R studio sees the file, but recovers it at 0 gigs.

I'm trying to recover a vdi disk image. R-studio has no problem finding the file name, but it recovers an empty file. What are my best options for recovering the contents, without sending the disk out?

Re: r linux crashed after running for a few days.

Sure. I completely deleted everything on the disk with rsync, by mounting the disk below where I was rsyncing to. On a related note on another disk I'm trying to recover a deleted VM r linux sees the missing VM, but only recovers a 0 byte file from it. Any tips on how to actually get the contents of ...

r linux crashed after running for a few days.

Just let me know if you want the logs, and where I should be able to find them.

Not sure, if I can recover anything useful from this ext4 drive. I let r linux run for about 4 days, and all I got was about 49gigs out of a 1.7tb of used partition space. I recovered most of the folders, but all of ...

Re: Scan of disk img stuck at 100%.

Hmm, the Ubuntu live cd keeps freezing after running R-linux file recovery for about half an hour.

So, I went ahead and tried the version of R-Linux for fedora/redhat, and the menus aren't displaying any text or icons, after installing the 64 bit rpm. If I launch the program from a terminal these ...

Re: Scan of disk img stuck at 100%.

Thanks. I didn't see R-Linux on the website. The scan completed and found files. If I want to get directory structures back along with file names, which options should I click when recovering files?

Scan of disk img stuck at 100%.

I'm trying to demo mode out on my disk image of an ext4 filesystem, on a Linux livecd, just to see what R-Studio's scan can find before making a purchase. I ran the disk scan in the mode without output, and it's currently just sitting at 100% with 3.64 TB (size of the image) scanned. I cannot select ...

Booting usb as a loopback device

I'm trying to copy the emergency iso all to my multiboot usb, and boot the iso as a loopback device. I just can't seem to find anything on setting GNU grub up with multiple files for the initrd. Usually, there's one compressed file.

Here's what my grub entry looks like.
