Reinstalled windows on my file server today. And it wanted to do a check on one of my storage drives (at windows boot) I let it do this and it kept saying 'deleting an index entry from index $0 of file 25' Over and over. I have no idea how long it did this for but its atleast 2 mins Now when I came back and its in windows im missing around 1/2 my data. To say this is a 1tb WD GP drive its near enough 400gb loss! Now I have the majority of it backed up But there is some software that someone custom made for me ages ago on there which I really could do with recovering. Is there any software that can search the drive contents to find files stored on there and recover them? I looked in the (hidden system folder) folder.000 for the data and found around 4.5gb's worth and its not there. Any help would be appreciated
Someone on another forum accidentally deleted all his partitions on a 500GB disk, and he tried every possible recovery app and only EasyRecovery worked. I don't know about the program myself, it might be non-free and I don't know if it will help in your case.
I had luck with ZAR8.3 (zero assumption recovery) when I screwed up my raid. Not sure if it will help in your situation, but they have a free trial (limited to 4 folders recovered) http://www.z-a-recovery.com/
