hi all this is not a critique of the excellent recuva.
the problem I notice is when I click secure overwrite ticked files it says it cant do that for certain files as these are in \MFT.
no ,y q is why would windows 8 put in a mft stupid file from browsing the net such as a pic or a file from the yahoo main home page how can these sort of files be mft important?
does any one here please know the answer to this q what criteria does win 8 use to allocate any file to the mft.
thanks guys
As you've been a member for two years I'm surprised you haven't come across the many times this has been explained here, including this http://forum.pirifor...wtopic=39391 posted only yesterday.
I can't really understand your third sentence but the Master File Table is where information about all files is held (on NTFS volumes) and without it you wouldn't be able to find anything on a disk. It isn't specific to Win8. Use CC Wipe Free Space/Wipe MFT to clear those entries, or read my link.
