Re: Who knows where to go for Disk Recovery

Hi Trig, do you mean your media files and your safety backup of these media files were on that same drive? Ouch.

I have no experience with drive recovery, I hope someone who knows more about this will chime in.

Best wishes,

I feel you pain. From what I know recovery systems only retrieve your files, not any folder structures. And AFAIK all retrieved files get weird file names instead of the original ones. I don't think any software can recover folder or file names on crashed drives. I hope they will be able to recover your media in the first place, then you can try to restore your project. Fortunately file names don't matter much to FCP X. And if you try to relink to the wrong files it will refuse to do so, that's an extra safety. Maybe it will be possible to just re-import the media. You will have to wait and see.

Best wishes,

Ronny

Hi Agree with Mike 100%.

Disk Warrior has saved my act more than once over the years. Sure helped out a number of my friends too.
