I've been running magic rescue on this machine since 9:00 am. It's currently 11:15 am and I have recovered 453 office documents and it is still not done scanning. Apparently, I should have used shred before I installed over Windows XP. None the less, it's recovering a lot of data, but, not the HPA hidden files yet.
Update: 1:52pm and it's still running. We're at 570 files and 336M. I might as well let it keep running. But, I'm going to try changing the options next time around. I'll probably tinker with the default block size, as well as create a recipe file for a gif image. It's picking up every type of Microsoft Office document...sigh...
To be continued...
Update: Well it has finished scanning! Yay! I wish I would have timed it, as I am not sure when it finished Friday night or Saturday morning. The problem now is sifting through all the 1073 files recovered. Only 207 of which are Word docs. If I was thinking, before I deleted the files from HPA space, I would have noted the file size. Oh well, now I'm manually checking to see if the files were recovered. I'm also going to unhide the HPA partition and just run magic rescue just on that partition. We will see if that makes a difference.
