txe1998 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi folks, as topic title says: is Recuva "read-only" software? In that it will not overwrite anything on the disk/card that you are trying to recover from? I had a look through the documentation for this and could not find it, maybe this could be included for reference in an update to those documents? Thanks in advance, TXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted April 14, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2009 During installation it will overwrite data, unless you install it on a drive you are not trying to recover from. When recovering you should also recover to a separate drive to avoid overwriting data. Apart from that I think Recuva is pretty harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data is on an external HD, so the installation [well, it's already installed] will not harm the data I am trying to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
