Undelete Utility for .avi files which works?
Does anyone know which undelete utility works to recover an .avi file
please? I need it for one avi file which my Archos DVR accidentally deleted. I have tried freeundelete but it recovers it as some type of corrupted DIVX file which I don't seem to be able to repair. I am a bit unwilling to pay to buy a utility which I would use once and which might do the same on this 2 gig file of which I actually need only a few megabytes. I don't think it was designed for avi files although I cant understand how it can recover a file into anything other than the condition it was in before the delete took place? Is there a possibility that it might work if run again a few times? It takes (at least)overnight to do whatever it does |

Is there a possibility that it might work if run again a few times? It takes (at least)overnight to do whatever it does My guess is that your Archos DVR is a FAT32 device. My recent testing with FAT 32 devices indicates that the upper 16 bits of the FAT pointer are often cleared when the file is deleted. This makes recovery difficult, even if the directory entry still exists. Also, is the file you want likely to be a contigious files, or could it be fragmented. Again, my tests indicate that an incomplete .avi file does not run. Partial MPEGs can work quite well. You can try the demo of my software, www.cnwrecovery.com and this will indicate if you will get files (maybe .wav extension) of the correct length. You will need to do a Raw Image, and split on file starts. However, the software at the moment does not handle fragmented files when dealing with Raw recovery. I am prepared to offer you a free licence on the basis that you buy a licence ($19.99) if you can recover your files. Michael www.cnwrecovery.com |

With FAT32, you cannot undelete files unless they were contigous. It's gone for good.

Undelete Utility for .avi files which works?
Sounds reasonable: I wasn't prepared to pay twice or three times that amount
to not recover one file (of which I have a copy, though emphatically not as good quality). This was the first file ever written to an empty DVR so I doubt it was all that fragmented wrote in message ups.com...
