strikefreedom Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 im using windows 7 32bit. i tried recuva out by emptying recycling bin as well as shift+del a file. i then immediately scan it with recuva and it just cant pickup the stuff i just deleted. the samething happens with deep scan. however, the samething happens with ntfs undelete. so im thinking is it my computer's problem? tried reinstall, restart, uninstalled microsoft security essential, samething. any ideas? thanks edit: also, why is it finding files dated back from 2005, when i got my machine few months ago?

ePost Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Recuva's support for Windows 7 is only preliminary. I'm not familiar with other programs but perhaps there are other freewares out there that can help?

ePost Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well, no I don't think so. But Windows 7 is not out yet som it's no wonder that the freeware isn't ready. Was it this one you tested?
