Complete Format Recover

Just a quick question...

If I hit stop during a complete format recovery, it will give me the file structure of the first partition found.

If I let it complete, it gives me the file structure of the last partition found.

What if I want the structure of ALL of the partitions found?

The drive used to have four partitions and has been repartitioned and formatted since.

The program is finding 6 partitions, but as I said only displays the contents of 1 of them. As I'm not sure which partition the data I am looking for was on, it would be better if I could look at all of them at the same time.

Hi,

The results that you describe sound odd.

In Folder View, after a Complete Format Recover, you should see each partition listed separately.

Guess I'll try it again. I'll let you know in 5-6 hours. :\

It's definitely still only giving me the one partition. During the search it reports 6 found, but after completion it only shows the 1.

I'm not sure why this is happening.

Probably the best thing I can suggest is that in OPTIONS > ADVANCED you use the "prompt for start cluster" option. Using this you can stop and then restart the start the search at any location on the disk. This should enable you to recover individual partitions.

We plan to release Recover My Files version 4 soon, which has a new and better method for recovering partitions.
