I started on Wednesday last week and its had been running right through to Monday non stop ( 6 days), there was approx 80GB on the drive, shows how bad it was. Well when we had the storm on Monday, we had a power cut around 5.30 pm, didn't come back till around 7pm. The poor UPS simply couldn't keep the PC going for that time and finally died -- Along with the HDD. All data LOST and drives now completely dead Surely ddrescue would have recovered something?

It recovered the folder structure to a degree, but as soon as you tried to open any of the folders where data was, it either came up with an error, corrupted or damaged, or the folders were empty. I had managed to save the pst file before, but don't know if its damaged or not, wont know till I try to restore it. Originally when looking at the Pictures folder there was something like 8 GB of photos. But you couldn't open or copy them, you could only see the thumbnail preview view, if you tried to open or copy again Error with corrupted or damaged. I'm Telling ya it was like this: LOL 5241	wainuitech (129)
