Trying to recover 0kb files
Posted: 10 Sep 2017, 14:11
I have a 3TB WD Passport Drive. Yesterday I plugged it in and Disk Management showed it as unallocated.
So I ran testdisk to rebuild the BS. It did. But the weird thing was that the drive still showed as unallocated.
Then (probably stupidly), I ran chkdsk /f on it. All of my files and folders appear, but probably 50% of them show as 0KB.
But now, Disk Management shows one partition of 2048GB and another at 1677.99GB that is unallocated.
My drive initially had about 800GB left of free space.
Question is... is there anything I can do to get these files back, or am I just hosed?
