Corrupted MFT

[pclab]

Hi

I have this case from a external HDD (a 1TB Samsung) that developed alot of bad sectors and corrupted the MFT.

I have imaged the drive with DDI, but when trying to select the partition with it, it said that the MFT is corrupted.

After, when I plug the HD to my PC to check the files with R-studio, I can only see a partition of 116GB ans can also see the file tree.
But there are alot of files/folders missing (the disk was full).

Any idea how to repair the partition to full space of the disk?
Or a Raw recovery is the only way?

Thanks

Because the MFT is incomplete, you will have to do a full scan with R-Studio, GetDataBack NTFS or another file system recovery program. You are not likely to get the system recovered to its original state, but you should be able to recover most of the data off that drive.

Already getting the files out, with the right names/tree.

which program you use to watch the files and recover them?
