Hm, note that it says here that the tool assumes no file
fragmentation, in that it is triggered by file headers that it
recognizes during a scan.

I think there is a fair chance that we may be able to come up with
such file header (that you may be able to import in the tool?) but I
do not see any chance that your database files sit there without
fragmentation :-(

What formatting does your old disk have?
If it was really no longer used after you started using the new disk,
an analysis of the file system tables might be a better approach. Note
e.g. that most FATx file system (but this is really old)
implementations only mangle a file name entry to mark the file as
deleted. Undeleting such files is easy, and 100% successful if none
its resources have been allocated to another file after the deletion.

Good luck!

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
