Moderators Nergal Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 sounds like you're using the harddrive you are attempting to recover from. are you trying to restore the files to the same drive they came from? Are you using the computer to do anything during or after the scan but prior to recovery? ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators DennisD Posted April 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 8, 2013 I don't have a smart phone, but I'm sure they must suffer similar indignities to a computer, and that is temp files created by apps. Your phone, and/or it's apps will probably be writing to itself most of the time, and as Nergal suggests, this problem is usually a case of overwritten files. I'm sure one or more of our smart phone users will confirm that or not. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mejok Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 So, are you both saying the pictures are lost even thought the program recognized them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 25,000 hits for "The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer vaiid" This one seems to offer some help. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprogeneral/thread/9f12f4e0-e2b7-4163-acc3-8cacb8a8997c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mejok Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi, thank you for the link, I tried to do those steps: Following worked for me: 1. Open C:\Boot (accept warning) 2. Rename BCD to BCD.bak 3. Open Command Prompt as Administrator 4. Type: bcdedit /import C:\Boot\BCD.bak But I cant find the folder c:\boot? Do you know where I can find that folder? Thank you.

Moderators DennisD Posted April 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2013 I don't have that folder on my XP machine, so I'm assuming you have Win7 or later? It's probably a hidden system folder. See if this helps ... http://www.sevenforu...-show-hide.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted April 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2013 not a part of windows per se I found http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=366735 but we're getting off track as whatever that solution came from I do not thing it is the cause (red herring) please recuva in debug mode and post the log here (couple of notes, place " before c:\ and after recuva.exe, replace c:\program files\recuva with the location of your recuva, replace recuva.exe with recuva64.exe if your PC is 64-bit Windows) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Moderators Augeas Posted April 14, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2013 I would like to demur. Whilst that specific hit may not be valid we can't rule out effects not related to Recuva, as those 25k hits for the search terms in quotes show.
