Out of Memory error

[Roger]

Hi All,
I've just discovered Recover-my-files and it looks like an excellent product to solve my problem.

I have a 160GB drive which used to have three partitions:
C: for the operating system
D: for programmes
E: for data.
However, I have "lost" drives D: and E:. Running Recover-my-files with "Complete Format Recover" identifies a lot of my data files - primarily Word, Oulook Express and Excel. Using preview the content is there - excellent.

But - the - problem, after 10 hours and having analysed all the clusters, I get an "Out of Memory Error" while "Creating Virtual Partition 1". All I can do at this point is to end the programme. I have 1GB of RAM and the virtual memory is system set. Task manager shows memory usage as 2.08GB. I've just created a new swap file 4GB big on a seperate hard drive and I'm tryng again.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Roger

Hi,

I am not exactly sure of the cause of this problem. It is possible, but unlikely, that you have many thousands of files on your drive?

Please make sure you are using the latest version of Recover My Files, currently v3.84, available from www.recovermyfiles.com.

When you run a "Complete Format Recover", just search for .bmp and .avi files (un-tick all the other file types). This should help.

Please let me know how it goes.
