Undeleting files on NTFS and FAT from a Formatted RAID Array or Hard Drive

Posted on June 3, 2012 by Percy Kwong

It’s happened to all of us every once in a while.  We find ourselves in the situation where we accidently deleted a file.  (Yes, it happens to me too! lol).  Everyone claims to have an undelete program that actually works, but they all vary in their ability to recover a file intact. This is why…

The White House on Tuesday said in a statement that it “does not object” to extending the three Patriot Act provisions until December 2011 although it “would strongly prefer” an extension until December 2013, noting that the longer timeline “provides the necessary certainty and predictability” that law enforcement agencies require while at the same time…
