I looked around a bit to see what might help you.  Appears that files over 4gb are difficult to recover.  Two programs (reported) that seem to be up to the challenge are:

http://www.r-studio.com/

and

http://www.yodot.com/file-recovery/


Make sure you ghost an image before trying out either of these (or other) tools.  Then you can experiment on the copied image.

well found out why its so hard to recover truecrypt files.

a normal file has a signature at the start and end turns out truecrypt files are random from the very start to the very end (makes it almost impossible to recover even if its just been deleted, unless you know where the start and end is)

luckily im the lazy type and its a copy of another truecrypt file so its the same random mess of numbers for the start and end  which means using r-studio i can now run a custom scan and find the start and end of the file do i know where it is and can recover it.

if you drop your BTC address here or pm ill send you the tip Smiley
