What about restoring the partition? You might be able to get everything back that way. If you are using an e01 file, then you may have Encase or another analysis tool that can search for old MFT records and partitions. Try searching for NTFS if the drive was previously formated that way. It may jsut work….
Thanks mscotgrove, I will try your s/w.
noahb2868, hoe do I search for old MFT records and paritions in EnCase? Once I find it, I do I retrieve the files that I want?
And what you mean by "searching for NTFS"? yes, the drive was previously formatted.
Why should it make a difference if it was a quick or full format? Theres no difference between the two, a full format only checks each sector to see if its bad or not…a quick format skips that bit.
