CHKDSK deleted 2TB of stuff
Hi,
I just finished reformatting my computer. I ran PerfectDisk and defragged the drive that lost the files. I then restarted the computer. Then CHKDSK decided to run (no biggie I thought).
I managed to recover the bootex log which I posted a link to below (I tried to cut a lot of the repetitive stuff out).
Basically about 2 TB of mostly video files have been deleted. The drive is empty in My Computer except for a bootsqm.dat file. There is about 500 GB of used space. I found a system hidden "found.000" folder which contains this 500 GB of data. The files are named but they don't play. The other 2 TB of data is gone as far as I can tell.
I'm currently copying the found.000 folder to another drive and running a deep scan of Recuva (which could take all day). I did cancel the scan a few minutes into it and found a 3GB file from the System Volume Information folder called 2{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}. Is this file important? I don't have system restore set up on this drive so I don't know what it is.
What should I do? I'm afraid even if I can recover the files using Recuva or something the file name info will be gone.
I don't have a full back up of this drive. I just bought a second 4TB drive for the purpose of backing it up but naturally this happens before I got a chance to.
Thanks!
