MFTXXXXX Lost Files--How to analyze and recover?
Hi Graham,
I had posted this on my original forum thread, but it is probably getting lost plus it is more specific, so I am re-posting it here.
A local computer store recovered my files using "Recover My Files" software. Quite impressive. They used the "MFT" scan approach.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can I assume that, if the folders and files were "recovered" and show with correct file name, that those folders/files are "intact" and NOT corrupted? The entire Netscape 7.2 file path was recovered....but I don't know if all the sub-files are corrupted or not?
2. All of the 271 "Lost Files" had the File Name format of "MFT XXXXX", where the X's are numbers. Is there a way to determine what these original files were so that I can re-constitute these files with the correct file extension and maybe salvage those 271 files?
Thanks.
