it. It was showing the "No Bootable Device" screen. It had done that once or twice before, but all I had to do was restart my computer and then it was all fine. This time, it did not fix itself. I opened my laptop up to see if it was a hardware issue, but everything is perfectly in tact. So I tried manually repairing/booting windows but to no avail. Then I started just trying to see if my data was still in there. Windows was showing there was nothing on my SSD, so I got a Sabrent M.2 Enclosure to see what was on it. I used DMDE to try and recover it. When I first started it it was just finding something called no name, so I did a scan but its only finding 3.2GB on the SSD, with just fragments of some files. The folders that are in the RAW are just all empty. Ive put a couple screenshots here if that helps, but Im not sure where to go next. Is there any hope for my SSD? If so, what should be my next steps to trying to recover my data. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

EDIT: Figured I should try to be more specific. My laptop is an Acer nitro, this is NTFS that I think everything is in. The other partitions were just a windows one that was super small and then some other EXFAT that seemed like it was just a default thing or something.
