NeonsStyle 591 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Hey, My power supply shat itself, and took out the boot sector of my C drive forcing me to rebuild windows, and in theprocess I lost a bunch of files. I managed to back up WIP of a couple maps I was working on, but lost about 2 monthsworth of work. So I installed DR 2.6. Now one of these maps has about 36 maps in the series of WIP. I can open up to28 of them. From 29 to 36 (the later ones) the editor says it doesn't recognise the map format which isreally weird. So 9 maps won't open. So that's about 2 months worth of work lost unless I can find a way to open them. Anyone know why this is happening? I could spit you a file if you think you can help. [Edit] I discovered what has happened. map files 29 to 37 are corrupted and full of NULL text.

LDAsh 57 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 So you used the same HDD to format and reinstall Windows, or do you still have the drive with the borked MBR? This also happened to me and I had a lot of luck recovering files using this:-https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grayman 2982 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 @NS: Did you have snapshots turned on in DR? That would have filled your maps/snapshots folder with copies of your work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
