janc Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi I just downloaded and tried Recuva for the first time. After some scanning activity it says 'Unsuffiecient memory available' (in Dutch: Er is onvoldoende geheugen beschikbaar). I have 2GB memory, 1GB free. Using XP sp3 with lots of free diskspace and scanning a accidentily formatted SATA HD using a USB 2.0 connection (took it out of the PC to connect it to mine). Could it be my TMP folder (on a 2 GB partition)? last lines of debug file (Recuva_log) [2009-10-11 15:00:41] [WARN ] Exception information not saved [2009-10-11 15:00:41] [iNFO ] 2777795 / 340458 [2009-10-11 15:00:41] [iNFO ] Exiting scan [2009-10-11 15:00:41] [ERROR] bad allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ePost Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Most likely it's a mistake. XP misinterpreted Recuva's activity on the disk as used space. Which of cause is wrong. Recuva only occupied the territory temporarily. If you have Deffragler installed you could run it's analyse function. Chances are that the display will show the usual amount of freespace.

Thanks for the answer. Later on it did not happen again and Recuva did it's job. janc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
