Google Translate (with manual fixing):

I has a file (TS Transport Stream MPEG2 file) with a size of 2 GB to copy from location A (PC HDD NTFS) to B (VU+ flash drive EXT3/4). This has failed, as a result only 1.7 MB has been copied. By mistake I then overwritten the same file  vice versa from B to A. But because the original file used to be bigger in size the another video data must been existing on that PC hard drive. However i don't know it is posssible to restore that data. (and usable)
 
So now I have 2 files of 1.7 MB at 2 locations. No (windows) system recovery is active on both disks. Is it still possible to retrieve the other data from the A drive in question? I have not written anything to that hard drive.

 

Original:

Is heb een bestand (TS Transport Stream MPEG2 file) proberen te kopieren van 2 nog wat GB van locatie A naar B. Dis is mislukt, hierdoor is slechts 1,7 MB gekopieerd. Per ongeluk heb ik toen vise versa van B naar A geoverschreven.

Nu heb ik dus 2 bestanden van 1,7 MB op 2 locaties. Op beide schijven is geen systeem herstel actief. Is het nog mogelijk de andere data van de betreffende A schijf terug te halen? Ik heb niets geschreven naar de betreffende schijf.

Assuming that an overwrite uses the same directory node structures and the same allocated blocks as the original file, I'd say your chances are close to none.

 

But you can always try with for example https://www.easeus.c...overy-software/, the free version only recovers 2GB, but that is enough for your purpose. And there are several tools available (don't know any Windows onces) that can stitch two TS files back together again...


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

@rocco99- I think, no chance ... replaced file is diferent than removed file...

Trying to explain something to Rocco99 is utterly futile.. Either he doesn't read or understand as he is preoccupied with his problems/demands.. It was a joke but it just flew by him.....
