Hello all,

I am new to this, so please bear with me.

I have an ipod classic 160Gb hard drive that I backed up my unbelievably important files to using FBackup.

I think the files are still there, but the size of the archive mysteriously and suddenly went from 30Gb compressed to about 4Gb compressed.

I have researched extensively on google and have downloaded over a dozen data recovery and zip repair programs but nothing is working as of yet. i did get a favorable response from AZR, which said all my files were recoverable, but I am trying (as the broke bast*rd I am) to avoid paying the $50 to upgrade.

I downloaded zip carver tools, but am unsure as to how to use them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you
