I'm a new user of Recuva, which I want to use to recover the data from a C: drive, which was apparently erased by a virus attack.
I have performed a deep scan, and after a couple of hours Recuva displays a list of deleted files (app. 200000), some of them in excellent condition, some with partly or fully clusters.
After that I select the files by checking the 'select all' check-box, and the boxes for all files are checked.
Then I click the [recover] button, and a window for selecting the destination of the recovered files pops up.
This window, however, only contains the three buttons [Create new dir], [ok] and [cancel]
I see no way to actually enter the destination path. (which would be D:)
Clicking the [create new dir] has no effect, clicking [ok] or [cancel] both just close the window.
No files are recovered.
I also did this with scanning the d: drive, select a single file, click [recover], same empty window.
I would create a new folder using Explorer, and then when you click on Recover Checked and the destination box pops up open up my Documents (or wherever the new folder is) until you get to the new folder, and then press OK.
It is better, and in your case with a large number of files to be recovered, to make your destination folder on another device or partition. If you recover to the same partition the files you are recovering will be merrily overwriting files still to be recovered.
200,000 files is a huge number though. Make sure you have enough space to hold the new files, and prepare to wait for some time.
That's strange. You don't even have My Computer? I don't have an answer to this. Are you running the portable or installed version of CC? You could try a reinstall, or download and run the portable version (from other builds) on a flash drive, but I'm just groping here.
