I just found out that the file I am looking for should be exactly 64bytes big, any ideas on how to specifically search for just that file size with any software?

so how screwed am I with restoring these drives?

its found files but same issue as photorec just shows a massive list oftext files without names or directories, am I using it wrong?

so does that look bad then or?

Couldn't list the files again (see attached)

I downloaded and ran that program you mentioned, problem is, again the file names are lost, so I have 1000s of text files, is there no way to get the file names back or file structure (original folders etc)

can you guide me through this a little clearer so I can follow it and report back with results.
Sadly I do not know the file size, basically it is a keyfile for truecrypt and it was in a folder by itself on the drive that I am trying to fix, so I do not know the contents or file size just its name ...

bump for further help, still need help with this issue, almost giving up at the minute as everything I have tried (with my lack of knowledge) hasnt worked.

I think it may help if I give the specifics of what I am trying to recover.

The only specific file I NEED to recover is a .txt file essentially the issue is using photorec I recover all the .txt files and there is 16,000 of them and they don't retain the names.

Two solutions would help avoid this ...

any updated advice on this please?

error message on both, file system seems corrupt.
