BlackST, I may not be a HDD Guru, but by no means am I messing around in uncharted waters. It's what I do for a living. I can do trail and error. I just thought that there might be some way to reverse this effect on HDD's. I'm looking at the data right now via R-Stlye. I just haven't decided to purchase yet, for full recovery features. I guess my main interest is not so much a solution as it is an answer. You recieve the message saying the drive is full. At this time you can still see and access the data. If I delete some files, there is no problem on reboot. If I leave it as is and reboot, the drive comes up RAW. This has to be some type of write issue. Or, drive info issue. It's being recorded or reported wrong. Please, may I have your opinion on this theory?

msurgeon, Does this sound like a logical problem to you? I'm copying files to my HDD. I receive the message the drive is full. At this time, I can still see and access the data. If I delete some files, and reboot, everything is fine. If I don't delete the files and reboot, the drive comes up as "RAW". It seems to me that it's a write problem. The updated drive information or tables can't be written to the drive. But, I would think that an allowance would be made for this purpose under any circumstances. Anyway, thanks for the info. I'm looking at the data right now via R-Studio. I have not purchased the license for full use yet. Any tips on how to get the most out of R-Studio? I've never used it before.

... Read the manual / use the help function. Or ask the manufacturer. It's a software, nothing more nothing less.

BlackST, And, I was really starting to believe that you really knew whawt you were talking about. But, it's like they say, "Those that know, answer. Those that don't, say read".

Mr CaminoGold, we are here to help you with the most basic aspects of data recovery. You have to understand that the professionals on this website will not hold your hand and teach you how to walk. Most of us do this for a living and have very little patience with people who are way over there head. BlackST's advice is pretty much what most professionals are going to tell you. How you proceed with the given information is completely up to you. I doubt anyone will want to help you now with your smartass remark.

Are you jealous mr. Gold? Or are you thinking this place is a call center? Or we all are on r-studio or drive mfg. Payroll? And, last, it's you that don't know and... IS reading . Do you work? You get paid for your time, so we. If I don't move my ass and put brain at work I don't get anything but expenses. If you BUY r-studio you get a full documentation, but at least you have to read and understand. Thread closed ?

Seems like you have found some uncharted water

And the water is not clean, too.

Thank you, very much for all your wisdom. But, Like I said before, I just needed to find someone that actually "KNEW" what they were talking about. I'm happy to say, it "WAS" that simple. I got my drive back last weekend. With the exception of a few currupted files, which I believe were already currpted, I got it all back. So, if you all are professionals, I suggest you act like it. I'm a real IT guy. That's what I get paid to do. I work for the second largest IT company in the world. I'm not being a smartass, like I said, I knew I wasn't in over my head. You guys just didn't know that. Thanks for the attemps at helping out. I really do appreciate it. "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!" to all...

Another greatfull person.

Come on guys! We have to improve our support!

Lets them use our equipment, facilities and guidance from us.
Anyone would love to support that idea?

I/We don't know where from you r ... But we identified your knowledge about DR by your post. Your DR knowledge like a newbie - who ask questions which software is better...

Just look the posts about Real professionals, they will never say a specific software is good. They will say about the features n functionality of the software. More than thousands of softwares exist which u will find by googling. Real Professionals know what Data Recovery Is. but you dont know, you r doing just n expecting NEXT > NEXT > SEARCH > FINISH Job. But real professionals r not bound there only. Thats why you will see "DATA RECOVERY IS EXPENSIVE"

Data Recovery is a dynamic profession. Not finished like NEXT > NEXT > FINISH JOB - You expect.

I doubt you r a real IT Professional. Never a IT professional Happy with a Next > Next > Finish Job. They go to the deep, research, pass over night without sleeping, discover customize techniques.

After 99% successful IMAGE, Real Professionals will recover all of the datas on 99% image. and also, the real will image the rest 1% also.

Not expressable with few lines. That's all
