Boot Partition Recovery

[Gary S. Terhune]

You got me. It's definitely something I'd ask the company's tech support,
though. and Customer Support, too, since the product isn't doing what they
said it would do, i.e., recover files that were found using the demo.

IIRC, there are different collections returned, based, I believe, on the
various copies of the file systems that have been installed (structures left
over after reformatting or repartitioning.) I had to cycle through several
before finding eh "real" one. I'll reinstall my copy and see if I can't
brush up on my terminology.

It depends where it got the file info from. If it recovered TOC records, it
would know the file existed and how large and where on the disk, but it
doesn't mean it is still there to be found.

Gary seems to know what he is talking about - follow him -)

Seems there is a "folder enumerator" option which just shows
a folder structure, presumably, of what is recoverable. Then
there is also the "scan drive" option which shows the "extra files
found". Guess I was being optimistic thinking I'd have good
chances of recovering such a small amount of data rather than
the entire drive. All I really need one .dbx and one .pst file.

I'll contact their support staff and see if they have anything usefull
to say.
