Hi all,
I am a complete novice with computers. Am in the process of desperately trying to recover my photos from my dying HDD.
I am running photoRec and it has done a scan but is now asking about the block size?
Where it says please select block size, which should I select from the folowing?
512
1024
2048
4096
8192
16384
32768
65536
I am only after jpeg photos from he HDD if this matters.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: Block size?
If you are novice, why have you enable the expert mode ? 
Use the default blocksize or 512 if you have done the mistake of reformating the partition.
