[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1903960, member: 396914"] Maybe. If the directory of the drive, in the superblock, is corrupt, you may have lost all names of all files on the drive. In that case, the files will be recovered as unknown names, probable with some generic filename like "File0001," File0002," etc. You will then have to pick through all of them to find the files with the data you want to save. I've had to do that once before and it was a right royal PITA. I can't recommend any tools for you, maybe somebody else can suggest a good one that works. [/QUOTE]
