Help !?

I have just turned my pc on and it ran a beast of a scan disk on my 120gb hard drive (which was full) and now half my folders are missing. However there is about 90GB in the folders below.

Can I recover this information (I assume something has got corrupt ?) Help please theres a lot of info on there that I need.

FOUND.000 <- 60gb
FOUND.001 <- 30gb

Most likely, you're screwed.

For future reference, now you've found out the hard way why backups are important.

Sorry.
 
well the "IRONIC" thing is I was actually backing up my pc. As I had another hd die a few months back so i bought a dvdr and was just going for it, burning dvdr after dvdr of data.

Thats when it died.

funnily enough i noiced that a lot of the files are file sizes that i recognise, so i renamed on to the correct extension and it worked. WOOT! however there are a damm lot of em (20,000) but most are like 32kb, which are prob rubbish.

Fingers crossed and all might not be lost.

But damm i nearly cried, 120GB lost, what a disaster that would have been.

Cheers
