Issue when recovering a big deleted file.
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2011 9:45 am
Hi all,
I did the following test : I copied a 8 GB test file onto a 500 GB USB external HDD, standard NTFS formatted. When I delete the test file (shift-del) and try to recover it, all recovery software I tried so far see a zero size file and won't recover more than the name. All but R-Studio that sees the deleted file with its original size (almost : deleted file size is a few bytes over the original one : 84 486 88 128 against 84 486 87 987). Since I only have the demo version, I cannot try a recovery and see if I recover something I can use afterwards.
Is there a way to be sure I won't recover a 0 byte-sized file ?
Thanks.
