I used the Completed scan before your message was posted, so I can not comment upon the quick scan. Using the Complete scan:

All necessary files were recovered! *phew my gf wont kill me...

Most files close to the first partions ie C: (which windows is installed upon) were corrupted. I don't know if this is because I was using the drive I was trying to recover files from, or because windows uses virtual memory. I may have had better recovery if I installed another HDD and then recovered files the drive as a slave.

Fortunately the files I wanted were on the last partition. I had already collated all the files into 1 file named "Keep".

All file directory structures were saved
All file names were saved

I have not yet checked every file for integrity, but the spot check looked good... not one bad file found.

One thing I might mention besides thank you! Is a more detailed explanation of what is possible with this software when a format and windows install has been performed. You may already have this but in my madness I couldn't find it.

Thanks for saving the day!
And for a competitive price too!.... do I sound like you paid me to say this?
Lol. I know if you send your hdd to places that spe******e in data recovery they really charge the earth. I know what to do next time, and will be reccomending this software to everyone I know with the same problem.

Thanks again for the great software and the fast response on the forum.
