Are you recovering them to another disk or trying to write them to the damaged disk? If you had bad sectors, this is a physical problem not a logical ALso you should have attenmpted recovery before formattng, the disk does not need to be seen in Windows with a drive letter to be recoverable, only need to be seen by BIOS and in Disk management as a ddisk - format is irrelevant. If recovery software needs to see a drive letter then it will probably not be effective. Try scanning with the demo version of r-studio and see if it can find any files, by formatting , and changeing the the filesystem, you will have ovwerwritten some data on the disk, the MFT and NTFS metafiles will overwrite some areas, and potentially could overwrite directory entries from the FAT system.

I'm trying to recover them to the C: drive. The drive seems to be working perfectly after the format. I did try to recover before, nothing worked
Will R-Studio take a week to scan again?
I did think of that, but the scan showed that my files were intact. I'll try R-Studio to see if it helps though, thank you very much

R-Studio is scanning right now, it's at 3% about 5 minutes in
I don't want to rush, I'm just worried about the electricity cost^^
Besides, I don't want to recover all the files, just those that I really need/can't do without/are too hard to find.
So you're saying I should look into replacing it?

Hm... It did seem to be a logical fault, since the format fixed it, and everything I ran after seemed alright...
R-Studio is at 24%, I don't think it will finish in time, so I'll see what happened after I'm back from class

R-Studio did the trick, a very clean job. Now all that's left is to discard unwanted/deleted/unusable files and folders and we're good to go. A new drive (1TB) is already ordered, and when it comes I'm running R-Studio again, to see if it missed anything (the C: drive filled up during the process).
Thank you SO MUCH for your help. Sorry for not posting this earlier, but I have to log here via proxy for some reason. Again, THANK YOU.
