file recover after Teracopy move

Post by *nolhta4 »

hello,
in the last days i have used both Teracopy and TotalCommander to transfer a large amount of files from an internal HDD to a NAS, in each case with the move command.
Due to the heavy duty the NAS drive is crashed so i need to recover files from the origin: folders moved with totalcommand have been recovered, but the others threated with Teracopy are marked as damaged; i have tried with PCInspector, R-Studio, ActiveRecovery and PhotoRec, with similar results.
The HDD drive, with a FAT32 fily system, is connected directed to the onboard sata controller, and pc is running Windows 7 64bit.
thanks in advance for every suggestion

Try the free PC inspector, it can assemble partial files by looking at the contents:

thank you Ghisler, but i have already tried with it (and also others listed previously): with all of them folders that i need are disappeared, only with photorec are visible but trying to recover i got the error 'file system damaged'; after move operations the hdd is remained untouched, no one file has been wrote on it, so no one byte could be overwritten

HolgerK,
Unfortunately Recuva does not work on a damaged file system.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Unlike Windows, Recuva scans all parts of a drive, looking for the bits that make up your files. If a drive's index has been damaged, chances are other parts of the drive may have been damaged too. Recuva will show you a list of files it has found on the drive, and give you an estimate of the likelihood of success of recovering them.

Similarly, when you format a drive (especially if you use the Quick Format option), Windows erases the hidden index but does not overwrite the existing files until you start saving new data to it. Recuva can still scan the drive's contents to find your files.
Sure?

HolgerK,
Yes, sure. A card reader made an SD card with photos unreadable, Windows could not access it and suggested to format it. PhotoRec managed to recover the files somehow, Recuva did not even show the drive letter or if it did, it did not manage to find any files at all (don't remember exactly anymore but I know I was quite disappointed with it).
I have tried many recovery programs that night :D PhotoRec fared best.
