Cluster File Recovery

[_vEx]

Hey guys,

I have a 1TB WD external hard drive, with about 800gb of data on one partition. With GParted I performed a partition move on it to the beginning of the disk. The first phase took 8 hours, then it went to another phase which had an ETA of 12 hours, but because of a power out it didn't finish.

After i started my computer the partition was gone, though it recognized that an external hard drive was connected. With a program called MiniTool partition Wizard I ran a file system check to "Check and fix detected errors". It started recovering some files, though very slowly. I let it ran for 4 days non-stop until I had another power-out .

When I ran the check again it showed that everything seems normal, although when i tried to open the .JPG files on it, they showed no information, i couldn't view them, though they seemed to have normal size. I checked it again with PC Inspector File Recovery and it showed tons of lost cluster files, but i have no idea how to place them back to their original location. I really need that data, at least the pictures. Is there any way i can recover my files?

TLDR: damaged partition, lots of cluster files appearing in PC Inspector, no idea how to recover them.

Thanks in advance.
