Scanning fails with the error

[vganeshrao]

Hi,

 

I am trying to recover the deleted files from the 8GB hard disk.

During the scanning process, when it completes 89% (almost it takes 1 hour)

automatically it stops and error message displayed on the status bar

as "The semaphore timeout period has expired".

 

It does not display any files after this.

 

I am not able to proceed further.

 

Please suggest me how to overcome this error to recover the files?

Is there any additional configuration required? I configured for Deep Scanning Option

 

Regards,

VGR

If you Google semaphore timeout period you will get around 17,000 hits. A quick glance at a few shows that it appears to be kind of a generic error message, and is not specific to Recuva. Many of the hits refer to networking problems, which I don't think apply in your case, or very large files, which might apply.
