Winapp2.ini Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Perhaps you're overloading the CPU's? I'd test to see if I got the error too, but with millions of deleted files i wouldn't be back for days! winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 The error don't appear in all hard drives that i have used recuva, only in some of them, im going to see the number of files that recuva detects in the first pass before the error appears and the cpu usage of the computer (before, i have executed recuva alone and with other programs runing without any problem), also im going to use the /debug parameter to see if a logfile is created. PD: In the recuva folder there are some recovery files and folders, from various recoveries that i have done before, i have not selected the recuva folder as the destination folder, can be that a bug? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hello i have test again the recovery and in the log file, in the final lines apear too much times this: [ERROR] bad allocation I have attached the log file, and a .dmp file have been created but is emtpy How i fix this? It can be a damaged hard disk the cause of this error? can i bypass the bad allocation error? Thanks Recuva_log1_41_5371-12-2011_0-22.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Try running a chkdsk /f and see if that fixes it. I don't know much about Recuva, but a lot of issues with hard drives seem to be fixable with a simple check disk winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 But if I do that, I'm modifying the hard drive a lot and I think I can lose a lots of files of the recovery Is this safe? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have test the "chkdsk /f" comand in the hard drive and I do not think that has made many changes to the hard disk, but i have test again with recuva and the same error ocurrs The logfile its a little extensive than before Any ideas? Thanks P.D: In the new version of recuva the problem is still here, I have attached the log of the error in the new version of recuva "1.42.544" Recuva_log1_41_5371-12-2011_10-31.zip.zip] Recuva_log1_42_5442-12-2011_16-5.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Is there any new solution for this? I have the same problem at this time. With the Recuva version v1.42.544 I have the last log and the last dump file in this zip file. Thanks Esteban Recuva.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graz73 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm dissapointed that Esteban has not gotten an answer. I am having a very similar problem. "not enough memory" My hard drive had an accidental re-format. I was able to recover some files with another inferior program, so I know that they are still there... Any tips on using Recuva? It seems like its just what I need. - Windows VISTA - Recuva portable 1.38 (I think) - 3 gig of ram running almost nothing but recuva - The size of the drive I want to recover is 500 gig. Except for the windows reinstall that deleted everything, nothing is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodles Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) You should try the latest Recuva v1.42.544 (01 Dec 2011). http://www.piriform....version-history 32 or 64bit Vista? Edited February 23, 2012 by nodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graz73 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks nodles. I tried that newer version of Recuva too. I am on VISTA 32 Maybe running the scan with "deep scan" not checked would get me a better result? Would Recuva's tech support be of more help?

Sabo Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I too keep running Recuva in a Deep Scan on a large 1TB hard drive and the scan ends with "Ran out of memory." Please help! It takes 11 hours (according to the estimate) and have tried unsuccessfully three times. Its very time consuming and cannot figure out why it comes up with that message. I have plenty of hard drive space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankuitaalst Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi , I'm here while I have the same problem with a 1.45 GB disc : "to less memory ". I got this when I've checked "search" for all files which takes 1 hour to scan. Now I'm trying to search one file type after each other . Hope this helps . If this helps several runs for each file type might be necessary . Keep you informed , or in case someone comes with a solution .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted June 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 24, 2012 A scan for a particular file type will run a full scan and then filter the results, so I doubt if you will have any luck there. I can understand that running a deep scan on a large disk could cause problems, as there may be millions of files found. A deep scan on a small disk should be fine (I've just deep scanned a 160 gb disk with around 45,000 files found), unless you have limited memory or some memory hoggers running.

frankuitaalst Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yes , you are right . In all cases the full scan is executed and then in the list view only the selection comes . So there is no difference for what concerns the needed memory . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
