I am attempting to recover files from a laptop that will not boot from the hard drive.
I have booted using a Bart PE CD with Recuva on a USB flash drive. Recuva has found lots of files however when I click the Recover... button I get a blank dialog with 3 buttons at the bottom. Below "Select location for recover", there is nothing!
I think a standard File Open dialog will fail when it cannot find C:\. For example, the Bart PE File Management Utility does not work for apparently this reason.
Is there a way to set the default location for recovery to be my flash drive?
I had the same issue. Co-incidentally I lost an H: drive which was a RAID10 array of 4 disks. Luckily I keep my system drive separate so I could reboot OK. I had the same issue of a blank dialogue box when selecting the recovery folder and found this was due to my user profile being deleted along with the failed array. Once restored, it was OK and I could recover the files.
