Dear Hazelnut, thanks very much for your prompt reply. Yes I have done them, and something interesting came up.
I have found much of the pictures I am looking for. I can identify them by their file name. They have shown up in Recuva upon a deep scan, however it says "no preview available" and when I recover them, the files are physically recovered. I can click on the files, but the pictures cannot be displayed. The file size is substantial(2MB) and it is reflected as having taken up space on my laptop.
When I try to open the said file, it says "Photo gallery cant open this picture or video. The file format is not supported, or you don't have the latest update to photo gallery"
I think we are very close to recovering the files. Anyone please advise freely, help is very much appreciated!
Regardless of the outcome, I would be making a financial contribution to Recuva and its team.
Regards.
