The program that has worked for the most part is Active@ Partition Recovery.

I'm so close but yet so far from recovering my data.

Okay so here's what happens.

In the following screenshot (blanked out a folder and filename with profanity in case some of you guys are at work :P), it detects the partition I accidentally deleted with ALL 100% of my data listed. Of course, I didn't write ANY data to that drive after I did this.

But when I click "recover" and finishes the recovery process, in Windows I click on the partition that was just was just recovered... It's EMPTY.

The program seems to be able to see my lost files, but when I recover the partition windows doesn't seem to think the same =(

Things I tried:

• I tried running a chkdsk /r /f after I recovered the partition, apparently it couldn't find any errors.
• Tried using other software like TestDisk to recover the partition, but they (all) act similar to Windows in that it detects the (missing) partition but when I browse it there's no files.

The partition is there along with all the file and data information. The sector information is also in the screenshot, is there any way I can use this to my advantage in recovering my data?

Other information:

• Dualboot: Win8 / Ubuntu 12.10 x64
• 1TB Internal desktop drive, GPT Layout, NTFS formatted drive, 64K allocation size.
