Ok Alan_B. I was not offended in any way. And i did not Knew, about that. i trusted blindly on the technitian and now i see that i really shouldn t. I guess i was lucky in my case. Well, i guess we learn from our mistakes. Now if anything happens again to any of my HDs, i will do the way you told on your last reply. It seem surelly much more safe. Damm!!!! Damm!!!!, how could i´ve been so stupid and dumb untill now? I know this is not the place for this post, but Thank you big time for open my eyes. Cheers.

Hello. I am sorry if it is not the right place to post this but i am a bit desperate. i run ccleaner for a long time and it allways worked fine. But for the past 2 days everytime i run it, it will clean everything fine except the files in the windows log files on the windows explorer section on the windows cleaning tab. Note: i installed windows 8 enterprise 64 bit, 4 days ago. and i do not mess whit windows or system files unless the ones that already comes selected by default in ccleaner. So i think it is a pretty fair assumption to say i did not mess up my sisystem. I think, and hope hehehe!!! Can anyone help me with this? Please? I thank you in advance.

Well, what i meant was that the recovery process maybe taking too long because maybe the hard drive had bad sectors in it. About your reply Alan_b first- in my case that was what i did exactly, and it worked perfectly. If the disk fails, why cannot also have bad sectors which is what hdd reg repair. i had already 3 hd with the same problem and i used hdd reg and recover both the disk and the data on them. second- i am pretty sure that you can find a tool like hdd reg, but freeware. third-even if you can afford a new hd, if you can rescue it why then buy a new one? to tell your friends that you are filty rich? fourth- i did not recommended anything. i asked a question and told my personel experience. Follow it or not well, it is up to mkdevo and i really do not care.

Hello mkdevo. Forgive me if this is perhaps a stupid question/advise, but have you try to run a hard drive scan and repair tool like HDD regenerator? I had a problem with a hard drive in the past. It started to fail similar to yours, i tried to recover with recuva and other software but it wouldn t work. Then a IT technitian told me that the hard drive probably had some bad sectors and recomended me HDD regenerator. So, i ran the scan with it and it showed about 5 bad blocks. It took me about a day and half and over 3 repair attempts, but after that all bad blocks were gone. After that i ran the windows system files repair tool. After that i ran the recuva, scan again and started the recovery process of my files, and still it took about 3 hours and something but i manage to recover the important stuff. Hope this maybe can help???? I am not an expert in any way. Good luck.

Hello Cliffg. I am not a data recovery expert, but i exposed your case to a college of mine who works and specializes in data recovery. I won t guarantee you that he is 100% right, but he told me that you really have 2 option: 1- you go to a specialized company and of corse, pay for them to recover your data; or; 2- you can use recuva, or really any othe similiar software to try to recover. This last one can really be a "Hail Mary", since there is really no 100% guarantee that you can recover all data and at what state the data well be. I am sorry but he didn t told me if you would have to reformatt to NTSF, maybe is not a very good professional???? I am sorry i couldn t be of more help. Maybe one of the forum more expert member can give you a better answer and hopefully a better alternative. Good luck.
