The Recover
utility lets you move these undamaged files from the damaged drive to an undamaged drive.
You??™d normally use this utility after you had tried to recover the drive information using the
ChkDsk command. This utility uses the following syntax:
RECOVER [drive:][path]filename
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
drive Specifies the drive to use as a source for file information.
path Specifies the absolute path to use as a source for file information.
filename Specifies the name of the file you want to recover. You must specify the name of a
file and cannot use wildcards with this command. The utility performs a low-level search for the
information on the hard drive. Consequently, this command can require a long time to run.
When you want to search for multiple files, it??™s usually more efficient to create a batch file containing
all of the filenames and let the computer work while you do something else.
WARNING The Recover utility won??™t work with deleted files. In addition, it doesn??™t work if the
File Allocation Table (FAT) is damaged in such a way that the utility can??™t discover the beginning
file entry.
