I had an unfortunate mishap the other night on my XP machine, and
accidentally overwrote some important files (mostly .txt, .doc, and
..xls files) on my 64mb USB Thumb Drive. My attempts at file recovery
(RecoverNT, Search and Recover, File Rescue Plus, Active Undelete,
eImage, PC Inspector Smart Recovery, etc) have, at best, correctly
identified the overwritten file names, but recovered garbage. While
I’ve found many freeware flash picture recovery programs, I
haven’t found anything that correctly restores overwritten
non-media files. Does anyone have any suggestion on how best to
proceed, or could recommend recovery programs (ideally freeware) that
work effectively on overwritten files on thumb drives? Thanks!
