Try a quick scan instead of a full scan. Quickscan is better in this case. It won't give you fake partitions

okay, i will try to post a pic, for that i need to have computer and scan is yet runing.
And yes, it shows exact sizes. Quick scan and now.
I had 100mb reserved, then 100gb for windows, 200 gb as D:, and 296gb as E. Thatz all of it I had when I open disk management window.
So all looks fine as expected? All partitions are NTFS? Used size is also what you expected?
I did a quick scan before and it came up with exactly what i had( sizes and names I think),
But problem was, it showed me a wrong used space. Partition size was 100% correct. Like e was having 296.23gb or somethng around. Bt as I have mentioned before,
C was empty(its okay cuz i format it)
But
D: showed 53gb used instead of 157gb.
E: showed 203gb used instead of 215gb. Thatz also okay. Those were some vmwares.
Thatz why I ran a ful scan, cuz i cant lose the D:
And I repeat, partition sizes were perfect in quick scan too and now.
If the data is that important to you, and the hard drive is physically "healthy", you can do as many scans as you want with different apps/settings. Don't commit to the writing of corrections until you get the scan that most accurately represents what you thought was on the disk to begin with.
As previously mentioned a screenshot would be great for all to look at.
That "c: 8mb used out of 100gb" does not look good.
You might consider file recovery to other media before committing a correcting write to the disk.
EDIT: Nevermind on that "c: 8mb used out of 100gb" comment. Your post a minute ago reminded me of that format. Certainly commits it to memory a little better as you mentioned it again. :)
Kaktussoft, see edit in my prior post. I fell for it too.
sorry for the delay. Im via my phone and can't comment much fast. For the last question, yes they were all NTFS and exact sizes but not the used space.
Now the full scan is runing and i can see a 10mb as BOOT, then 100mb reserved. 100.01gb as c(thatz the exact size. And lot of 3mb partitions and its not allowed to scroll.
Should I cancel the scan and run a quick one even used data is wrong?
