I have tested this app on ntfs, vfat and ext2 volumes. I can tell you for certain that it does not need the ntfs filesystem driver to work with an ntfs partition and yet it can read and restore files. Most of the files were a *lot* larger than 4kb, and were recovered intact. As the application has no idea of the filesystem, the filenames themselves are not preserved but the data is. Regards, Niall
