Recuva not functioning quite right

Dfigz · August 10, 2007, 4:31am

Hey all

So I'm running Recuva for the first time and when I start it up and press scan the scan bar comes up and disappears almo0st instantly, I ran it in debug and got this message in the install directory

[2007-08-09 21:26:24] [ERROR] Exception: DriveNamesEnumerator.cpp(46) : The device is not ready.

any thoughts, this sounds like a great program and would be really helpful. Thanks for your time.

Can you tell me if this is happening on your system drive? If it is, does it successfuly scan other drives.

I just have it scanning my C:\ drive, which is my only drive besides the dvd and cd-r.

Do you have a removable drive you can try it on, e.g. a USB thumbdrive?

Nope just the one drive

I am experiencing the same problem and have tried Recuva on a second hard disk. Maybe this will help diagnose things.

Recuva 1.04.104 consistently crashes while scanning my C drive (system drive) but works fine while scanning D drive (another hard disk).

On C drive, Recuva progresses from 35-55%, shows a number of files identified (30 - 550) and then crashes. This happens every time with it scanning more sometimes and less other times, but never more than the 55% mark. This happens in regular and debug mode.

I run CCleaner on the C drive and do not use it on D drive.

The debug error_log reads:
