hi,

I am trying to recover files after a quick format, so i am running a full format recover. It seems to work for a while but then the program freezes and the cpu usuage goes up to 100%, the only way to unfreeze it is to open task manager and then it resumes but this only works a few times before it completly locks up my computer. I have ran it in safe mode which seems to make it run a bit longer but then it does it again.

I am running vista but thinking of running xp on another drive to see if it makes any difference. Any help is well appreciated.

intel dual core 2.2ghz processor
2gb ddr ram
and the drive i am trying to recover is a 320gb but partitioned and im trying to recover the 170gb partition.
