I Photorec retrieves only the same file

#1 Post by MetalRex »

Hi all, while I apologize for my English because I'm Italian and I hope to make me understand as much as possible , I downloaded Photorec to recover files from an external hard drive with file system I danneggiato.Il software retrieves only the same files and not others servono.Ho instead I tried to scan the entire partition with the option whole , but without successo.Come can I fix it ? Thank you to everyone that I will respond.

Do you mean that PhotoRec recover the same file over and over, or that PhotoRec doesn't recover any of your lost files ?
