* This one is updated at the bottom
My brother recently deleted one of my folders (I'm assuming - I was out for the day and came back to find that he had been using it all day and that the folder was gone -* but the drive running out of space is also a possibility) containing about 4Gb worth of stuff. About 3 quarters of it is from sites that have closed down and some from a mail-list that doesn't keep archives of files they send.
What I need is a program to recover the lost files WITH the directory/file-structure intact.
I found one program called 'ADRC_Data_Recovery_Tools_v1.0' which says it does just that, I put it on C:\ (the deleted stuff is on E:\) and it has found 10,000+ deleted files on C:\ but when I ask it to check E:\, it just finishes the search instantly and there are no results (no error message either).
Now, I also found a program called 'Restoration V3.2.13' which has found over 140,000(!) deleted files on E:\ but it can only recover individual files, not the folder/directory structure as well.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated, otherwise could someone point me to either a free program that can recover deleted files & folders with the directory/folder structure intact, or a forum that deals with deleted files and the like.
* I've just used 'Turbo File Uneraser' to do a simple scan only and it comes up with : "ERROR: Couldnot read MFT Record 912571"
* I've only got about a day and a half to get this fixed, so a prompt reply would be greatly appreciated.
* Also any programs that I need would have to be free as I can't really afford to buy any at the moment unfortunately.
Thanks in advance,
