I have often experienced the following symptoms with Recuva:
- I accidentally delete a file (or close Firefox without saving tabs, and then want to recover sessionstore.js)
- I immediately fire up Recuva
- There are no programs open that are writing to disk (apart from Windows of course)
- The file is not recoverable anymore, and it says it is overwritten by another file, a file that is already (unchanged) on my disk for a long time (for example part of a program that I installed a long time ago), so this file can't have overwritten the file a try to recover.
How can this be?
My system:
Windows XP sp3, FAT32
Is Recuva working better with NTFS then with FAT32?
