yes...512 gigabytes (not megabytes). It's still working away. Can't bring myself to stop it in case I lose all the time already spent scanning! Current status: "Stage 1 of 3: scanning drive for deleted files Current progress: 48%, 623 file(s) found Estimated time left: 2 days"

What would you suggest? Start again? ....given that it is still making progress (albeit very slow progress). Now at 41%, still 3 days left... (thanks for your reply :-))

I am running Recuva scan on a 512gb SD card to recover photos from a trip. I has been running for approx a day and a half at this stage. "Stage 1 of 3: Scanning drive for deleted files Current Progress: 39%, 623 file(s) found Estimated time left: 3 days" Does this sound normal? It still seems to be making progress but so slowly. The number of files found sounds about right and hasn't changed since the scan started. Should we just wait it out? I think I picked 'deep scan'. Should I try again and just tick 'scan for non-deleted files'? The SD card hasn't been written over. We took it out of the camera and when we put it back in it wouldn't read it and asked for us to reformat it (which we didn't do). I'm reluctant to start again and lose all the progress made so far but it does seem to be taking an awfully long time. Any suggestions? PS not very tech savvy!
