Hello everyone. My hard drive crashed a few months ago. I installed a new one and hooked the old one up as the primary slave. Upon startup Windows XP did its auto-fix type thing, and repaired the registry and recovered a few files, but lost the majority of them.

I tried using Final Data Enterprise to try and recover my lost files. There were a lot of media files on the computer and Final Data Enterprise found them but they were in fragments. So for example, a song that was 4 minutes long was in aboute 20 smaller fragments of the song. Is there a program or something I can do that you guys can reccommend to me in order to recover these files in a complete state, and not in fragments like this?

Thank you.
 
have you tried to copy the file to the good drive or a flash drive and then defrg it?
 
Yes, I did try defragmenting it, but that didnt help. The files are still broken up into all their little sound clips.
