SSD Data Recovery

[Over Carl]

Long story but I've got an ssd, can see the reserved partition but windows says i need to format the main one and wont show any contents.

Win7 wanted to run chkdsk but I was worried to - I have one cruicial excel spreadsheet on it I can not afford to loose.

Should I do a sector by sector image before trying getdataback for ntfs or does it being an ssd complicate anything?

Download a data recovery program!

Started my pc up and walked away forgetting it would run chkdsk - same story. Rebooted and it wanted to run it again - thought nothing left to loose - this time it's fixed it and my data is back.

Takes the piss getting a scare like that weeks before I build a proper fileserver for backups, etc.

I wondered to myself a while back if such recovery was possible. Loads of places offer the service, not sure what is required to retrieve the data though.
