Hi.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution, but I thought it was worth mentioning that I have the same problem.
The full scan detected many MFT partitions. I selected one that looked correct (similar HDD size in GB and same date that disk was formatted) and it rebuilt all my directories and file names but 99% of the actual files are corrupt.
It looks like most of the file was recovered, then it was corrupted at the end - This obviously means I cannot preview the files....but if I preview a .txt. file I find most of it in tact, then at the end it is just random characters.
Makes me think when the pieces of the file were joined up, the last few parts were wrong/corrupt/overwritten (couldn't be overwritten because I haven't written to the disk at all). Thus 99% of the files are corrupt, but 95% of all the corrupt files are actually OK....just the end is wrong, but it corrupts the whole file.
Maybe I have the "phantom" partition problem -
so how do I know which MFT partitions to choose out of the massive list?
If I do a recovery using raw recovery I get the same problem as in post
Bad Sectors and Missing MFT on NTFS
It detects multiples of the same file sizes, but only very few different files. eg. I had say 5,000 large jpgs - it finds 70,000 jpgs but maybe 1000 of each size (so only 70 different jpgs). Most are corrupt, but a few work....I may have recovered 20 out of 5000 jpgs!!
p.s.
Thanks for the tip about not having to let the MFT partition building part of the scan run until it has completed. I didn't know you could stop it and it would still build based on what data it had found....a good tool for testing since I have so many MFT partitions. Plus one of my partitions made my PC run out of RAM and the program crashed after 10 hours of scanning - I can now partially scan that MFT partition then stop it and see what result I get.
