Hello, this may be easy one - in WinHEX 11, I see Lost & Found special directory in the directory browser, containing the directories I need to recover. However, couple of file locations cannot be determined (this is NTFS compressed dynamic volume (mirrored)). I wanted to try the version 15, but I do not see any Lost & Found there, neither I can locate the directories anywhere, including recursive mode (set to show folders and unhide everything). I must be missing something obvious here..where do I find the Lost & Found in WinHEX 15? Thanks! Jan | ||

There is no special directory with this name any more. Deleted or otherwise lost files are listed in their original directory or, if that is unknown, in the virtual directory "Path unknown" directly or in subdirectories of the same. | ||

Hi Stefan, thank you for your reply. Actually I was looking through change logs and have not found any mention the Lost & Found was removed. Well the problem is, that in 15, the deleted or how was this lost directories are not listed in the original directory. In the "Path unknown" directory there are only two items, named "Directory with ID ####", which, however, are not the one's I'm looking for (and still see in 11). Is it possible that there are located anywhere else? Is the full text search over disk the only option? Or using WinHEX 11 I can probably get the physical location of the entries I'm looking for, can I jump to them using directory browser in WinHEX 15 somehow? Thank for your kind help. | ||

In the English language user interface it was first renamed to "Deleted items" and then superseded by a different concept and the virtual "Path unknown" directory in v12.7 more than 3 years ago (newsletter). > Is it possible that there are located anywhere else? Yes. > Is the full text search over disk the only option? No. If you know the names of these directories, you can explore recursively, include directories in a recursive view, and use the Name filter to filter for them. Or filter for known filenames. | ||

Oh the "Deleted items" name I probably missed, thanks for clearance. > No. If you know the names of these directories, you > can explore recursively, include directories in a > recursive view, and use the Name filter to filter for > them. Or filter for known filenames. Hmm that is what I was trying and the directories are not shown in recursive view in 15. I got FILE record number from running 11, and when I use goto FILE record in 15, I can see the FILE record in hex view but the directory browser is not synced... any other idea? Or can I help you finding the issue? Jan | ||

If you know the FILE record number of the directory you are looking for, fine, then sort by the "ID" column. ID = FILE record number. If you have WinHex group existing and deleted items, don't forget to look at the group of deleted items, or better disable the grouping option. |
