headscratcher Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I have accidentally formatted an 8GB hard drive [ouch]. As I do not have another large Drive to tranfer the 4GB data to I just tranferred half of it. The first original recovery took 17 hours to scan the 4 GB data. I am now scanning to recover the remainder and so rescanning the formatted disc again. This second scan is estimating 3 DAYS [and by the progress is probably correct]. Why is this taking so long the second time? I am on Windows 10 64 bit with 3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-2600K128 kilobyte primary memory cache1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache64-bit readyMulti-core (4 total)Hyper-threaded (8 total) Thanks in anticipation.

Moderators Augeas Posted August 12, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2017 Do you really mean 8gb, or 8tb? If you only had space to recover half of your data then where are you going to put the other half? How did you select half the data? Did you use any secection criteria in the Recuva scan, or somehow highlight or check half the data found? If you ran a full scan in the first place then you didn't have to run another. Why did you not just select the other half of the data without rescanning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
