Recuva found all my files, but "the system cannot find the file specified"..

Dear forum users

I scanned a not so well working harddisk, which I formatted, and I am trying to recover pictures.

Recuva found a lot of pictures and they appear to be in excellent condition.

However, when I want to recover them, in about 3 or 4 seconds I get the message "the system cannot find the file specified".

So nothing gets recovered.

I would really appreciate some suggestions!

Thanks,

Mascha

Where are you trying to recover them to? (hopefully another drive)

Is the other drive 'started' ?

I have the exact same problem. In my case i have put the once OS drive into an external box which mounts as D: but is not readable by the OS. I ran a deep scan for pictures (though pictures and video would have been a nice option to combine), it ran overnight but the PC went to sleep. When I woke it up, the drive light shows it's active and i also power cycled it after getting the message above. No previews shown for any pictures. Using up to date Windows 10.
