Data Recovery and Disk Utilities Forum @R-TT

Thank so much for you help, Alt!

The scan of the first 100Gb was enough to get the files/folders structure for all the files I needed. I went ahead and purchased R-Studio for Mac, and downloaded and installed the latest release (2.0 Build 903 October 27, 2009). R-Studio recovered all the files that ...

R-Studio found all the files (or the table that points to the files) when I tried your suggestion of scanning from 0 to 100 GB. It took just over 11 hours to scan about the first 46GB before I stopped the scan. I will probably run separate scans (with slightly overlapping regions) until the whole ...

I would like to make an image but I do not have a drive with enough space: it is the only 1TB disk I ...

I am trying out the Demo, but the scan does not finish, so I am hesitant whether this app can help me recover files from my external disk.
The disk is a Lacie Quadra D2 1TB, which I connect to my Intel MacBook Pro via an e-SATA Express Card. The disk is HFS+ with only one partition. It used to work ...
