joopbraak Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have often experienced the following symptoms with Recuva: - I accidentally delete a file (or close Firefox without saving tabs, and then want to recover sessionstore.js) - I immediately fire up Recuva - There are no programs open that are writing to disk (apart from Windows of course) - The file is not recoverable anymore, and it says it is overwritten by another file, a file that is already (unchanged) on my disk for a long time (for example part of a program that I installed a long time ago), so this file can't have overwritten the file a try to recover. How can this be? My system: Windows XP sp3, FAT32 Is Recuva working better with NTFS then with FAT32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted July 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 11, 2009 That doesn't quite answer JB's question though, Hazel. I seem to remember something similar to this, but it isn't easy to reproduce (I imagine, I haven't tried). I can't think of a plausible answer.

joopbraak Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yeah, the bug I was reporting is mainly about Recuva saying a file you try to restore is overwritten with a file that can't have overwritten it, because the two files were existing together peacefully on my harddisk before I accidentally deleted one, and the other one hasn't changed in the meantime.
