Note: Yes, I have looked this issue up. However, none of the topics found have given me any working solutions.
I'm trying to recover a 1TB drive on a 2GB RAM Windows XP PC. My paging file is set to 4096MB. When I run a deep scan, Recuva always stops at around 4% claiming that the drive couldn't be scanned due to lack of available memory- but I have never seen memory usage go above 200MB, and CPU usage over 20%. I run a minimal amount of processes while Recuva is scanning. Is it a bug and if it is, how do I fix it? Is it an issue with the PC itself?
