Can the free version or the other versions recover the tree structure? I'm running Windows Server 2008R2. I just searched for pictures only. It found the pictures, but does NOT know what folder they belong to. It has them in the root of the E:\ drive. I did have 'restore folder structure' checked.
I know windows very well...it just has the root of E:\
For my info...if I re-run the scan or load other software on the C:\ drive (the E:\ has NOT been touch since the deletion) will the integrity of the E:\ be effected at all???
As long as your E: drive is simply a data drive, and doesn't contain any kind of operating system, program installs, or system folders moved from but still attached to it, then doing stuff on your C: drive shouldn't compromise it's integrity. I have an E: data drive, and the only stuff that goes on it is the stuff I physically copy or download to it.
But you haven't cleared up the "+" sign issue with your last post, and I'm intrigued to find out if and why it's missing.
