It is essential that you do not try to Recuva files back into the Drive you are rescuing.

Have you chosen a destination with more than adequate free space to accept all 60000 files ?

I agree with Alan's post.

I have not seen this error before, so I don't really know what is the cause. Have you tried recovering a smaller number of files, for instance 5,000 or 10,000? If this works then you might be able to recover all of the files in a small number of steps.

Is this a space bug, or is this a filename bug?

If you are recovering, be sure to use a short file name such as D:/Recovered, rather than D:/Users/(user name here)/Documents and Settings/etc, etc, etc

Names that are too long will either be truncated, or not be able to be recovered. This is a Windows limit on name length.
