Re: Recover zero length files

Would appreciate help with the above question... also, why testdisk is not showing any error when I copy these files... ie. the files show a valid size in the NTFS record displayed in testdisk... but the copy results in a zero length file on the destination drive, and testdisk says 1 file copied ...

Re: Recover zero length files

Is there any way in testdisk to view the NTFS record info when you have a file list on screen? This drive was an archive drive, so all files were written sequentially... if I could just get the NTFS entries for a zero length file, I could then try yo piece together the sequence of clusters involved ...

Re: Recover zero length files

Thank you. I am actually in the process of doing that now. I have an identical sized drive. I have had it running the last 10 hours making an image file on the new drive (with log)... but I am wondering if it will fail at the end because it will be a few sectors short... do I need to be doing a full ...

Re: Recover zero length files

Sorry, I did not know what WIP meant. I just tries it with the latest WIP (8/20) build and it is still writing the new file with zero length. Is there any way for me to see more details about the NTFS file entry?

The log file stops showing entries after the Quick search for the file system... the ...

Re: Recover zero length files

I'd really appreciate anyone's feedback here. When testdisk copies a zero length file, even though the file list shows the file size, does that indicate that the data NTFS record is gone or is it there but the file clusters in the bitmap file have been reused? What condition will cause testdisk to ...

Re: Recover zero length files

Any idea what condition cause testdisk to do this? And is there a way for me to look at the values in the file system entry? ie. starting cluster, size of file, mod dates, delete status, etc. then follow the cluster string? It appers that photorec only does a full disk scan to find files? or does it ...

Recover zero length files

Using testdisk, I have been able to find the file system on a 3TB drive. And have been able to copy almost 90% of teh files I needed to recover... some files, however, show the correct size in testdisk, but once copied to a new volume, the length is zero. The copy operation shows 0 error count, and ...
