Recovery procedures of NTFS filesystem

[William Muriithi]

Camisso,

The tool just seem to think its ext3. I think its not intelligent
enough to look beyond the file system table - to look at data themself
- and under take the reversal I am attempting. Would this be true or
is it that I am not using it well?

Regards,
William
