I am curious about one thing, if you are fixing a drive lets say 500gb drive, OK you clone or image your drive and now you need to get the data out of it lets say the customer tells you "i have pictures, and documents and movies etc etc... And i don't know how much data i have" what you do??? you just browse the files "users folder if its windows" and check the desktop to see any .jpg, .docx etc etc... and just restore that?

What happens if the customer has 200 folders each with 8 pics in it and they are all scatter on the disk not in the same place?

Any tips would be great

Thanks.

You use something like Restorer/R-Studio and browse every folder one by one, unless the client just wants some specific files...
If you can clone the drive and fix the file alocation table you can give the clone to the client on an external usb box and let him decide what he wants, as long as it's accessible to the client, just give him all that you can recover and let him decide what he needs.
