Hi Everyone,
I did a secure a secure overwrite on a document which I had deleted, and when I rescanned the same document came up, but Recuva said that the state is 'excellent', and that no overwritten clusters have been found. The info showed the first 128 bits at all zeros, though this later changed to various characters after the file apparently had been overwritten with other data from the computer, and the state now says 'poor' and that the file has been overwritten by another. At each phase I could recover the file, but on attempting to open it PowerPoint has every time said that there was a problem with the content, and an error accessing the file. I'm simply asking - does this mean that the file is truly unrecoverable, or could it be restored?
Thanks
Matt
