Hello all,

I have installed Recuva and I have found that it doesn't seem to work correctly. It says it has found 2596 files when the searching box is running but then it only displays 27, it says at the bottom that it has found 27 and ignored 0 . I don't have anything in the search box. I tried testing it by creating a file and deleting it then emptying the recycle bin but when I scan it doesn't find that file.

Am I doing anytihng wrong?

Cheers

Phil

Recuva is unlikey to be able to restore a file that was created and then deleted immediately. This is because the OS will almost certainly re-use the MFT entry for a temp file. Basically the longer betwen when the file is created and deleted, the better the chance of a successful recovery.

Can you run Recuva in debug mode and post the log

So, I seem to have a problem recovering something.
I've not been able to find the files that were deleted and you mentioned above that "Recuva is unlikey to be able to restore a file that was created and then deleted immediately."

However, I have been able to quickly see the files that I was testing with, which were simply created and deleted. Instantly I could see them.

Any ideas? Here is the dubug log.
