    So I managed to find an old hard drive that was in the computer I used while raiding elemtental PoP content with Stamm on AK. Does anyone know of a free data recovery tool that I can use to do a deep scan and recover all these files rather than just view what the files are?

    that would be good to use. Torven would love to see those since it would be useful for both server code and database.

    i had the logs divided up by mob, so the files are all pretty small. I think I may have found a free one. Thanks for your help

    SO, I managed to "recover" some files with raid logs in them, but the text looks like this:

    I'm viewing them with textedit on a mac. I previously used textedit to view these logs without problem.

    Not sure where to go from here.

    Looks like that part of the file is either corrupted or has been overwritten by something else that isn't ascii text, such as a binary.

    Thanks for the info. I guess they are lost.
