File Recovey from NTFS

[prashanthaputta]

Hi All,

I hope this is the proper group for my query.

I am implementing an application which recovers files from NTFS file
system after formatting.

Now i am reading sector by sector which is slow process. I found some
applications which recovers files after formatting without much time.
How these people implement this? Please guide me in proper way to
implement this.

Waiting for the reply

Thanks in Advance

If there are 63 sectors per track, and you read a track at a time,
you will get a track of data in one disk revolution instead of
63 disk revolutions. Ignoring the time to process the data
you get the data in 1/63 of the time that single sector reading takes.
