Ok, was doing the usual cutting files of a heavely infected windows machine for a friend. So i inserted his harddrive, cut the files and pasted them onto my external harddrive using ubuntu.
Well 44mb of the 9.8gb arrived, The data lost includes his coursework!!!
Anyone got any ideas?

Why did you use cut & paste instead of copy & paste?

TestDisk is a file recovery program but I've never used it. Worth looking into though to see if you can recover the files off the Windows drive.

Thanks for help, had to shift through a lot of deleted dodgy porn, to find the files he wanted....
