DeltaT Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi, When Recuva recovers a file, if I "recover" it back to the drive it is found on, does it simply re write the MFT/Directory entry or does it re-write it back to the drive? i.e. am I destroying/over writing other files yet to be recovered on the same drive with Recuva? OR, do I have no worries if it is re-writing the file again, wouldn't changing the MFT entry be easier and an advantage for users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted December 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yes you are likely destroying other files yet to be written. Not sure if your last paragraph is possible. You should with any recovery software restore to a separate drive 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.
