It would be better to install Recuva on a different drive/partition from the one that holds the deleted files, or install the portable version on a flash drive. This is because installing Recuva (or doing anything, even starting up your pc, on the drive/partition in question) will create temp and other files that will overwrite deleted files, reducing the chance of recovery. For that reason you should also recover any files to a different drive/partition/flash drive.
Thanks, both Augeas and Sune
What does a drive/partition mean? - that scares me!
If I did download onto my desktop (where the files are 'missing")
where would I save and execute it from?
or should I just download to my external hard drive and execute it from there? will that work?
(you said flash drive, is that the same as an external hard drive?)
If I did do this, how would the Recuva system know what my computer system is? (ie. vista 32 bit or 64 bit)
What is THE simplest thing for me to do?
Again, thanks for your help.

Hello Recuva forum.
This is the first time I have ever used a recovery program and am nervous because I am not a "techy" person.
So far it seems this program is very easy to use.
I am attempting to recover music/audio files (from an audio recording software called Audacity) that got "lost"
Question:
Do I download this software onto the same computer I am trying to recover the files from?
If no, then here is my situation.
My PC laptop is vista 64 bit
My PC desk top is vista 32 bit - the computer where my lost files are
I have an external hard drive if need be.
Please advise me as to how to get started.
Thanks very much for your help.
