Help with recovery
Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 11:06 am
Greetings,
I am still using the trial while I figure out if I can successfully use your R_Studio for Mac.
I had a Parallels VM go bad when my hard drive crashed and after having their support try to help for hours, I could still not get my snapshots (with latest data) to merge into my VM.
Where I am right now:
This was the only software I was able to use that was actually able to open up one of the Parallels HDS snapshot files. It's about an 8GB file and I see there is most of my data in there which has me excited since I've tried everything to recover this data.
When I scan the image, I get:
Extra Found Files
Recognized 1
Recognized 2
...
Recognized 40
So, I have a lot of these 'groups'
When I attempt to restore some files just to test it, I get:
"Start position of file (32130322432) is outside filesystem size (7256793088) while recovering /Users/johnP/myicons.zip. Try to recover this file using all recognized partitions.
Note: I have been able to successfully extract some smaller text files and images just to see that they are valid and they are.
So the questions I have are this:
1. What does this message mean and what actually should I do to try to recover those files for which I receive this error?
2. Is there any way to handle processing all at once for recovery on the 40 or so "Recognized" file groups or must I do each one separately?
I'm happy to follow any instruction and if it looks like I'll be able to recover my data, I'll buy a license immediately and get to work.
Thank you so much for at least giving me some hope that I'll be able to recover this data.
