Finding lost data

If you know you are using the right drive and you have performed the user file search but your drive does not contain the entire files/directories, there may be lost files on your drive. A very typical -but not limited to- case would be if you accidentally formatted or reinstalled your drive.

After selecting Find lost data from Tools menu, the following window will appear.

This dialog window allows you to limit the search to a particular range of the current drive. In most cases the default setting can be retained. Click on OK to start the search.

After the search has completed (or canceled by the user), the found files can be found in the Lost folder of directory tree. To recover a searched file proceed as described in section Recovering lost or deleted files.

If you did not disable the "find lost files" option under menu "Object/Options/Scan options", there will be also detected lost files by a signature search algorithm. These files can also be found in the Lost folder of directory tree below the directories found. If the file size of these lost files could not be detected, they will have the default size specified under menu "Object/Options/Scan options ".

 

  If the size of the found lost file is too small, you can adjust the size for each single file by selecting Properties from Object menu.

For more information on recovering lost files refer to File System Issues.
