GetDataBack, problem.

I've been using GetDataBack to recover a lot of files for many of my careless clients for quite some time.
When I run it it always displays a filesystem to recover. An then gives you the files and folders it deems recoverable.
But now i came upon one that was different. After it has scanned the drive, and told me that around 12 thousand files have been identified, it does not show me any file system to recover. It's just blank. I've tried several different options, including Ignore FAT, but it still comes back without a file system, even though it identifies a lot of files in the scanning process. If anybody knows Why this is I'd appreciate any help you could provide.

Have you tried a different file recovery program overload?

I use a free one called PC Inspector File Recovery v4.x

It may be worth a try

Thanx Vidster, i'll give it a try, see what it does. Although I'm still curious as to why GetDataBack is not showing any recoverable FAT's

Well I ran PC inspector, and it Found several things unfortunately it doesn't do a very good job of telling me what they are, and i got bored of clikcing ignore on all the cluster errors it found. They shoud add a "Ignore All errors and continue" checkbox. so you don't have to click every 2 seconbds on a littel pop up.

On another point,

I'm still trying to find out why i'm not getting a FAT from GetDataBack. If anybody has any ideas.
I'd appreciate the input.
