Here's what happened, over the weekend one of my partition got corrupted. And at that time I was able to somehow get all the data I need from the partition before I repartition and reformat that drive. However yesterday this newly partition drive got corrupted again.
So today I get a new drive, partition and format it only to discover that somehow some of the data I have stored on the other drive in the system has well fanished.
The data is stored in a FAT 32 partition (136 GB in size), and there are total around 80 GB of data, and Windows is reporting that 80 GB is occupied in the drive. However only about 30 GB of the data is currently visible, the other 50 GB are missing. I don't really want to turn to Window's scandisk fearing that it might damage the data more than saving it.
So can someone suggest a good data recovery program that I can run to try save these files? Some I have extra backup but most I don't, so if I can retrieve them at least just so that I can copy them onto the new drive it would be great.
So far I'm trying R-Studio Demo edition and it is currently scanning the drive, so I'm not sure how well it will do. Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
