after completion RECUVA only offers a CANCEL button?

[bromberg]

My Vista PC issued a message one day that it could not find the OS. My recovery attempts were futile so I was forced to reinstall the OS from
the vendor-provided partition on the same HDD. The PC boots just fine now but naturally I lost all of my personal data.

 

As you can see from my attachment, after running for ≈6 hours, RECUVA eventually did complete, however all I was offered was to click on the CANCEL button and was unable to proceed any further. What should I do to continue the recovery the next time I run RECUVA?

Considering that I have reinstalled the OS and have not used the PC since the failure (other than attempting to recover my data), how likely is it that Recuva can access my lost data?

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

I'm not seeing the attachment Dan.

 

As to your chances of recovery, I'd go out on a limb here and say very unlikely considering the activity the drive has had to reload the OS and your standard operating environment (printer, AV, Office etc).
