Hi, I'm using Recuva v1.12.291 and Windows XP SP2

It seems that Recuva has problems with large files (> 4 GB). When I try to recover them (just after cut&paste to another drive), the application shows that the size of the file is 0 KB and it tags the file as Unrecoverable always.

Is the other drive to which you're pasting using NTFS? 4GB is the filesize limit for FAT32.

No, both units are NTFS.

Perhaps I didn't explained the bug clearly. I didn't lose the file when I did "cut & paste", I just checked the drive with Recuva, and I saw that the application didn't manage properly with large files.

Does this also mean you didn't try to recover the file? You simply saw its entry which made no sense.
