I decided to try Recuva and am using ver 1.47.948. I had accidently deleted some files from a networked computer so I wanted to recover them. I first let Recuva scan the folder where the files had been. It took 3 hours and came back with themessage "Incomplete results. NTFS, 699GB. Cluster size: 512. file record size: 1024. Found 0 file(s) (277,689 ignored)."
I then decided to scan the entire hard drive and checked the all the options on the "scanning" under the "Actions" tab except "Scan for non-deleted files..". This scan took 5 hours and gave me the identical message above.
For a 3rd try I deleted some files I no longer needed and left them in the Recycle Bin. Scanned full hard drive again and still the same results.
For a 4th try I emptied the recycle bin, scanned again and once again same results.
Recuva is NOT finding ANY deleted files. Why? I have followed instructions to the letter and double checked everything.
Please help!
