Hi you experts, just started PC this morn and found a notepad text file I had on desk top had dissappeared.
So, bought Recuva professional? and a cd for recovery, cost near £30.
Not much use if it cant check this No2 hard drive, strangely, this PC only has one hard drive, it is a brand new replacement for ex WINXP which died at Christmas, it's an HP 460 a060na, never asked what OS it had in it, too late to take it back, but I am sick of win 10 already, settings I make revert without explanation, get bullied by microsoft to use exclusively their products,.....anyway, ticked all boxes on the recuva, set it to scan, went out when it estimated 2 hours, came back 3 hours later it said 17 hours remaining"estimated", it was 16 per., cent., done...???, so I ended it, tried system restore point....failed due to unknown error...
Well, I am not impressed with Recuva, would like to have seen a setting to recuva simple notepad text docs., but just some fairly unspecific choices......
I would be over the moon if someone can tell me how to accomplish this seemingly simple task to recuva a notepad txt doc.,
would appreciate any assistance, thanks for being here in advance.....
I may require a refund and send it back. well, we'll see, cheers.
PS, notepad text doc. was on desktop when shut down PC last night.
