Hi Augeas Sorry - there is no mistake. One of the directories that got converted to a file was my "Documents" where I had copies of all my standard doc files (private letter, official letter and so on and the copies of private letters I wrote to be transfered to my home PC). in short one of the most used directories of the usb stick. Another was a directory with drivers for my mouse, usb camera et cet. A third was different links. Klaus Yde

I have just downloaded Recuva to help my oldes daugther to recover some pictures on her lapTop. Before that, I would test the program and installed it on my work PC and asked Recuva to scan my 4GB usb stick. It found of cause multiple deleted files without any problems - so far so good. But when I accessed my usb stick a little later several directories where missing and as I found out, converted to unreadable files! Next I borrowed a copy of Active Undelete 7.04 and tried to recover my files and directories - but without any luck - luckily i have a recent backup of the stick - but I dont think I want to use or recommen Recuva to anybody - unless i get an expalanation of what went wrong. The PC is a standard HP workhorse with Win XP sp2 and normal MS programs installed. Klaus Yde Denmark
