Ugly MFT

[Jared]

This is one ugly looking MFT:


Looks like it has smallpox. Should make for an interesting mess of finding all his files.

Amazingly enough, seems that only around 6 folders couldn't be placed after the job is complete. And despite having 60,000 bad sectors, they didn't hit one single user file.

What's really amazing is that about 50,000 of the bad sectors were all in the pagefile.sys file. Yet that file was fragmented into about 20 pieces spread across the drive, and each one looking just like the picture above. However all the data before and after the strings belonging to pagefile.sys were mostly fine. It's like the drive malfunctioned while trying to do something with the pagefile and caused bad sectors exclusively to those regions.

Go buy a lottery ticket

Yeah, I've never seen anything quite like it before.

It's like the out of control car that misses all the pedestrians before burying itself into a wall, but leaving the occupants uninjured :shock:

I second the 'buying a lottery ticket' idea.
