It all depends upon the state of the drive prior and following re-installation. How large was it? What has he done with it since? Did they "defrag" the disk after re-installation, etc.? https://www.ontrack.com/services/data-recovery/eden-prairie/ Consider that windows dynamically allocates swap from available free space on the drive, you might only find random crap rather than meaningful data. I honestly believe it's a lost cause, and that the money that you might spend with Ontrack would be thrown away with few if any results. Hopefully, your friend made good backups. -- Chad Walstrom <[email protected]> Blog: https://runswithd6s.gitlab.io/ Twitter: @runswithd6s Keybase: https://keybase.io/runswithd6s _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota [email protected] http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
