I am trying to recover some pics off an old laptop hard drive that crashed and was reformatted. I performed a deep scan using Recuva and a hard drive adaptor and it found the pictures. When I check the pictures I want to recover and hit recover, it cycles through and states that 0 files were recovered as "the device is not ready". Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi again, I guess you might have solved the problem allready but anyway:

I just restarted the pc , the program, and yes it does take som time but after the restart and a new search all seems to work out well!!!
I'm at work now, but my pc is at home doing the job for me ;) I've already checked some of the jpg´s and they are all right!
If all worked out well by tomorrow morning, I will seariously consider a donation for this great program!

I should add that I bought another e usb hard drive to restore the files to, as it was promted by the program.
Thanks for now
