Re: multiple repeated files

I hesitated to ever come back here after all the uproar informing me TestDisk did not create folders with names like recup_dir.xxx when that was exactly what happened. I'm going to try to upload some screenshots of what PhotoRec did, etc., then get out of here before I get in trouble again. I can't ...

Re: multiple repeated files

WOW! I've been accused of lying, pretending to run TestDisk, not documenting, trying to troll you. I've never been treated like this on a board. All I know is that I got the folders I described. I didn't run any other program. Whatever WAS running, it did recover files in the other folders with that ...

Re: multiple repeated files

I don't know if posting the link to another website is allowed or not. If so, I apologize. But I can assure you i am not lying! I detailed the results I got and named the folders according to what TestDisk gave me, something like 433- 434 folders with the same 3 basic images repeated in all those ...

Re: multiple repeated files

I'm not too lazy to respond. It's just that I don't know how to navigate this board properly. I've read the documentation. And I followed the directions from the site I mentioned and ran Testdisk. I also deleted the folders with the repeated files. Right now I'd like to try PhotoRec but am wondering ...

multiple repeated files

I have an Iomega hard drive with the Lock feature. Unlocking it makes the drive visible. It unlocks but is no longer visible to File Explorer and states the drive needs to be formatted. Disk Management 'sees' it, but shows no data on it. I did try the chkdsk /f H: in the Command box, but get a reply ...

Re: Problems with an external hard drive - Solutions for a newbie

No answer to my question- if I DO use PhotoRec, will I still get all those folders labeled recup_dir.x ??

Re: Problems with an external hard drive - Solutions for a newbie

There's some confusion here- I haven't posted any pictures yet because I did not know how. I used TestDisk that first time. I followed the directions on this site: https://www.handyrecovery.com/testdisk-review/. That's how I know I used TestDisk first.

The pics posted here were posted by the guy ...

inaccessible Iomega LOCK type hard drive

I originally posted a note in a 'reply' to the one on "Problems with an external hard drive, but it has vanished, so I'm going to try it this way.
