Binary Data File

[Bankole Oladoja]

Hi Eveyone

I have an 80GB WD IDE Drive, everything seems fine on PC3000, but am trying to extract the data.
But what i have is a binary data file.

Please how do I get out the data from the binary data file ??

Thank you.

You can only work with those within DE. You just have to reopen the task in DE and then you can explore the files, or mount the task so you can use other software to analyze it. If you don't have the original drive anymore or it has died, you can check the box where it says "work with data copy only" to just read from the data you've copied. But it doesn't look to me like you've imaged very much yet....

Thank you Jared.. Will try that.

Still can't see the Data..
Everything is just showing blank.

Inside of DE you can't see files or you can't see data? There's a big difference. The data could be encrypted, in which case you won't be able to see any files, or there could be other issues. How much of the drive have you imaged so far? It looks to me that you only just started it and then stopped it based on the number of files in that directory.

The entire drive has been imaged successfully. When I reopened the task in DE, I can only see 2folders and no data.
I have not really checked for the encryption.

Thank you.

I sent a PM offering remote assistance (for a fee, of course).

I actually was just helping him. Turns out the drive is from a DVR, which is why there doesn't appear to be any files.
