I have some CD-R's that I wish to discard.I have reformatted them in order to make an easy recovery by another person more difficult.I thought I would try Recuva to see how easy it might be to recover the document.When I run the wizard,and go to Browse in order to enter D,dvd drive, it gives me the list of drives.I highlight the D drive and it just stays on C drive.I have tried other CD's and my other dvd drive E with no joy.Will Recuva recover data from a dvd or cd drive or am I doing something wrong? Thanking You in anticipation of a answer to my problem.

Hi Davey I have tried your ideas above and the fault disappeared, both analysis and cleaned figures were the same. Whilst trying to replicate the fault I accessed different programs and then did an analysis and clean. I seem to have narrowed the fault down to using any Microsoft program ( Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel in my case ). Every test I carried out had the same result ....differing analyse and clean figures !!!!! No other programs or accessing websites via Firefox or IE caused the problem. I hope this helps in finding a solution. Thanks Again Tony

Hi Davey, Thanks for your prompt reply

I have been using CCleaner for a number of years but have noticed recently noticed large differencies between the Analysis data e.g. 4.1 MB to be removed and Details of files deleted e.g 20.3MB. Could you tell me why the big differences please. My local PC repair shop said it is probly a bug. Thank You
