How to save a ntfs partition which suddenly became empty @NicoleHamilton: So Windows has extended the maximum length of paths. But there is still limitation. How about Linux (Ubuntu)? I upvoted your answer in another post, but wasn't able to comment due to my low reputation. |

How to save a ntfs partition which suddenly became empty @Synetech: I haven't written anything to the partition, unless Windows did. I also made an image of the partition as soon as I could. Then I ran RStudio on the mounted image. That probably explains why I am able to get most of my files back. (1) What was RStudio bad in your case? (2) I heard there were some professional services www.krollontrack.com, and www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com with relatively good reputation. But they charge high > $1000. Can they possibly have their own not-revealed secretes that will do better job than those programs we have tried? Or just rip off our money? |

Ways to improve completeness of files for data recovery and scanning? Thanks! Most of my files on that ntfs partition were created under Ubuntu. If I remember correctly, defragmentation isn't necessary under Linux, isn't it? |

Time adjusted 4 hours in advance by unknown reason Thanks! So UTC time and local time are different, but the times under both OSes are both 4 hours in advance? |

Ways to improve completeness of files for data recovery and scanning? Just to learn about the basics of data recovery, not actually dreaming of writing a tool my own. :-) |

How to save a ntfs partition which suddenly became empty @NicoleHamilton and Synetech: Thanks! What does it mean that the time shown by both Windows and Ubuntu has been changed to be 4 hours in advance? I now start to worry about the cause of my partition being wiped out, virus, disk failure, corrupted filesystem,...? |

Ways to improve completeness of files for data recovery and scanning? Thanks, Karan! (1) WHat are some good applications that can help sorting through the debirs, comparing copies, etc? Under Linux (preferably) or Windows? (2) What do you think about the strengths and weaknesses of the 3 tools? In my case, most files were created under Ubuntu with too deep paths to be handled by Windows and software under it, so I ended up purchasing R Studio for Linux, although data loss happened under Windows. The other two tools seem to work under Windows only, and likely not able to handle long paths. (3) Are there some good books or references for data recovery algorithms? |

Ways to improve completeness of files for data recovery and scanning? I tried Recuva before, but my paths are too long to be handled by it under Windows. R-studio has a Linux version, which may be more helpful. |

Ways to improve completeness of files for data recovery and scanning? Another possibility to my question: does data recovery software scan in some storage unit, like 64 KB, 16KB, ...? So if decreasing the scan storage unit to 1 byte, will that improve the quality of scanning and recovery? Note: I am just guessing, and not sure if software for data recovery works in that way. |

Ways to improve completeness of files for data recovery and scanning? Thanks! Does changing the partition to be read-only to all users (system, administrators, ...) protect it from being written? |

when restore deleted directories and files, is it possible to restore the whole path? Thanks, Karan! I tried RStudio, and it seems to be able to find most of my lost files and folders. I now have two specific questions regarding using RStudio. Would you please take a look at them? Thanks a lot! superuser.com/questions/473820/… and superuser.com/questions/473816/… |

How to save a ntfs partition which suddenly became empty (3) Deep scanning in these applications can recover folder structures, and can search all the files and do not need to specify file type or file name for searching. So it seems that you think it in a different way? |

How to save a ntfs partition which suddenly became empty @Synetech: (1) Recuva does found the files that were deleted. Since they cannot be recovered due to maximum path length exceeded, I cannot view the content. (2) But I tried another software R-studio. It found almost all my lost files and can restore folder structure. I recommend you to try it for your data loss problem too. Also see my two new questions regarding using R-studio, if you are interested. |

Possible to recover older, previously deleted files with R-studio? @Mario:Thanks! The files found can be sorted according to creation time, modification time, or access time. The files deleted can have very different creation time. Deletion time doesn't count as modification time or access time, since the shown modification and access times in R-studio for those found files are also very different, much earlier than the deletion time. I added links to the software, which can be tried freely and has a manual. |
