Hi Glen,

Files in "File View" and "Folder View" are found using different search techniques.

Files in "Folder view" are found using the old partition records (MFT records). Each file on a PC has an MFT record which tells the computer the name of the file and the location of the file on the hard disk. Because you have had a problem with partition magic, the partition records are screwed around and the records are no longer pointing to the correct location.

The files in "File View" are found by looking for the header and footer of the file. Because the file name is only stored in the MFT record, these files do not have their original name and will be called "Recovered_JPEG_X".

There is no easy solution to your problem - the best rule to apply is that if you can preview the file it can be recovered - if not, it cannot. You will need to run both a "Complete Format Recover" and a "Complete File Search" to find and save what you can.

I hope this helps.
