when using testdisk to undelete my files, it only lets me recover these files one by one... even when i have selected all of the files and chose a destination. its alot of files so sitring there doing it one by one would take days. any ideas on how to help me?

To recover everything, select the directory itself instead of individual files inside this directory.
If undeleting from NTFS, you can use 'f' to add a filter (ie. part of the directory name) and 'a' to select everything, 'C' to copy what you have selected. The key 'r' reset all the filters. It's possible to add several filters by applying successive filters.

The keys are case-sensitive:
- C to copy the selected files
- c to copy the current file
