Everything.db file opening?

Post by gut »

Hallo everybody!

I'm just got a headcrash to my 5TB HDD. There was so much data. I know there is no cheap way to recover the data.

MY QUESTION IS: I have Installed everything.exe for a long time and I think this Disk is in the library.
I have the "Everything.db" file (about 25MB) Is there a way to read this file so I can recover (see) the file structure of this?
For example the Drive Letter was O:/ so can I see the file structure and the file names in text? Is there a Converter or something?

It will be nice If you can help me.

I'm looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards

Sorry to hear about the hard drive crash.

Please try recovering a list of file names with the Database recovery tool.

the HDD just starts "crakles" and than shut down. so its no way to recover them with software tools. i only opinion was to read the .db file from the everything application.

Well if you can't copy Everything.db, intact, to a different drive (IOW if Everything.db is corrupt, if your HDD is in an inoperable state) then you wouldn't be able to open/read it in Everything either.
