partition recovery

May 3rd, 2010, 18:06

hi everyone,

because of my mistake i make fsck on mounted disk at linux machine. this disk was formatted with NTFS. I have 420 GB important data on 500 GB NTFS disk.

After then I make quick format to my disk with "CompuApps SwissKnife" software.

I tried to recover my data with several data recover softwares. All of the softwares can find my old disk name as "data 500". But they can't find any data in my NTFS disk. In deep scan softwares can find some data. But this data don't usefull for me. Because data recover softwares split my data to several folders like jpeg, php, doc.

I try to find my data with "partion find and mount 2.31" software with 3 scanning method but I coulnd't find any file.

Lots of my data files are php files, so their folder hierarchy and filenames is important for me. I think my problem is in the file allocation table and I don't know how can I fix the file allocation table.

So I want to know if there is a data recovery software to fix my problem.

If it has been formated even quick format you will need to do raw recovery now. This means you get to rename all your files and only get them back such as 010102.doc or somethig like this. This is the new name for your file and you will have to rename it as you wish. This can be done using Rstudio to find your data and get it back for you. Do not expect the normal windows tree on this one and you will find your data in files folders by type. Good luck.
