[Recuva and external USB drive]

Recuva attempts to scan the drive. It eventually shows me this error message:

 

Failed to scan the following drives:

L:The device is not ready

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

 

In fact, I bought a new drive and installed a fresh copy of Windows 8 on it. I installed the old drive as a secondary drive. So Recuva runs. Like Windows, however, it does not see the drive at all.

I have a Seagate 2 TB external drive that's gone wonky. Windows sees it, and shows the directory structure, but won't let me access any of the files.

 

So I tried Recuva. I set it to look for non-deleted files. It sees the drive as well but isn't able to find anything on the drive. Is there anything I can do to improve Recuva's results?

Somehow, what used to be my boot drive stopped booting. In fact Windows 8 doesn't see it at all.

 

Can Recuva find it and recover files?

Thanks, Dennis!

 

It worked perfectly.

Hi Stephen, and welcome to Piriform.

 

Yes, log onto the site and then close your browser, launch CCleaner and look in "Option\Cookies" for that particular cookie under "Cookies To Delete".

 

Move it over to the right pane, "Cookies To Keep".

 

If it doesn't appear in that left pane, post back.

[Can I keep one cookie?]

I'd like to keep a cookie that Firefox (and separately, IE8) keeps to log me into my browsing home page (myway.com).

 

Is there a way to do that?

 

Thanks
