Dear Ram, I have regularly used testdisk to recover files from my laptop's mounted hard drive. So thats not an issue.
I have used recoverjpg in the past as well, but it recovers files and not folders ...and that I believe is the root of your problem. Not only that, the recovered files also do not have their original names. This becomes a problem when you are recovering a large number of files. I switched to testdisk because I ran into problems just like yours. If the hard drive is still available I would recommend using testdisk. Initially I got stuck with testdisk because I kept hitting 'Enter' (the default action) instead of using the 'P' button to list the files in the partition. The deleted files are all lighted up red, and you can actually choose the ones you want to recover. I suspect this little step is preventing you from exploiting testdisk's capabilities. However, if it is problem solving that you are looking at, then I guess this is not the solution. Good luck!
