mr don Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I tried to recover data recently from a harddisk that I connected externally to a USB drive enclosure to read it on my pc. First, I tried Recuva to see if it would recover any data at all from that user folder, & it failed to see anything. Next, I tried Handy Recovery, & when I navigated to that directory, all the data was visible & recoverable. I was just wondering if there is something that Recuva is missing or isn't checking that Handy Recovery is? Perhaps it is reading at a lower level than Recuva is? Why is Handy Recovery able to recover all the data on the password protected user account & Recuva cannot? It is a standard password protected XP Pro account, E:/Documents and Settings/Emanuel Just wondering if there is a way of scanning to produce more results that Recuva is missing? I am puzzled by what Handy Recovery is doing different that Recuva isn't... Also, some drive have a long scan time, especially large ones. There is a pause on Defraggler, so why not Recuva as well?
