Did you place the secure mirror on the drive you wish to recover to? If so it makes sense that it wouldn't have enough room

 

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.

Recuva is not the right software to make a mirror copy. How did you scan? Normal or deep? Did you check 'Scan for non-deleted files'?

 

However you scan you will always get all the deleted files, which could add up to a lot of data.

 

You would be better using some other copying software. Or you could just copy the old c drive complete to the new disk. Right click on F and select copy, paste to H.

Augeas, I think the pay version offers to create a vhd mirror before scan, I think that's what klaus is referring to.

You're English is fine Klaus, and welcome to the forum.

 

Two things.

 

Firstly, you say you have a new 1TB USB hard drive to copy the mirror image to. Being new, have you actually used that drive at all? Has it been properly formatted for use?

 

Some new drives are already formatted when you buy them, but some are not.

 

Secondly, because you have purchased Recuva, that entitles you to priority support from the developers of Recuva.

 

You can contact them here ...

Select "Recuva Professional" from the drop down menu bottom right of the page.
