Ripsaw0071 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This program messed my desktop pc, and caused me to have to disconnect one of my hdd. Not a happy camper, be careful about using the program to create a disc image, gave me nothing but trouble. Most of my equipment on this machine fairly new and had no trouble with it before using Recuva, buyer beware! Have Norton complete anti-virus protection too!

Moderators Nergal Posted October 13, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2020 Moved to recuva bug board 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.

Moderators nukecad Posted October 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2020 Creating a disc image in Recuva can take a long time (16 hours plus is not unusual) because it has to read and then re-write the whole of the disc including the 'unused' space. During the imaging process the computer cannot be used and once started the image creation cannot be safely stopped.https://support.piriform.com/hc/en-us/articles/204044064-Using-the-Recuva-Wizard#h_15c980c2-23ca-47e0-b818-67778267902b You don't say exactly what happened; but from what you do say it sounds as if you forced the imaging process to crash by disconnecting the drive that it was writing the image to. Crashing an active process unexpectedly like that, especially one that may be accessing things at the system level, is not a good idea and can lead to problems. (Sometimes it's the only way - but you always risk problems by doing it). *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?
