This happened to me the first time I ran Recover My Files (a purchased copy) too. I have a 160 GB FAT 32 hard drive whose contents vanished when I hit the apparent 128 GB Windows 9x limit. I only told RMF to search for AVI and MPG files, and it took five days to find them all. Then when I tried to save the recovered files to another drive, RMF would write a 1024 KB file for each one, no matter what the recovered file's size was reported to be.
I'm rerunning RMF again now, and so far it's been 10 DAYS! and is only one-third of the way through the disk. I've thought of stopping, saving what it's found so far and then recovering the last two thirds, but the "Stop" button isn't working. Recover My Files has taken over my system.
What should I do? I don't want to wait another 20 days (at this rate) to finish this search, only to find later that it's only writing 1024 KB files.
