Thank u for your reply.I did run a search on the Physical 250 gig hdd with default files selected and am getting the same result.
Also when in progress i get absolutely no files in File type or folder view.
When the search is complete,the files recovered are of only 300mb size and have odd extensions such as .mft. and .tmp and cannot be previewed.
I even tried adding a few filetypes like .mp3,.rar,etc still no result.Do you think diskpart formatted the data in such a way that it can't be recovered.
