.NRG File Recovery after Copying to FAT Hard Drive

Nero is an optical disk authoring application for Windows. It uses .NRG CD image file format to create and burn CD/DVD images. Other than Nero, a number of applications can mount this file on virtual drives for reading. .NRG files can also be stored on hard drive or any other storage media/device. There are some situations where .NRG file may become inaccessible if you copy a large sized file (more than 4 GB) to a FAT hard drive. This situation results into critical file loss and you need to opt for File Recovery solutions to sort out this behavior.
In a practical scenario, if you have some problems, like logical bad sectors, with your NTFS hard drive and you try to fix it by formatting the drive. Your .NRG file is still accessible and you can copy it to another drive. by mistake, if you copy this file, which is more than 4 GB in size, to a FAT hard drive, the file may get divided into several parts.
In such situations, the file can not be accessed. This situation occurs because FAT does not support more than 4 GB of file size. To overcome this problem, when you copy all parts of the file on NTFS hard drive, only the first part is accessible. This problem might take place due to file header corruption.
Nevertheless the cause of this problem, the ultimate result would be the loss of mission critical data and information from the .NRG file. In such situations, you need to recover the file from NTFS hard drive where it was previously stored as the file is still there. Formatting does not remove the original file. The file remains physically intact on the drive until it is overwritten.
File Recovery from a formatted hard drive is possible using third party File Recovery Software. These software are particularly designed to thoroughly scan the whole hard drive and salvage missing, lost or inaccessible .NRG and other files from it.
Most of the File Recovery Software come equipped with interactive and simple graphical user interface and thus do not demand sound and prior technical skills to retrieve lost file. These software always perform safe and original recovery of your files as they have read-only and non-destructive conduct.
