Can this recover video files that say 0 KB?

Recommended Posts

Im not sure what happened but a few of my old videos about 10 all say are 0 KB. 

My computer got a BSOD and i wasnt able to boot to my wndows. I took it to a computer repair shop and they said i had 100 viruses and 1 memory slot went bad. 

They were able to reinstall windows and transfer all my files over and everything looked like it was still there until i checked my downloads folder carefully and say 10 videos somehow went from 500 MB to 0 KB so it wont let me play the video of those

Did the viruses erase the data for those files to say 0 KB? and would this program help recover it?
 
 
Both my old SSD (That wont boot) and my new SSD say 0 KB on those 10 video files

You had a new SSD installed as your system drive, and your files copied over from your old SSD?

 

The videos on the new SSD will be zero bytes and there is no point looking at that drive.

 

I don't know what caused the live video files on your old SSD to be shown as zero bytes. I presume you are using Recuva with Show Non-Deleted Files checked?

 

A deep scan might find the videos. If you are very lucky they, or some of them, will be in one fragment and can be recovered. Those in multiple fragments can't be recovered beyond the first fragment.

 

A deep scan is unlikely to show the video names, just the file type, so you may have to select them on date and size.
