HD recovery

[gusl]

My HD recovery with PhotoRec is taking a total of ~4.5 hours (estimated).

There will be more than 1 million txt files, which is of course many more than I had before the crash. I think this means I can, unless I have a smart way of indexing/searching them. The date may be useful.

UPDATE:
