Default 23 hours & still searching

I have been searching a 500 GB hard drive running on Vista that was mistakenly re-formatted. It's been 23 h & only about 2/3 of the drive has been searched. I am doing a complete format recover for only 4 file types (JPG, doc, xl, pst). Any idea why this is taking so long?

Default Data Recovery

A 500gb drive is very, very big!

What does the progress window currently saY:

Files Found = ??
OS Items Found = ??

Has either of these numbers changed in the last 2 hours?

Default 25 hours

When I gave up around the 25th hour, Files Found = 9600+,
OS Items Found = >one million.

And yes, both numbers had been going up.
