Yes my disk is formatted. I couldn't find the file in normal scan, and have been using Deep Scan to find it. So MFT is the path? like it tells you where it is in the hard drive? Could i manually try to find it by clicking "RUN" and searching? I had found the file where it says ; backup, user, 3, Open Office. but my file wasn't in there... I hope i can find it.

How did you manage to recover files that were unrecoverable???? did you try it with documents like word, or Open Office? please explain.

by wiped I mean that they removed all the programs and internet, and put Windows XP Entertainement and Media, leaving just the basic functions. The novel was pretty large i don't know the exact size, it was on Open Office. i was wondering if i were to install open office on my thumb drive and install it on the computer.Would that help it to find it? the path- the part where is says where it is- says" c:\?\Open Office.org\3\user\backup . Pardon my inexperience but i think it can't find the "My Documents" folder,that's why it can't be found, because if it has the word processor and the place that it's in ( c drive) all it needs is the right folder. Could you explain what MFT is? Does that make sense?

Hello people of Recuva forums! I'm new to this whole tech thing and have spent the last 3 days learning about recovery programs and disk space. I installed Recuva on my pen drive and am using it to find my novel.After my brothers decided to wipe our computer. I have found the file and it says this : "No overwriteen cluster detected" and "0 bytes Unable to recover a file of zero size."I've read over some of the other forums and people have apparently been able to recover there things just as they were. So i wanted to know if anyone can help me with this, and get my file back, and please in a simple easy to understand way! Thanks for your helps in advance! I have fixed the issue and have retried my document, but not with Recuva, with Easy Recovery, it's a wonderful program and much more advanced and detailed then Recuva. Please use this program it will save you ours and days of trying to find your document. I'm not advertising for them i am just sharing information that worked for me.

epic! glad it worked!
