yes the client told me that a folder should have 400gb off data but i just can found 37gb.

And when i edit the sector i see that like i show in the picture, and normally it should have a 00.

I agree, someone ran a test on the drive where it writes to sectors, and then checks to make sure that the sectors that where written correctly.


Someone has tampered with this drive before it came into your hands.

Thanks to all,

I could get the most important data off the client 80% off the current work that he was doing.

Case closed, one more happy client :)
