Hi there,

I accidentally erased partitions (3 NTFS) on my external harddrive through mac os x's disk utility. I was trying to format one of the partition to FAT32 using mac but somehow it erased all the partition information. I quickly disconnected the drive and did not do anything else afterwards.

I downloaded recovermyfiles and ran fastformatrecover. The software sees all my data. But I have a little issue with some of the files that were named in Japanese or Thai. I can't save those files to another location. Part of the file name contains ??? which I think is the reason why I can't save them.

Is there a walk around for this? Will changing regional and language option in windows xp help? It's now set to US english.

Or is it possible to recover the partition information and all files without transferring them to another harddrive?

Please advice. All 8 years of my data is in there.

Thanks so much,
Witit
