of the scan area, so try to enlarge the region or scan the entire hard drive. If that does not help, most likely that
the description of the folder has been overwritten.
Folder names like $ROOT58448 on FAT partitions mean that some folders have been found, but they cannot
be included into the folder structure for this FAT partition. Sometimes, such folders may contain other folder
structures.
If you recover a file, and it appears that the file contains wrong data, try to do the following:
Scan:
the logical disk, if the file has been just deleted.
the hard drive, if the data structure is damaged more seriously.
Search for the file to be restored on all found partitions and try to recover it from all found partitions.
Check each recovered file to ensure that it contains correct data. As soon as you found the partition from
which the file is recovered correctly, use this partitions to recover all other deleted files.
If there are several deleted files to be restored, you should use a file larger than 2KB to select the required
partition.
Cross-Linked Folders
Often R-Studio finds several FAT folder records that contain the same data. Such folders are called cross-
linked. R-Studio marks such folders with an arrow mark:
R-Studio attributes the content of cross-linked folders to one folder called a target folder. When recovering,
R-Studio places the content to the target folder.
To view the list of cross-linked folders,
1 Right-click a cross-linked folder and select Cross Linked Folders on the shortcut menu
> A list of cross-linked folders will appear
You may go to any folder in this list by clicking it.
To find a target folder,
* Right-click a cross-linked folder and select Go Target on the shortcut menu, or
Select the cross-linked folder and select Goto Target on the File menu
If Go Target is gray, this folder is already the target folder.
To set the target folder manually,
* Right-click a cross-linked folder and select Set As Default Target on the shortcut menu, or
Select the cross-linked folder and select Set As Default Target on the File menu.
If Set As Default Target is gray, this folder is already the target folder.
Questionable Folders
Sometimes, R-Studio may find FAT records, which look like folders, but their content is invalid. For example,
file names have invalid characters, date, time, and size, or other file attributes may look strange. Please note that
R-Studio correctly recognizes localized names. R-Studio treats such records as folders, but does not analyze
their content and structure. You can manually scan such folders, but results may be unpredictable. Usually, such
scan reveals garbage.
R-Studio marks such folders with a question mark.
