Hello,

I'm trying to use the ntfsrecover tool to recover the partition.
I have a data disk (~500MB) on a Windows machine. I wrote to it some files
while powering off the machine (pulling the cable). The resulting
filesystem has some corrupt files - doing "ls" gives me stuff like:
? -????????? ? ?    ?          ?            ? file_20K_24385
So, I tried to use the ntfsrecover tool in order to fix those file entries.
However, it never succeed (I did this experiment a few times).

Here, as an example, is the output of "./ntfsrecover -v --kill-fast-restart
/mnt/data/ntfs_poweroff_fullLogs.partition.raw" (my "disk" is a file
representing a partition):

I trying debugging it a bit, but couldn't find any solid lead.

Do you have any idea why this happens? I would be happy to provide any
addition information (I can provide the entire disk, if that would help).

Thanks,
Gil
