Default Data Recovery

Hi,

Stop your current search. Close the program down, and then restart it again (this will reset Recover My Files to the default options).

First run a "Fast Format Recover" on the physical drive. This should take less than 40 minutes to run. Look in Folder View of the search results screen for your files. Do you find them?

If not, next try a Complete Format Recover. Search the physical drive. Search ONLY for the default selected file types and also add the MP3 file type.

Let this search run for at least 2 hours. In the search progress window you will see "OS Items Found = xxx". Keep the search running until this number starts increasing rapidly, and when it stops increasing and remains stable for 10 minutes, then you can stop the search and let the results rebuild and display in the results screen. Each OS Item found is a file with its full file and folder name.

Please let me know how it goes. You should be able to recover all your data.
