file recovers has 0 size

#1 Post by trenon »

Hey,
I am trying to recover a true crypt file thats about 4gb in size. Testdisk can see how big the file is but when i go to recover it, it saves a 0 byte file. Any idea how to get past this? Also I do no seem to be able to fix the MBR by following the steps on the site. I must be doing something wrong.

I should note I've been able to recover every other file on the USB.

If you are trying to copy a file over 2 Go using TestDisk, be carefull to select a destination filesystem that is not FAT. NTFS should be ok.
