A:AnswerNo you can't recover files once you've overwritten them .. that is why you do backups... another way to save PRECIOUS files us to email them back to yourself ... that way the file is ALWAYS in your Inbox.. an alternative to backups is file/folder syncibg .. where you sync folders on your system drive to an external drive . Be it a high dapacity memory stick, 2TB SSD, 2,3,4 5 TB Passport drive ... i bought a 14TB drive from BestBuy .. all the stirage i will EVER Bmnee
A:AnswerI'll explain what happened to me and maybe that might help.
I spilled water on my laptop. My local Geek Squad sent my laptop out to their main computer repair in Kentucky for repairs. After 30 days they couldn't fix it and sent it back with the two hard drives removed. All I had to pay then was shipping.
I don't know what information was on either hard drive but retrieving the data on largest of the hard drive was free because I had Total Tech Support. I had to supply an external hard drive for them to transfer the data to and when the hard drive came back the local Geek Squad transferred the data into my new laptop.
I hope this sheds some light on your predictament.
