Re: [OT] Good File recovery software please

["Simon Hardy" <simonhardy72@xxxxxxx>]

The problem your going to have is that the file header blocks have been
overwritten with the zero size file information, rather than just
"deleted"
(IE no longer linked to the directory list). Most file recovery programs
work on the basis that the file header block contains the information about
the file size and the data block links... So they just search your HD for
valid file header blocks that are no longer part of the directory linked
list.

You will have a number of data blocks stored on the disk that were part of
the PST file, but without a valid header information very few programs will
find them and link them together correctly.... You *may* get it back via a
professional agency.
