New "Incorrect Function"

[saywot]

I have a 2TB disk with a single ext3 partition attached to a Windows PC via USB.

The host can see the /home directory and all sub-directories.

The drive lost all content in the 'Videos' directory - I don't know how or why but all other content is visible and available.

Recuva 1.53 is installed on the Windows 7 host, it installed without issue, I run the application as admin.

The scan starts but immediately halts with F::Incorrect Function

It progressed no further than 0%.

How can I scan this Linux drive ?

Recuva v1.53 is installed on a Windows 7 PC

The drive is ext3

"Recuva v1.51 is ready to download! This release sees a number of improvements to our file system support, including the addition of Ext2 and Ext3 support and improvements to the deep scan algorithm for FAT32 volumes."

I'm going to guess that this is as far as this post will get.

The storage drive has only one partition, and it's formatted to Ext3

- the permissions seem OK

 

Still "Unable to scan drive"

perhaps.

or it could be the either no-one knows, or the person that does, hasn't signed in to the forum yet and seen this thread.
