Large but corrupted files recovered
Posted: 30 May 2012, 08:27
Hi all,
I didn't see any post about the same problem I encountered so I finally decided to post here :
I recently had to run PhotoRec (6.14) on a damaged HD (it won't even mount) it took quite a long time to scan the whole disk but I finally recovered a lot of files. My problem is that some of these files are huge (90Go for the biggest) and seem to be fusions of smaller files (for example in a 3 Go .mpg file I have several videos concatenated).
So is there a way to repair these files ? or did I miss an option in PhotoRec that would have prevented this ? or is my HD simply too damaged and lost beyond any hope of recovery ?
Thanks in advance
