Possible to view index of dead HDD?

Post by General1337 »

Hey,
I recently had a hard drive die on me and I was wondering if it would be possible to retrieve an index of all the files that were on that hard drive.
Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your hard drive dying.

If you can recover your Everything.db you can view the file names you had on your hard drive.
Please make a backup of your Everything.db, running Everything will likely re-create this file.
You should find the Everything.db file in your %APPDATA%\Everything folder, or in the same location as your Everything.exe.

To view the file names in a Everything.db, please see:
Database recovery tool
