I never got to the point where it asked where I wanted Recuva to save anything it finds. That is the problem.
My PC Info/Specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 1.09 GHz
RAM: 2.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1
C Drive Capacity: 232 GB
Free Space: 88.3 GB
Error Message from Recuva: "Failed to scan the following drives: C:: Not enough storage is available to process this command."
The scan does not complete. It never gets to the point where I choose which files I want to keep and indicate where I want it to put them - which would be on a flash drive.
Any ideas? Is my PC too old or not enough RAM or what? From what I have read on these forums, Recuva doesn't require "disk space" to scan the drives. So, I really don't understand what to do here. Thanks much for your help.
