Can you put a price on data? Let's find out...

Do you run a home-based business? Do you manage your personal finances/taxes on your home computer? Do you keep digital photos on your PC? Do you have a collection of all your favourite music and videos stored digitally? Do you manage your busy schedule and keep all your contact information synchronized with your desktop/notebook?

If you answered yes to ANY of these questions, then the answer to my first question would be 'NO'!

MY answer to ALL questions is 'YES', and about 18 months ago I found out how valuable my data [on my collection of PCs] really is. While formatting my PC to reinstall Windows (unfortunately this has to be done once in a while to recover true system performance), I diligently backed up my entire system to an external hard-drive. Unfortunately, during the process of installing Windows, I deleted all partitions on my drives, including the partition on the external hard-drive that was the temporary safe-guard for my digital life. :( At this point I thought my career was over - but I didn't panic - I figured there must be a way to recover from this. And there was. A quick search from my notebook PC revealed data recovery utilities from EASEUS.

I quickly purchased and downloaded their Partition Table Doctor and Data Recovery Wizard programs - money was no object at this point, but thankfully it was only about $160 CAD for both.

I used the Partition Table Doctor program to recover the deleted partitions, and then used the Data Recovery Wizard program to recover the data on those partitions. I'm sure I spent a few days getting everything back to normal, but without utilities like those provided by EASEUS, I would probably still be recovering - although it would most likely be in the hospital from a coronary! :|
