![]() ![]() You aren't gonna write to your iPod so you could scan it again afterwards and try something different. There isn't a precedent for this, so I would go for the one showing the largest size, which is the second in your small screenshot, but you can try the other one if you don't yield the right results from the first. The format you did on the drive seems to have raised a small anomoly with two file systems on the same partition as read by PhotoRec. Take your time and I'm sure these will help Mike, but if you have any doubts, come back and we'll take it from there. Only after doing that would any writing be done to the location you choose.Īnd another pictorial demo, quite straightforward, and although on a Mac, the process is the same. ![]() You would then be able to go through the various stages to the "Tenth Window" which is where you choose where to save the files. ![]() This is a pictorial demo and in your case I would go straight to the search when you reach the "Third Window" stage, which takes you to the "Seventh Window". The only difference is the type of file system chosen. It applies to your situation from about the 1'24" position. The above recovery is done on a Linux operating system and starts with the downloading of TestDisk, but it is about PhotoRec which comes in the same installation, and the tutorial although on a non windows system, would be the same for windows. TestDisk has a lot more options, some of which will write to the drive if you make a mistake so if you're in doubt, leave it alone for now. You're just setting up a scan at this stage. The first thing of course is to simply see if PhotoRec will pick up and list your iPod in it's list of drives, and if so use the up/down arrow keys to navigate through the options of choosing the drive, and the file system. If you do get to that stage, and can't work out confidently where to recover your files to, post a screenshot of that particular screen and I'm sure we'll be able to advise. Have a look at these three tutorials, and you'll see that at the end of the process you are asked where you want the files recovering to, and that is the only time PhotoRec will write anything to drive, and it will only write to the location you choose. Start with PhotoRec, which unlike it's name suggests, will recover more than photo's, and will not write anything to your iPod at any stage until you choose the recovery location. So I formatted through Recuva when I was prompted to do so and chose NTFS format and I did not notice at first but it only formatted the HDD to a 9.29 GB (out of the 80gb which is it's capacity), I tried Recuva on two different computers and it won't find anything, I was hoping you could please assist me since according to what I read I haven't done anything that would make me lose the files. I had a iPod Classic 80gb 6th gen break down on me and the thing I cared about the most was recovering the music so I bought an adapter to connect the HDD to my computer and therefore try and get back the music, most sites directed me towards Recuva and since I'm a loyal CCleaner user this idea seem most fortunate to me, however when I connected the HDD to my computer and launched Recuva it would ask me to format the drive in order for Recuva to recognize it, I did some searching first and found that it is possible to format and still recover the files as long as I don't try putting anything on the drive because that would overwrite it making me lose my files. Hi there I'm new to this forum so hopefully this is the right place for it. ![]()
