cyclical and read error - recovering directory structure
Posted: 25 Feb 2014, 17:47
Evening all,
This is probably a common query as I have found a couple of responses but the solutions given I can't do as my drive is suffering from cyclical i/o error so i cant run testdisk or other programs without the drive crashing windows environment.
Currently I am able to recover files through photorec which I must thank you for, this is a fantastic program.
Is it possible to recover directory structures using just photorec. I am recovering around 300gb of data and currently at 400,000 files and about 10% of the way through..most files I will be deleting though.
Or has anyone had success with crc read/write error harddrives and keeping directory structures.
a greatful newbee
