I had tried Recuva already, but it did not help me. I also was advised on the Dutch gaod-page by Bruwani to try GetDataBack for FAT ($69, try-before-you-buy). That did not succeed either. What helped me this morning was the now-freeware DIY DataRecovery CHK-Mate. After copying the hidden folder FOUND to another drive, CHK-Mate converted the majority of the CHK-files automatically to pdf's. I have not done a complete check, but it seems I have recovered the majority of the missing files.<br /> CHK-Mate can be found a.o. at <a href="http://www.diydatarecovery.nl/chkmate.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.diydatarecovery.nl/chkmate.htm</a> </p> BentlyTCow on "Need to recover files with zero length on USB FAT drive" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4941#post-53119 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:55:05 +0000 BentlyTCow 53119@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I don't know if it will work or if it's even what you need, but try recuva.</p> <p><a href="http://www.recuva.com/download" rel="nofollow">http://www.recuva.com/download</a></p> <p>It will recover 0 byte files, amongst other things. Again I don't know if it will help, but it's worth a shot!</p> <p>-Duane. </p> GerGn on "Need to recover files with zero length on USB FAT drive" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4941#post-52995 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 08:29:10 +0000 GerGn 52995@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>The backup programme offered a few days ago did not backup my pdf scan files on an external USB FAT disk, coupled to a hardware Linux Samba server. Worse, a number of pdf files now show a size of zero bytes and cannot be opened anymore. Does anyone has a suggestion how I could recover these files?<br /> Thanks in advance!</p> <p>GerGn </p>
