Alright here is my problem:

I moved files from comp A to comp B
I formatted comp b so I lost all my data, can I still retrieve it from
comp A where I only moved the files? I did some research myself but I
found alot of options, if anyone knows a good program for this please
let me know.

This all happend in the same day

Thanks in advance.

To get the best result don't do anything on comp A until you get a recovery
utility recommendation that will work for you - any activity on comp A could
overwrite parts or all of the deleted files... and become unrecoverable, I'm
sure someone with more knowledge will be along soon to advise you on actual
tools/procedure - but don't use comp A

Your chances to recover data off A or B depend upon what you already did
after moving or formatting: the less you did the better they are.
I would go with the "formatted" computer first, and use a 2nd drive to
install a recovery program or/and move the data to.
Do _not_ attempt to install any, not even a recovery program, on the
partition you have data to restore off, and do not boot into windows on
computer A anymore. You need some floppy or liveCD, or a OS installed on a
2nd partition or disk.
Now I would go with http://download.pcinspector.de/pci_filerecovery.exe
first.

If you moved all the files from computer A to computer B. The files should
be on both. If you format the drive on computer A or computer B, the files
should still be on the opposite computer that you did not format the drive.

If the files are not accessible on the opposite computer, then they
obviously either were corrupt, or you never checked that they were there in
the first place.

After transferring files to another computer, it is common sense to verify
that they are actually at the new location, and that they are useable. If
you don't do that, then you are subject to the chance of losing them.

Not quite a "move" (ie cut/paste) is not the same as a "copy" (ie
copy/paste) - but they should still be on comp A in a deleted state.

"Deleting" a file doesn't actually delete it; it just marks the space as
available to be used. There are third-party programs that can sometimes
recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by the file is
likely to become overwritten very quickly, and this makes the file
unrecoverable.

So your chances of successfully recovering this file are decent if you try
recovering it immediately after deleting it, and rapidly go downhill from
there. If you've been using the computer since then (for example to write
this question and read this answer), your chances are probably very poor by
now.

But if the file is important enough, it's worth a try anyway. Stop using the
computer in question immediately, if you haven't done so already. Download
an undelete program (here's one:
http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html but there are several others
to choose from; do a Google search) on a friend's computer and bring it to
yours on a floppy to try.

If this fails, your only other recourse is to take the drive to a
professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very expensive
and may or may not work in your case.

No, he says he "moved" the files. "Move," unlike "copy," implies that the
original is gone. A move is equivalent to a copy plus a delete. If he truly
moved them, they are gone from computer A. They *may* be recoverable (see my
other post oin this thread), but they may not be.

Aren't you contradicting yourself in your two posts? First you
say "delete" doesn't really delete, which most people should
know by now, anyway.

In the next post, you say "moved = copy/delete". You JUST SAID
delete doesn't REALLY delete? Didn't you?

Is this part of MVP training? M$ staff are pretty good at this
kind of thing.

(Just a little humor, don't get personally offended please.)

Not to mention the fact that since the OP does not appear to be
an expert - and even an expert could have accidentally misused
the words - he may well have actually *copied* but used the term
*moved*.

OP:
Check the "first" drive with one of the restoration utilities
Ken mentioned. It's probably all there. (Just for the hell of
it, check the recycle bin first.)
