Where did it go?

[Deezul]

Had a 200server crash during a program update and the priv.edb and public.edb files are now gone. It is CRITICAL I get them back. I tried trial versions of a bunch of software inluding Ontrack etc and nothing could even see the files were there! I need a real good ecovery solution to get these files back as most ordinary recovery software isn't even seeing them. I mean if they aren't on the disk where could they have gone? Any help is appreciated.

Keep in mind that experimentation on your part may reduce the ability of a recovery firm to get data back later.

Listings below are either things I've seen mentioned in various threads here or have found in google searches on data recovery. I cannot give you any info about any of them based on personal experience.
