I love this software. But I could not restore MKV file on a hard disk with WD Caviar Green 3TB GPT NTSF, lost partition.
He restored several AVI, very good.
I think any software in the world cant restore MKV in these conditions.
I tried various software, some with many megabytes,
and believe me, the best was Recuva
It would be great if Recuva do this.
Thanks,
Shakes from Brazil..
Sorry for your problem.
I do not believe this is yet implemented in Recuva.
EaseUS may have a partition recovery solution for free to assist you in recovery.
If not, I fully know that Handy Recovery does work, if you buy the full edition because I had the same problem years ago & that fixed it for me.
Handy Recovery can also restore from a corrupted user profile as well (windows won't show any files through explorer, yet it is still there but corrupted... Can happen if user experiences incorrect shutdown/various failing hardware causes data glitches, etc...)
Yes, hopefully Recuva will implement this functionality, because a drive can go to RAW mode in a moment's notice. For whatever reason.
+ 1 for the idea from me, & hope that what I said above is able to help you rescue your data for now
You may be right about EaseUS... I haven't specifically used that app, but saw it online & have use one of their partition resize products in a past time successfully, so I figured it may work...
Bottom line:
You may be able to run Recuva & restore the files after checking the options for deep scan under advanced options as well as restore folder structure. Try recovering 1 at a time if selecting all fails.
I know that I have used & had great success with Handy Recovery in time past (if Recuva fails, though I would try Recuva first since it is free).
I am not 100% sure on this, but I heard someone mention PhotoRec as a good utility in time past (though not sure how it handles your specific case), but it should be free.
