I'm beginning to think you're running a scavenger, one that scans
through the disk for recognizable file headers and tries to

fragments once, and it was a total waste of time.)

maybe the tools you used didn't work well. the better tools not only
find the names, but also the file/folder hierarchy, and can reconstruct
as much as it can.
