I'm using an older portable version of Recuva (v1.46.9.1.9) to deal with the 'long file path' error when it came to transferring files I found occur with later versions. This time transfer of files had been going really smoothly with no error.
The problem I face now is that during a short power outage the external HDD I had scanned shut down and turned on again (it is attached to a laptop, so there was no loss of the scan results). Now when I go to recover/transfer selected files, the transfer fails saying 'Device is not ready'. I have tried to transfer the files across after causing the external HDD to 'wake up' from its dormant state, but still getting the same error
This is done with Windows 7 64-bit and the files are being transferred to the laptop's HDD.
Is there a way around this, or am I having to do a full scan yet again to try to get the rest of the files? Thank you!
