JMJ, he's not talking about the cluster size but the low-level sector size of the drive.

It is the reason modern hi-density hard drives perform better when their partitions are properly aligned to a 4Kbyte boundary as windows usually defaults to 4kbyte cluster size with NTFS so reduces the internal firmware translation needed when windows squirts out file writes by the 4Kbyte cluster directly into a 4kbyte sectors buffer that can be written on next rotation of the platter instead of being held in the buffer until the buffer is flushed and a read/merge/write operation would be needed to write the part 4Kbyte sectors data to the platter. Large volume 2.5" drives 1TB or more, maybe a bit less too, conserve overhead space by low level formatting the drive using 4096byte sectors and buffer/convert 512byte access by windows etc into the low-level sector accesses, a bit like how CP/M-80 worked in 128 byte blocks internally and the BIOS translated and buffered those to 512byte floppy drive and hard drive sectors in a process called blocking and de-blocking if I recall correctly.
Always recover your files onto a separate drive so you won't write over the old ones. The data is most likely still there, but won't be if you replace them with new files. P.S.: Partition your hard drive so you separate the operating system from data (or get a dedicated hard drive for the OS)! If you ever lose your files, do not write anything in the damaged drive/partition(s). I really wasn't expecting Partition Guru to be useful as a file recovery tool, but I am so glad I know this now. I was okay with losing a great deal of porn and other vids but not the pics and documents which I cannot replace.
You can also de-select these files for recovery which have a red trash can next to the file name.Īnyway, this was a life saver. Some files were also corrupt, but it may be my fault because Partition Guru also shows all deleted files which haven't been written over. I did notice some files were mislabelled, so check your vids to make sure something labelled as "funny kid with dog" isn't porn. I'm still recovering the files which does take a long time. You can just select certain folders (and individual files within each folder) that you want to recover instead of recovering everything (although you still need to run the hours-long scan). Partition Guru showed me the old directory folders and recovered the files by folders (and the sub-folders under the parent folders which was far more useful than sorting though thousands of generically-named files with no original folder names. No original directories either so all video files were mixed - Youtube ones with porn. I tried Eassos, but it would only recover portions and only by file type (jpg, wmv, mkv) and renamed everything to something generic like File0003.doc.
Partition Guru has a partition recovery wizard as well as a files recovery wizard. I still don't know exactly what happened since this happened just days ago, but Partition Guru saved my ass!
I think the system image tried to restore the old partition sizes (system recovery and C:\ drive).

When I restored the system image file of a previous Windows 10 copy, my other partitions were erased! I'm not talking about just missing a drive letter assigned to them which you can easily fix.

The Windows 10 update (v1607) repartitioned my hard drive automatically (increased recovery partition size).
