...
I forgot to add that after the 4 or 5 day search, I realized that I didn't have the latest version of rmf, so I did update it right after the search, losing all the files it did find.
I have just started a new full format recover search, and left most of the default files checked in the options.
I added wave files, and it already found some that I could preview, so it seems that there are readable files there.
Also there is a box that says recovered partition 1 beside it under the search results. This didn't come up last time.
The drive contains mainly video and music files, so I don't know if I should be searching just for those. I was hoping that it recovered the lost partition or whatever, and I didn't have to search for those separately, because I have read that it takes longer to do it that way.
I hope that with the update, it doesn't take 4 days again, to complete the search, but it may have only done that because it was an older version. I don't even think that it showed the os items found option on the search results in the older version, so I am hoping that this rebuilds the file system or whatever it does.
I bought this drive about 4 months ago from future shop, and it is still under warranty, so I was told to bring it in there and they might replace it, but I want to see what this program does first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
