Silicon83 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hello, A memory card is giving me trouble. It would appear the previous MFT is gone. It needs a full deep scan to get things back and they are visible when it starts. The problem is it will work for a minute or two and then cut out. Recuva is currently unable to assist, with a small modification it would be much more helpful. I have had this problem with hard disc drives in the past. The issue appears to be thermal and it is safe to assume it cuts out when surpassing a thermal barrier. Currently the software cuts out after a few minutes, the media appears to disconnect and reconnect itself to the system or just lacks the correct channel (there is no Windows 'disconnect/reconnect' sound). If Recuva could just be made to slow down its reads it may complete the task, albeit at a variably slower timeframe. A suggestion would be a slider with full to minimum. Slider positions could be configured for 'normal' with decreasing values to 1 kilobyte per second (maybe additional options to 1 bit/s could be an ini option to avoid the less technically inclined). The alternative is to add something to the effect of 'save scan state' wherein a button exists to 'remember current position,' essentially a pause, when the storage device cools the scan can be resumed. Either one of these would put Recuva ahead of the other software out there and is a good approach to a problem that is not uncommon. Are you willing to see something like this be implemented? I would be willing to contribute a fair amount of money if Piriform were to do so in any sort of timely manner. Your assistance is appreciated.

Moderators mta Posted August 29, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2016 in the meantime, directly cooling the area manually??? how about a fan, air-con for example? have you removed and felt the memory card when it 'disconnects'? is it toasty warm or too hot to touch? or no discernible warmth at all? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
