Thats nothing like what you originally said.

Yes, I am sorry, my mistake.

Where did the 'It is 115GB full, out of 120GB' come from ?

Was that just poor recollection ?

Which is the correct story ?

Disk is SATA, it was formatted to FAT32, it has no bad sectors,
SMART reports nothing, comp. manager in XP says it is healthy.
It is 160GB disk, in win xp it shows some 149BG used.

There are some strange %&/#$)=?(/ZÈSZ present
on it, folders are also named strangely...

Yeah, that was clear from the original and can be produced
by not having the 48 bit LBA support enabled properly.

It might be possible to use a recovery program that
scans the drives for file headers if your original story
is correct and the files you care about arent fragmented.

I tried with easy recovery pro, no luck.

Which of the two scan types did you try ?

Hope you didnt install it on the bad drive.

I am beginning to lose my faith here...
;(
shit.

All may not be completely lost yet, how likely is it that the
files you want are fragmented and what sort of files are they ?
