I made a directory. D:\DANE and there was 3 files : Adobe.pdf , obraz.jpg , and Dokument.doc. I have deleted it and instantly I wanted to recover it back. I can see in directory browser directory DANE (it is at the end marked as deleted directory) and when I try to recover it (right click and Recover/copy...) I can recover only empty DANE directory. I was trying also to recover files by tools-->disc tools-->Recover file by name, but it also does nothing! My question is. Why it is like that if instantly after delete I am trying to recover it and there are no other data operation on this partition so data must be somewhere ? How to recover directory with files , when I try to enter there it is empty...And other methods are also not effective in this case which suppose to be v.simple. I kindly ask for replay. | ||

I would like to add that I use Windows XP and I did turned off the system backup option. I suspect that becouse of some reason this data was not deleted . I empty thr recidlent bin on all partitions. | ||

Usually there is no such problem. What you observe may happen on FAT32 when deleting the directory without the detour to the recycle bin. Then the 32-bit cluster number is not fully available for that directory any more. In such a case, however, the thorough file system data structure search will still find the directory and its contents. | ||

Stefan, I dit the thing again... It does that I can recover/copy... directory with no files. Also no files was found in other methods of search. I did the same thing with oter files, I mean I have deleted whole directory with files and the same situation happend - I couldnt get the files - only directory(inside there is path unknown)! And non search methods can help... My question is: 1. Do you know what is going on? 2. Is it maybe beacuse the first letter is missing and thats why I can`t find the file(s)? Thanks a lot! | ||

Stefan! I know what was the reason! The reason was that I had installed Nortos System Works and after I have remove it everything works normally!  Best regards, |
