I have (had?) the following large movie file:
Filename: alaska.avi

Recuva found it during a deep scan of my external USB hard drive. I think the drive was accidentally quick formatted (that's just a guess though). When I try to recover the big file to another drive, Recuva writes out a file that's exactly 3.99 GB (4,294,705,152 bytes) and stops. I have one other large file, and I get the same results. Exactly 3.99 GB (4,294,705,152 bytes), no more. The source hard drive (the one I'm recovering from) is NTFS, 465GB, cluster size: 4096, file record size: 1024. The target hard drive (the one I'm recovering to) is FAT32 and has plenty of space. I had excellent results recovering everything else on the drive under 4GB in size... all 32,000+ files! So I'd like to believe/hope my big movie is still intact and I'm just hitting some simple issue. Any ideas?...
