David_ Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I have a 16GB Ram PC with a dedicated SSD for Windows 10 and a 1TB drive for work files. I needed to reinstall Win 10 and due to a EFI drive C formatting issue, it installed to my work files hard disk overwriting file table. Cloud backup stopped months ago without notifying me... I purchased Recuva and scanned the 1TB work file drive and was on day 4 of renaming and sorting recovered files (without turning the PC off). All looked as good as possible until last night the PC apparently rebooted... so now I'm waiting another 5 hours for a second deep scan.Suggestion: Since Recuva can almost instantly find all the files of a given type, when filtering per extension, it seems it must create a file allocation table with the results of its scan. If it does, why can't this be saved avoiding the need for repeating scans?Question: Can I work on my drive C SSD while Recuva deep scans drive D or will this negatively impact scan results - I seem to have read this somewhere, although it was a generic statement which may not apply to a 2 disk drive PC. Thank you! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted October 16, 2019 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2019 It's been suggested a few times before, and although there is a likelyhood that some file will be modified or unavailable on a restart, that also applies to a certain extent when running Recuva anyway. I doubt if will be implemented, given how many times Recuva has been updated recently (around zero). I can't see any real reason why you should not work on your system drive whilst running Recuva. It will slow things down a bit but I'm sure you can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
