[LINUX_Newbies] FAT32 file recovery

 

I had a large file of movies (5gb) and they just vanished one day.
If I look at the free space on the drive it's self it gives me 332 mb free. If I highlight all the files and click properties, it totals 2.1 gb. The drive is 8gb in size. I know my files are there, Linux just can't "see" them. Running testdisk gives

Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 255 (FAT) != 247 (HD)
Warning: Incorrect number of sectors per track 63 (FAT) != 62 (HD)
1 * FAT32 0 1 2 1022 53 46 15654177 [name 8GB]

Warning: Bad ending sector (CHS and LBA don't match)

*replaced my name with the word name for security....

These are my only backup of these movies so I would really like to recover them. I'll make a backup as soon as I get them back.
Thanks.
