using testdisk to recover My Book

hi, just a simple question .. i also tried asking in testdisk forum, no reply for now:

 

when you guys use testdisk to recover, and a partition is detected, and you "p" list the files to check if it's correct,

it is supposed to show only 10 clusters worth of files. is that right ?

 

that means you will not see your entire large harddisk directories and all its files - just 10 clusters worth of samples,

 

in that case, when you "c" copy out the files, how do you make sure everything is recovered / copied out , from the entire harddisk including stuff outside the 10 clusters?

 

thanks!

Re: using testdisk to recover My Book

Not sure about this one dude

 

looks like the 10 clusters were the only one's recoverable

 

this might not contain all of your files
