Sounds like you have formatted it aswell. You'll need to recover your files to another drive and reinstall Windows. Personally I've always used GetDataBack but there other options out there. Source: about 1 year ago
Was the file on your desktop, or the shortcut? In any case, OP, I have never had much luck with Recuva. Both EaseUS Data Recovery and GetDataBack have had much higher rates of recovery for me. Maybe you just are not using the best software for the job. I hope these alternatives help. Source: about 1 year ago
If you just want to make a simple backup, you can create an image file of your CDs and upload them to somewhere like the Internet Archive to preserve their content. There are various software capable of creating image files, including InfraRecorder and WinCDEmu. Here's a simple guide on how to create an ISO image file from a CD or DVD. Source: 11 months ago
Despite what the page says, the file in question is actually a .img file, which won't be accepted by most programs out of the box. To convert it into a more usable .iso format, I would recommend using WinCDEmu for Windows, but other CD-related tools should be able to do the job as well. I don't know of any solutions for MacOS or Linux; comments for those platforms would be appreciated! Source: 12 months ago
What? oh. I used this version from the wayback machine, and then opened the iso with THIS handy dandy and quite small tool! I do that with a lot of games actually,. Source: 12 months ago
Use WinCDEmu to mount the ISO, not the built-in Windows "Mount" command. Source: 12 months ago
I downloaded Preinstalled ZIP folder (2.26GB) and used WinCDEmu (an open-source CD/DVD/BD emulator) to mount the file. This is because the games were originally released on CDs or DVDs. ISOs and ROMs are basically electronic versions of the original game discs. OGD has a guide on all of this. Source: about 1 year ago
