A 60 GB
external USB drive was formatted by someone. I copied the bytes one-by-one by dd
command to a file and named it backup.dd
file. Then I used photorec
to recover the files. Many smaller files are recovered except one specific big mpeg
video.
The strange thing is that the largest recovered file is a swf
flash file of 1.6 GB in size which shouldn't be there. Nobody remembers such a file. That's strange.
Anyways, what else can I do to recover the missing file?
UPDATE
The missing mpeg
video which is not recovered by any tool, should be the largest one. It should be larger than 2 GB
or 3 GB
.
Looks promissing
The Wondershare Recoverit software suggested by the accepted answer is actually showing me the big videos which I was looking for. I'm seeing them, but I cannot push the recover button since I didn't purchase the software yet. It looks promising:
25 GB
. And total capacity of the formatted USB drive has been60 GB
