  1. I tried to connect the hard drive directly to a different Windows machine but the drive was not recognized. I was able to create an image (.img file) of the data partition and saved to an external hard drive. Unfortunately, because the data partition had some corruption, I could not mount the disk on Windows using tools such as OSFmount or FindandMount. Is there any way to point Recuva directly to an image file? Thank you.
  2. Running a recovery version of Windows 8. Because of the corruption of the C:\, I can't run Windows Explorer, which is why (I assume) the Browse for Folder window comes up empty. My question is whether there is any way to specify a destination folder (e.g., a flash drive) other than selection through the Browse for Folder window. Again, I appreciate your assistance and note that Recuva is the only the program I have found that can even find the files that I would like to recover. Thank you.
  3. Appreciate the prompt reply. My challenge is trying to move the files from the corrupted C:\ drive to an external medium. Recuva is the only program (of several that I have tried) that can even identify the files--the other programs that I have run have been unable to navigate the corrupted file structure. But in attempting to recover the files that Recuva had detected, I cannot give it a location for writing--when I clicked on the Recovery button, I did not get the file tree view window, clicking Make New Folder did not work, and the OK button remained grayed out. Is there any option when running from a command prompt to provide a default location for file recovery? And do you have a recommendation for a different approach to moving the files to an external medium? Again, I appreciate your response and note that Recuva is so far the only recovery program that has even gotten me this far. Thank you.
  4. I am trying to recover files from a correputed Windows 8 laptop hard drive. The computer will not boot, so created a boot flash drive and also loaded recuva portable onto the flash drive. Was able to boot the system and run recuva64 from the command prompt. Recuva scanned the hard drive (c:\) and identified the files that I wanted to recover, appear to be in Excellent shape. However, when I clicked on the Recovery button, I did not get the file tree view window, clicking Make New Folder did not work, and the OK button remained grayed out. My goal was to recover the files back to the same flash drive from which I booted, but I could recover to other external devices if needed. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
