I have so far been able to recover a lot of my files using 'Partition Find and Mount', but a lot more than 250mb of files seem to be corrupted/missing. One folder of (at least) 20gb is completely inaccessable, I assume some of the file referencing data has been overwritten (not sure if it's called file allocation tables on NTFS, or even if it works that way).

After I've copied all the valid files I'm going to try other methods (that actually alter the drive). Do you think that TestDisk will be more succesful in recovering the rest of my data? Would 'deleted file recovery' programs be more appropriate than 'partition disk recovery' programs to retrieve the it?

Thanks for your help so far.
