sniggid Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi all. I have a 1TB drive that lost its partition for some unknown reason. I re-formatted it and tried to recover files with recuva. After 3 days it shows 40 files found and 0 % progress. If I cancel the scan the list of found files shows approximately 340 files found. I am running a deep scan. Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Moderators Nergal Posted July 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2019 A deep scan on a big drive will indeed take a very long time. 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.

Admin Dave CCleaner Posted July 23, 2019 Admin Share Posted July 23, 2019 How does it go if you start with a regular scan first?

Moderators Augeas Posted July 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2019 Simply reading a 1 tb disk (at around 150 mb a sec) should take about two hours, if my maths is correct. Recuva does rather more, it runs a normal scan first (which should be a few minutes only) and during the deep scan has to correlate the used (live) clusters with the unused, compare the first section of each cluster with a table of known file headers, build up a list in memory of what valid files it has found, and do all the other things I can't think of at the moment or just don't know about. In any event three days is silly. I doubt if anything good will come if Recuva ever finishes, but what it's doing heaven only knows. I guess it's an HDD, USB?
