Brabazon Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 HI. Just wondering if Im doing something wrong here. I can run Recuva and it lists files on a corrupt HDD OK but it doesn't stop there. The percentage has gone up as far as 304500% and down to 500% at random intervals and over a million files found, the only way to stop it is by cancelling. Is this a problem and is it then supposed to go to step 2? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 11, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 11, 2010 Sounds like you are doing deep scan and/or include non-deleted files, this seems to be occuring with this mode. ignore the percentage and wait for a while (like multiple hours in the tens-of range) and it will finish ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

MeiR Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hello guys. As I'm typing this reply, Recuva is scanning a 320GB SATA hard drive (damaged NTFS that became RAW), connected externally with USB adapter. I'm experiencing same problem as Brabazon did, with few differences. * I did choose deep scan and include non-deleted files, as Nergal assumed. * After about 3 hours, the scan is on step 1, found 13470 files. * In my case, the percentage is not random, just goes up and up (currently above 25,000,000% !!!). * The progress bar switches sometime from completely full to completely empty. * The estimated time left jumps randomly from 5 days to 24 to 17 to 34 etc. Brabazon, I want to know please what has happened finaly with your scan, and if I should wait. Some fact to mention: Before Recuva, I tried to scan the hdd several times with GetDataBack. It found lots of files, but every time stopped at some bad sector, which caused to the media to disconnect, and screwed the scan. Perhaps Recuva also behaves this way when it gets to this bad sector? The good thing is that the hdd stays connected and responding. Thanks in advance for your cooperation Meir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
