kyy

I wouldn't use any software that is stopped by DEP detection. The last I'd do is to touch the DEP settings to get a faulty software working. I'd give Restoration a try first. You can download it here: http://tinyapps.org/downloads/rest2514.exe

<sigh> No response so far. Are they reading this forum?

I just did and let it run for more than 3 hours. Still the same effect, except it went in couple of minutes to 99% (see the image) and hanged there. Recuva becomes unresponsive and the process must be killed in order to exit Recuva. BTW, there's an error in that documentation. The debug log file resides in "C:\Users\<user_id>\" directory instead of the installation directory. Glary undelete, instead, responds to cancel command, and then let's you try to restore the files it has found. Recuva_log_1_30_435__6_9_2009_17_4_.txt Recuva_log_1_30_435__6_9_2009_17_4_.txt

Recuva does not work for me (Win7, trying to restore files from 500GB USB HDD, Drive is only 30% full). Always halts at 73% during Stage 1 of 2: Scanning drive for deleted files. If it helps, Glary undelete (http://www.glarysoft.com/gun.html) doesn't work either. It halts at 34%. Fortunately, Restoration still works for me.
