Hi everyone. i have a WD 2TB which suddenly changed from NTFS to FAT16 file system.
there is about 700gb of data. i made a file recovery with atola but i got half of the data corrupted for some reason.

Probably the partition is corrupted. Have you tried R-Studio?

How does half the data being corrupted equate to a full recovery?
