deprite

Well it found several Damaged Partitions, and what should i say, the latest data was with one of them. Its restoring now. I will post some info when finished, if the files actually work (recuva sometimes restore, but the files don't work all the time..?) it would be quite some awesome piece of software

hey, well as stated up, it was formatted during the installation of windows 8,1 so it was formatted/deleted/shoot/cooked whatsoever gone wrong with the windows install format, i dont know how this one does it, but its dev to fast to be anything else then quick-format.(i guess) anyways, testing the software you linked just now, we`ll see

thanks for the bump, and sorry for the other thread, you are right of cause as a little add-on, i tested a couple other recovery programs (free trail but limited recover volume) they all have the same problem. So its seems to be some kind of totally lost sector on the disk..however it show the full capacity, and SMART say its in perfect health so no clue again.. well with that i lose trust and safe feeling with that storage..just gonna use it as temp file storage then Should recuva be able to find and recovery lost sectors, or is that simply impossible?

not sure about the topic opener, in my case it was a disk used alone for backup, without any traffic on it whatsoever, after format it was scanned immediately with recuva..still sorry for thread hijacking.. but it seems the same topic after all

as in my first post a couple of days ago, i have the same problem, recuva finds data back to 2009 on my formatted drive, but just around 2% of the data going back less then one year.. strange thing that is..haven't get any reply on it though..and still haven't figure out how that works..

Hello all, recuva is really a amazing software, that said i have a problem i kind of don't understand.. as a "new years" cleaning and because my USB3 Ports where somewhere deep in Windows drivers broken i re-installed Windows. As usually i delete all partitions in my SSD drive to make a really "clean" install of Windows 8.1 i dont know if i was really so stupid to format another drive (2TB WD 10k rotation) by mistake, or if the drive simply got a shot on chance by this time.. (i have 6 drives in all, SSD first the "lost" one last..the chance to click wrong, seems low at least ) anyway i run recuca on this WD Drive with all settings on (deep search, zero files, non deleted and so on) Recuva runs for around 7 Hours and find really many files, but all are between 2009-2012 but nothing more recently like 2013-2014 except for 2-3 folders in a unrealized folder system "?\" i am really clueless about what reason that could be, or if there might be any other way to retrieve the lost data.. any ideas? kind regards Flo oh, and sorry for my English..non native speaker..
