List Deleted Files And Their Names From NTFS Drive

Mar 22, 2010

I'm trying to make a small app that reads MFT from a NTFS drive and lists deleted files and their names. The code is not ordered since its not finished yet. I made it basing on information a read at ntfs.com and some other examples found on the net. But the problem itself is the following. I have hard disk with to NTFS partitions, the main one having 250 GB and the second one having 1,5 GB. If I execute my code on the smaller drive, (using D as parameter for readfile api), I get the list of all deleted files exactly (I checked it with a recovery file app).

The problem is when I execute it on the other drive (C where Windows is installed, 7 if it matters), the problem is that I cant find any deleted file!!. The code gets all the files from MFT and then saves in a string variable only the deleted ones, I found that after deleting one file, it also disappears from the MFT (at least using my code). So, there may be some other way in which NTFS marks deleted files? As you see in my code, I iterate through the MFT entries and, from those that start with FILE, I take bytes 22 and 23 (0 base) and evaluate, if its value is 0 then its deleted, otherwise, it isn't (its a file or directory I think).

Public Structure SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES
Dim nLength As Integer
Dim lpSecurityDescriptor As Integer
Dim bInheritHandle As Boolean
End Structure

Writing Of Files Leaves Corrupt NTFS?

Jul 3, 2007

Basically, we have an application which batch creates a large amount of files (pairs of PNG plus ASCII). The file count can exceed the one million.The first time the application ran the results were quite disappointing. The files get stored in folder structures of maximum 2000 files per folder. The tree depth gets only to two levels (root + packs folders). So the results would be stored in folders like "pack1","pack2"..."packn" each containing no more than 2000 files (1000 pairs in essence).

So getting back to the results, what happened was that although the application reported over 1.4 million files written, the results were that files were missing from the filesystem and others were corrupt (PNG cant be read and ASCII were blank filled with spaces).The speed that the files were written was not anything great (about 7 files per sec) and the total size ranged from 160K to 1.5M (rarely). The PNG images are 2000x2000 in size although I doubt it has anything to do with my problem.

Everything is done in pure .NET (image and ascii generation).The OS that has been tried was Win 2000 Advanced Server, Win 2003 Server plus XP Pro. The hardware ranged from Dual Core Workstation to high spec servers. The irony is that on the XP system the number of corrupt files was quite low where on the other two all hell broke loose. There were event logs written stating Event ID 2021 on the Win 2000 system and Paging faults on XP, which lead me to the next approach.

We wrapped the code to do an Application.DoEvents every second and refresh various statistic UI components. We obviously added Stream.Flush().Plus we added code to check the files (re-read them) once they are written. Even added "WriteThrough" option to avoid the OS cache! The result was stuggering as no errors were report yet the NTFS table again got corrupted!Now we inserted Thread.Sleep(100) after writing and then reading to confirm the file. Obviously this is slowing down the process but hope to have more stable results.

Reading and article about Event ID 2021 we saw it was suggesting to modify registry values, but the IT dep did not wish to accept this as they believe it is an application error.In pseudo code, here is more or less what is done:

<try>
<Create Image in memory>
<Open stream to filesystem>

Reading And Writing Files On External Hard Drive, Code To Ensure SQL Or Data Read/write Execution In Case Of Periodic Drive Reconnect?

Dec 18, 2010

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

Files Not Being Created / Deleted

Jul 30, 2011

I have an app where a user enters information on a ticket and that ticket is saved off to a file on a share.Later on, when the ticket is closed or resolved, the file is deleted.Pretty straightforward.The below code is used to achieve this but, and this is the odd part, I'm finding that sometimes the app does not write the file and other times it will not delete it.I've confirmed that the user is running the latest version, that the tool isn't in off line mode, that all the appropriate criteria are set to true before entering the routines. It works 99% of the time but every so often it doesn't create/delete the file and there are no errors thrown or anything.Going into this section of code, chkOffline is not checked, "GoNoGo" is set to "Go", "Type" is set to "Live" and all fields have been filled out on the form(and vetted).What's more, there are other actions earlier in the app/sub that rely on these same conditions and those actions are getting carried out.[code]

Get Files Being Deleted In Windows

Feb 23, 2009

I want to create an application that will save the files being deleted from a flash drive into a part of the flash drive that acts as recycle bin. I want to capture the deletion event of windows so that I can copy the files marked as deleted. Is there a library that would notify my application if the delete event is being executed? If using FileSystemWatcher component, I cannot get the files being deleted because it will only notify after the file is deleted.

VB Code Case Statement - Added A List Box With A List Of Names

I am used to C like languages such as C#. I added a list box with a list of names. In the code behind I added the below code. When I run the code I am getting the MessageBox but it will state "UserName favorite color is " but does not show the color. I thought it might be misspelled or non-matching names but this is not the issue due to the names being correct.

Mvc - Saving Files And Names To Database Table Using For Each On Request.files

Mar 9, 2012

I have multiple file upload boxes on a form in my mvc3 application. Request.Files shows 3 files when I put a break point in the below function and look at it.. Problem is other than coding a counter and using a select case I dont see a way to handle saving each file name to the database column it belongs to... Is there away to assign the variable on the fly I guess you could say So that the foreach loop would drop the file in the correct column. Ie handoutFile1, handoutFile2 , handoutFile3, Etc. As it stands the below will overwrite the filename in handoutfile1 every time the loop is gone through. I thought about throwing a counter in the loop and just put a select case on it to assign the db column based on the counter number. Seems like a cheap work around though. [Code]

Copy Files From One Drive To Another?

Aug 3, 2011

I am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.

This is what I put so far:

vb
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click FileCopy.CopyFiles("G:SharedSFMachinesTemp&HumidityTracking", "C:Richard's Stuff") End Sub
