![]() ![]() ![]() there werent many files that it "found" (as in ones already deleted) but it found the music folder that had gone missing in a subfolder.Īfter recovering i now only have 100gb free on the second drive (a 5tb HDD too) where as the original drive only has about 5gb free so either some files dont seem possible to find or the drive was so fragmented that it had wasted that extra 95gb in storing files inefficiently, or something else expains it. Well the result so far is that i did a full scan of the drive, opened a reconstructed version of thje disk up in dmde and recovered as much as possible off the drive. It may happen that it succeeds to rebuild the filesystem correctly (and thus you have all or most of the data back on the original disk) or it may not. Once you have recovered every file you can you can try running on the "original" disk drive a set of three runs of CHKDSK (running on a suitable Windows NT operating system, let's say Windows 7), please FORGET what you may have read elsewhere, run CHKDSK (and NOT any other program) in three runs (and EXACTLY as suggested): what you see in DMDE is accessible only from DMDE. Rest assured that (unless a write error occurs - but due for other reasons) what DMDE "reads" and "extracts" is exactly the same as what you will find on the "target" once the extraction has been carried on.ĭMDE doesn't really "reconstruct" the filesystem (in the sense that it doesn't "repair" it, it operates a "virtual reconstruction", i.e. quite "generous") and "recover to" the "target". ![]() The generic idea is to have a "spare drive" freshly partitoned/formatted (and visible/mounted/accessible in windows) as "target", then with DMDE right click on the files/folders that it found and "recover object" (I believe that there are some limitations in the freeware version on number of files selected or similar, but it is if I recall correctly 4000 files per folder or something like that i.e. Well, normally you verify a file by hashing (checksumming it) and comparing the result with the original checksum, but here you don' t have an "original checksum" to compare with.īut I am not sure about what you are asking (or what you are actually doing).Īnd no, metadata won't be of use in a file recovery like this one, let alone the $MFT. ![]()
