whs Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I was trying to download the beginners guide. But when I tried to open it, I received the message "Navigation page has been deleted" - or something like that. Then I was playing around with Recuva just to see what it might be able to do for me in case of an emergency. Well, I picked some recently deleted files (.pdf and .jpeg) that were marked as "Excellent". Could recover them alright - the .pdf looked like a normal Adobe file and the .jpeg looked like a generic picture. But when I was trying to open them with the respective programs, those programs could not deal with the filetype (supposedly corrupted). Is there some pre- or post-processing I have to do or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi whs, Looks like you have done everything correctly. Even down to testing the recovered files. You may already be using this link but just in case here's a good explanation about Recuva by one of the development team. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&...ost&p=95389 Welcome to the forum. davey P.S. There are very experienced Recuva uses and testers that may be able to tell you how to make those recovered files usable.Many things can happen to a file after it is deleted.

It was actually the same that I was using but at the time I was not logged in. That's why it was refusing my request. You live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a rule of thumb for how many "exellent" files will actually recover to a working state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
