Hi.
I am trying out Recuva for the first time. So far everything has gone smoothly and relatively quickly.
Some quick back ground:
After starting windows 7 I was promted to do a chkdsk before booting up. Thought nothing of it and said yes. As the chkdsk completed I saw a stream of deleting file messages. UG!
I checked my D drive and sure enough over 400G was gone.
In comes Recuva to the rescue, I hope.
I did a deep scan, enabled almost everything and amazingly the scan found about 500000 files in the estimated 4hrs. Awesome! Loving this product.
Sadly it did not find most of the file structure. chkdsk most have done something very wrong.
Now I selected to recover to a 1.5TB drive and I got a nice window estimating 11hrs. Everything kicked off and 45 files reappeared right away. Then it hit one file and has been stuck on this file for 4hrs. I can hear the drives running but nothing else has shown up even though the popup currently says 40% complete. Is this typical or has something gone wrong?
The file name freaks me out as well.

Thanks in advance!
