[ubuntu-in] Strange problem with too many jpg files in one folder

[Biswajit Dutta Baruah]

Dear Ram,

I have regularly used testdisk to recover files from my laptop's mounted 
hard drive. So thats not an issue.

I have used recoverjpg in the past as well, but it recovers files and 
not folders ...and that I believe is the root of your problem. Not only 
that, the recovered files also do not have their original names. This 
becomes a problem when you are recovering a large number of files. I 
switched to testdisk because I ran into problems just like yours. If the 
hard drive is still available I would recommend using testdisk. 
Initially I got stuck with testdisk because I kept hitting 'Enter' (the 
default action) instead of using the 'P' button to list the files in the 
partition. The deleted files are all lighted up red, and you can 
actually choose the ones you want to recover. I suspect this little step 
is preventing you from exploiting testdisk's capabilities.

However, if it is problem solving that you are looking at, then I guess 
this is not the solution. Good luck!
