Hello, I sent my laptop to a family friend for some free hardware repairs, but after discovering that my computer was highly infected with viruses the technician decided to save my data on an external hard drive and then do a reinstall/repartitioning of windows. I haven't installed anything on my laptop since getting it back, but have run testdisk, AOMEI partition assistant, and photorec from my external hard drive in an attempt to recover about 30 Gb of hidden and encrypted data that was housed in my Yo-Safe. I don't think the data would have been overwritten, but I haven't been able to locate it yet. I also tried to run G-parted by mounting it on my external hard drive, but I couldn't even figure out how to execute that program (stupid linux learning curve). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I contacted Egis and they weren't able to help me because I can't locate my.vmdf file.

Does anyone know of a recovery program that has parameters allowing you to specify a search for this file type? The.vmdf file is typically saved in the drive specified by the user during setup in a folder labeled 'MyWinLockerData'.

The file is hidden and encrypted, although a shortcut can be made if it is saved using the default settings during setup using the name 'MWL_PSD_drive.vmdf'. I.e.: 'X: MyWinLockerData MWL_PSD_drive.vmdf'. I haven't been able to open or mount the file, but I thought this might help if you wanted to try contacting EgisTec again. I may end up doing the same thing myself.
