Hello,
I try to recover a deleted photos. When the program finish the scan, I press recover and I get the error:
"The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer vailid"
Even thought the circule color next to it is green. It happans even if I try recover only one picture with green color.
Thos pictures are very important to me and I will appreacate any help.
Thank you.
sounds like you're using the harddrive you are attempting to recover from. are you trying to restore the files to the same drive they came from? Are you using the computer to do anything during or after the scan but prior to recovery?
Hello,
I have scanned picture from my phone internal memory(SGS2), and than recover to the computer hard drive. So no, I dont try to recover the files to the drive they came from. And no, I didnt try to do anything while the recover and closed all other programs.
Thank you.
I don't have a smart phone, but I'm sure they must suffer similar indignities to a computer, and that is temp files created by apps.
Your phone, and/or it's apps will probably be writing to itself most of the time, and as Nergal suggests, this problem is usually a case of overwritten files.
I'm sure one or more of our smart phone users will confirm that or not.
Just a thought.
So, are you both saying the pictures are lost even thought the program recognized them?
Please can anyone help me? This program doesn't do what it build to do-recover pictures?
Thank you.
Try google. There are 25,000 hits for "The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer vaiid"
This one seems to offer some help.
Hi, thank you for the link, I tried to do those steps:
Following worked for me:
1. Open C:\Boot (accept warning)
2. Rename BCD to BCD.bak
3. Open Command Prompt as Administrator
4. Type: bcdedit /import C:\Boot\BCD.bak
But I cant find the folder c:\boot? Do you know where I can find that folder?
Thank you.
I don't have that folder on my XP machine, so I'm assuming you have Win7 or later?
It's probably a hidden system folder. See if this helps ...
not a part of windows per se
I found http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=366735
but we're getting off track as whatever that solution came from I do not thing it is the cause (red herring)
please recuva in debug mode and post the log here
(couple of notes, place " before c:\ and after recuva.exe, replace c:\program files\recuva with the location of your recuva, replace recuva.exe with recuva64.exe if your PC is 64-bit Windows)
I would like to demur. Whilst that specific hit may not be valid we can't rule out effects not related to Recuva, as those 25k hits for the search terms in quotes show.
Thank you both for all your help! I will soon upload a post in debug mode.
