madjax Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 GRRR!!! HELP!!!! Recuva has scanned & found loads of files on external HD. Some dating back years which I really do not need. In the comments section it says Overwritten by............ If when I go to recover, will I get back the 'Overwritten by..........' files? I have tried 'recover' to another big HD but it goes to 15% & just stops; no nothing coming from the original HD at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 13, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2016 Recuva will recover the current content of the clusters which were allocated to the deleted file. If they have been subsequently overwritten by another file then you will get the overwritten contents, not the original data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
