        <description><![CDATA[What's worse, if the issue is a corrupted file system, photorec will find fragments of files (deleted or not) and make a separate image (or what have you) for each fragment, building it by following pointers fore and aft.If a gif or jpeg is stored in 122 different non contiguous fragments, you will get 122 copies of the same file. They will all have cryptic names, except maybe one or two. Also, the size and quality will vary, and any thumbnails will also be 'recovered,' so looking through the results to find what you really want is going to take 10 times longer, at least, than the photorec process will take in the first place.I just recovered a corrupt, unmountable windows drive, I tried deleting unrecoverable and duplicate files, but after 3 days of going through the list finally just gave the client 3 DVDs with incomprehensibly named image files and told them to browse them and find what they wanted.There was less 'overlap' with Office files, and most of them recovered (at least one copy) with the original name intact. Most of the 'overkill' was image files.Photorec is a tremendous asset, my gratitude to the authors.In the event the issue is an unmountable drive, the data needed must be valuable enough to warrant the time to recover it. As long as inode tables or whatever drive mapping is intact it's a whole 'nother story. You'll get your files swiftly and the naming should be ok.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Nice timing on your article.  I'm running this program now against 17 TB Drobo RAID device.  I got complacent thinking the Drobo was protecting me against crashes, but not corruptions.  Anyway, I'm two days into the recovery, will take a week, and the files getting recovered are being placed into directorates named recup_dir. .  Many of the files are named f.ext (f438985864.iso) and they are not complete.  Will photorec rebuild the complete files and filenames from this information?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I heartily agree with you HAL 9000. I do mention later in the article that it is definitely recommended to stash your data on another partition when you select the directory to dump recovered files to. But yes, adding that as another rule in and of itself would probably run that point home.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The author of PhotoRec also offers a tool called TestDisk as well. It works in a similar way except it is designed for more all-purpose file recovery on damaged partitions. I just wanted to quickly mention TestDisk for those that want to try a different approach. Even so, Photorec still manages to recover file types that I consider some of the more important kinds anyway, such as image files, Word documents and zip files, just to name a few. TestDisk is also included on the Ultimate Boot CD as well for those who want to give it a look over.]]></description>
