Flash drive recovery software

[ChugNorris]

So, my missus has managed to wipe a flash drive at work containing an important software program. My first thought is if it is that important her company shouldn't keep the only copy of it on a flash drive, however I believe she doesn't want to admit to this fact as she's recently got a promotion and everythings been going pretty well. I personally think they will have a backup of it somewhere and it won't be an issue, however I've promised to try and recover the drive first so that she doesn't have to admit to the SNAFU. Does anyone have any recommendations on what program to use? I've not had to attempt this for years as I always back things up. I believe she's not done anything with the drive since deleting the data so hopefully it'll be recoverable! P.S. I'm on Windows 7 HP 64-Bit if that makes a difference, not made the jump to 10 yet.

get data, recover my files professional is the one I use

I have used this before at work to recover a lot of data on a HDD that has failed

I have trusted you a link to try

Cheers for that, will give it a try.

getdataback is a great program.

Restore to another drive, not back to the same one, or you risk overwriting the data.

So, I've tried two programs now, and whilst it has seemingly recovered the drive layout, all files are with a .fti extension, something which appears to be a nes/famicom music extension pretty stumped to be honest.

recvua?

set to recover all files, and set to place them someone on a different drive, do a deep scan, and tick every recovery box

That's the other one I tried, same result. Looks like it goosed unfortunately.

Plot twist, turns out the fti files look familiar so might be ok after all! Cheers all for your help.
