How to recover files lost during data transfer ?

Guys, I was transferring (cut,paste) files from one of my drives onto a 4 GB pen drive and the kids unintentionally unplugged the system power cord while playing with toycars.. On reboot, Neither could i find half the files on my pen drive nor the Hard Drive where i was transferring from.. Have tried all data recovery tools but nothing worked.. Since i never actually deleted the files, the tools cannot trace them ..

Answer #1
Try data recovery wizard (get it from the apps section)
Do note however that data is only recoverable til replaced
so if you installed/copied/downloaded anything to your HDD/Flash
drive it might not be possible to recover some (or all) of the data.
Answer #2
They would have been in ram while being copied.
when you lost your power you lost your files .
No way back C.O.D power loss.
Its always safer to copy & paste then delete.
Answer #3
You should sit back and take some time out of your shedule and try sifting through your temporary files on your computer, because often times Microsoft Windows 2000+ Will releave the RAM (Random Access Memmory) of your system by storing these files temporarily. Now as far as data loss due to power faluire, Microsoft has the System Restore Function, to Access this function simply click on Start, All Programs, Accesories, System Tools, System Restore. You can recover just about any file that was not formatted

Yes you could try but you would have to backup new files first
as system restore would wipe what was after the restore point.

How to recover missing, lost, or deleted files.
Cause:
Lost files can occur because of any of the below possibilities.
1.File was mistakenly deleted.
2.File was corrupt and deleted by scandisk.
3.Another program deleted the file.
4.File is password protected.
Solution:
Before reviewing the below recommendations and suggestions, verify that the files have actually been deleted; in some cases the files may have simply been moved. You can search the hard disk drive for the files you believe to be missing by running find or search on the computer. Recover file from backup
If the file has been backed up to floppy disk or other medium it is recommended that the file be restored from that backup if the file cannot be found.
Restore from Recycling Bin or Trash
If you are running Apple MacOS, Microsoft Windows 95, NT, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, or later operating system and the file has been recently deleted it is possible that the file may still be in the Trash or Recycle Bin. If present within this area it can be recovered.
