This message is directed to people who have had experiance recovering large
hard drives.  I have a 300 meg hard disk that has a crashed directory.  
I have tried many things in my attempt to recover the drive...here is what
I have done.  
SUM - Says that most of the files are bad (they are not)..I had to make my
	own recover params.
1st Aid kit - Wont recover folders...Thats right, all 15,000 files are put
	into 1 folder.  The program shows me hierarchy, but wont reproduce it.
	It has to be done by hand....
Disk First Aid - Says it cant verify the disk.

The disk has no bad sectors. I am able to recover any file I want with 1st Aid 
kit so I know the data is ok.  I REALLY dont want to have to recover the drive
1 folder at a time...I have started this, and I have gotten very little done
in a large amount of time.
HELP!
