Nope! I created the txt file on my E drive, and deleted it. I then ran the tool both on the C and E drive and do not seem to find the file. But then I realised the file was 1kb, I made the file 34kb and it worked. Perhaps the file is smaller than a cluser? Anyways, it works and me is happy

Cheers Augeas, I'll try that today and let you know...

Hello all, I created a txt file, wrote a line and then deleted it using normal Windows Explorer delete and then emptied the recycle bin. I then did a recover on the drive and the file did not appear in the list. At the time nothing else was happening to the hard drive so the cluster should not have been overwritten and I do have 150GB of free space. To be fair I have nt run it in Deep Scan mode as the drive is fairly large and it takes ages and seems to stop at 8%, (another problem?) Im using v1.22, Windows XP SP2 with normal format options. Thanks
