A friend asked me to install Windows 7 on his external hard drive, without deleting his 600GB worth of content (Hard drive has 1TR space). I had to split his drive in half (One Partition = 800+GB — Second Partition = 90+GB). I was gonna install Windows 7 on the second one BUT the thing is that I accidentally formatted BOTH partitions and all of his content is now gone.
I downloaded RECUVA since everybody said it is the best way to recover your lost data and I started scanning, which, honestly, took several hours.
Now that the scanning is done (708.000+ files found), I’m wondering IF I can turn off my computer and continue with the recovery the next day. Will the scanning results still be there if I turn it off?
If I recover half of the files today and spend plenty and plenty of time, can I rest my computer system and continue with the rest of the files the upcoming day?
(Note: I plan to recover everything back to the SAME formatted hard drive - I don’t wan’t my friend to realise and get upset, cause I’m pretty sure he will be.)
Thank you so much for reading!
