Some files on my Harddisc disappeard a few day ago(10 movies) and I canÃ‚Â´t find them, but there are also no 7GB that where used by the movies so I thought that I could bring them to life somehow...
Do u know a good program for such things??

but there are also no 7GB that where used by the movies

depending on if the 7GB space are still in use or not.
they have been moved to an other folder or hd?

else, did you regained the 7GB space if yes they are deleted(too big to fit in the recycle bin).

No I didnÃ‚Â´t move them to an other folder.
I donÃ‚Â´t use the missing 7GB, my HD has 160GB and there is standing 153GB free memory, even if there is nothing on the HD.
Thx for your help...

DC++ might have... do you use separate folder for incomplete files?

?

the hd is empty?
then the discrepency between 160Gig and 153 is used to format the hd(this is if the partion use the whole hd possible space and/or hd space is not limited by puter BIOS or windows).

No I donÃ‚Â´t use...
This was just a example, caus I have 160, 7 are used to format it, than I have 153GB free memory...
,but I have only 146GB free memory and this means that 7GB are used by nothing...

Thx

are you sure that the movies where on that hd?

check if scandisk have put some "recovery" files in the root dir.

look if those files are not set as hidden or system files.
control panel-->folder options--->view
make sure you can see hidden files and folders.

i don't know why but i got a feeling that your 160 hd is not partition to it's full capabilities.

Yes I am sure that they are on the hd.
The Problem is that I donÃ‚Â´t have scandisc...
No they are not hidden...
Thx
