Hello,
I have bought your software, R-Studio, to recover a hard drive that I have formated by mistake. Once the recovery scan is complete, I can see the folder structure, and the folders that I want to recover, however none of the files there can be open, as what ever kind of file extension I try to open, the error states that it cannot open that kind of files, when for exemple I try to open a word document in the Word software.
Any way to work around that?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Recover Mac formated HDD
How was it formatted before than your format event?
Was it HFS+ (apple)? Or something else (e.g. some Linux or Windows)

Have you looked into the Raw Files folder? Many files may be there, unfortunately, without file names and the original folder structure.tintin74 wrote:Hello,

Re: Recover Mac formated HDD
It may be that the starting offset of the found file system partition isn't where it's supposed to be. When that happens with HFS+, file/folder structure will all be trying to open at the wrong place. You may just need to manually identify and carve out a custom region with the correct starting offset.

Yes, it was formated with HFS+ before.Corsari wrote:How was it formatted before than your format event?
