Default Data Recovery

The Fast Format Recover wont show you any files until the end, where it will try and rebuild the file system in "Folder View" and show you your full file and folder structure.

When you run the Complete Format Recover - it first looks for files by their unique header and footer - it will default to 1mb in size which is why you get the 1mb "recovered" files showing in File View of the results screen. This should not effect the end results, the program will try and rebuild the file system and show you full file and folder structure with full file sizes in Folder View at the end of the search.

Your situation is a little complicated - because you have 3 partitions and music and movie files are large (and usually fragmented).

If you don't get good results with the above searches then I suggest you click on MANUALLY SET OPTIONS and then in the SEARCH tab make the "search for lost files" default file size bigger than your biggest lost file, then click OK and search the drive letter.

Good luck.
