  1. Not sure if I can help here but I'm assuming you are trying to restore a Windows-formatted disk? According to their product info Recuva doesn't support some OSes such as Mac & Linux, see this page: http://www.piriform.com/docs/recuva/introducing-recuva/system-requirements Another question: did you try a Deep Scan? I mention that but I don't think it addresses the problem you are having since it sounds like Recuva isn't even recognizing your HD from your description.
  2. Yeah, and those saved results are almost useless, depending on how many files were in it. I ran a Deep Scan in Recuva and it returned over 1 million records. But some 600,000+ of those records are either unrecoverable or have a poor to very poor chance of being recovered. I saved that list of a file hoping to do a better job of sorting and pruning in ways that allow me to manage the remaining 400,000+ files but, no, Recuva apparently didn't think to save out the State information telling me which files have a chance of being recovered or not. To be honest I only expected to find maybe 4 virtual PC files on this disk and possibly one or two other folders with 10-1000 files at most (I can't remember if I'd saved anything else to that drive other than these virtual PCs). But 1,000,000 records? Not sure how I'm going to pare that down to something manageable. I tried TestDisk but it is quite arcane and not helping me. Maybe I'll try Easus as someone else mentioned on these forums.
