I understand what you mean, but think, it is nesessary to run chkdsk.
For recovery, I am using: File Scavenger.
Not free, but when restoring, the full path can be restored too.
and good accessible.
A free alternative, is Restoration, the file is rest2514. It can restore,
but not with the original path.
When you pick files to restore, you have to find the restore button with
the mouse or jaws-cursor if using Jaws.
You can also restore, with alt-c for restore by copying file to other
location.
The recovered file will be restored to an other location, so no other
files are overwritten.
You can download it at:

If I run CHKDSK,, the program might decide that the areas where the files
I
cannot access are bad sectors and delete them from the file allocation
table.
This would also alter the physical layout of the drive, which in turn
might
make it impossible to use any data file recovery software to recover the
lost files.
Before running CHKDSK, I would like to try and recover the files before
running chkdsk to fix any disk error problems.

Hello everyone:
Due to a computer crash while my hard drive was updating some files,
there
are files on the drive which I can no longer access.
When I check the properties for the hard drive, the amount of space used
indicates just under 130GB, which is about what I would expect.
However, if I highlight all the folders on the hard drive when I am in
the
root folder, the amount of used space is 184GB
Can anyone on the list recommend a suite of programs that I can use that
is
accessible for recovering the data and to repair the disk.
I have not made any changes to the drive since the crash.
I eagerly await any suggestions.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
