Well it's fairly trivial to reallocate drive space if you know how. In addition I don't know yet if the folder was inaccessible due to a physical problem - in which case you may be correct, or a logical problem - in which case the files are potentially recoverable. If your correct that it doesn't check all partitions then I would need to perform a quick format first or more preferably - reallocate the part of the drive windows has marked as a bad boy before performing the scan? Any helpful suggestions from anyone?
Thanks,
Nick
