![]() However if the file is fragmented (part of it is stored here, part there, etc.) then recovery is not likely and you will end up with only the first cluster (512/4096 bytes) of the file. If you have unfragmented files (files that are stored in a block of contiguous clusters), then 100% recovery of the file is almost assured so long as you have the starting cluster and the size (you may end up with some junk padding the end of the file depending on the recovery program PhotoRec falls into this category). ![]() After that, there is some sort of chain (FAT, MFT, inodes, etc.) that keeps track of each subsequent piece of the file. This is because the file-system always stores a pointer to the beginning of the file in the directory entry. When you are trying to recover data, you are likely to get the start of a file more than the end. Are RAR-compressed files really less prone to corruption and thus easier to recover?
