There are a number of assistant programs that should be on your computer just in case. Most often, 99% of the time their task is just to stay out of the way and take up less space if possible, but when they suddenly become necessary – their presence is always a joy. But what to do when a tool that was created to help you suddenly gives errors or works incorrectly? It does not sound very pleasant. However, data recovery software problems must be solved, and that’s what we will do here and try to describe the solution to the most common problems when working with the program. The main thing is to do everything gradually and not to panic – and then you will succeed.
In plain and simple terms – the software simply does not see your disk. And most often it’s not the program, but the fact that the disk itself is in RAW state, or the file system has problems.
Open Disk Management in Windows. If the disk there is grayed out and without a file system – bingo, problem detected. The program will not be able to scan until the drive is labeled normally. Most importantly, do not format it! This will only make the situation worse. Instead, look for software that knows how to work with RAW drive recovery. Unfortunately, our candidate is powerless here.
Sounds creepy, but the cause is similar to the first one. The disk is damaged or the system on it is broken. The software just doesn’t understand what kind of file system it is. Especially if it is exFAT on a flash drive from not the most famous manufacturer.
Sometimes a simple reboot of the computer will help – do this first. If that doesn’t work, connect the disk to another port or computer. Make sure Windows recognizes it. If the disk does not show up anywhere, it is probably dead (external drives are unfortunately not always as reliable as we would like them to be). This is where more advanced utilities come into play – for example, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Technician should help.
Yeah, it happens. Especially if the system has a bunch of SSDs and HDDs. In such cases, the software loses track of which of them is the main one, and this is what leads to software crashes.
Disconnect all secondary disks (you will have to do it physically, which is a bit difficult especially if you have a laptop) and leave only the necessary one. Attempt to run this software in windows 7 mode (right click the program shortcut – properties – compatibility). It is an old trick, but it works sometimes and well then it is good for us.
This error is one of the most unpleasant, because you have spent time, waited for the software to do its work and already see the finished result – but when you open the recovered file you see an error or nothing happens at all.
Most likely the file is overwritten. Imagine you deleted a photo, then downloaded something to the same folder. This caused Windows to simply write the new data to the old location. The software in such a case will not be able to restore the file you need. Conclusion – You should use the software immediately after deletion, before any new operations. Or try other similar programs – maybe cracked DiskGenius Pro can help you.
This is how the software makes it clear that this file is unfortunately unrecoverable. Perhaps it was corrupted a long time ago, or too much time has passed since the deletion.
There is no 100% guarantee that this will help, but you should try Deep Scan. The function is enabled in the advanced settings.
It doesn’t mean that the file didn’t exist. The software just found the file header, but did not find where the file data is located. This happens if the disk is fragmented or the file was deleted a long time ago.
Switch to a different scan mode. Not sure if this will really help, but it’s always worth a try.
This is one of the most frequent complaints. The reasons are the same – either the file has been overwritten or the file recovery issues.
If it is a photo or text document, try opening it in another application. Sometimes corrupted .DOCX can be opened in Google Docs and JPG in IrfanView.
Despite the abundant pool of errors that you as a user may encounter when working with the software – the software is still worthy of being installed on your PC. If it happens that you accidentally deleted a file that should not have been deleted – you will be glad that the software is at your fingertips. You can download Recuva Professional free from our website. Just select the download method and enjoy the fast download.
After you have downloaded the archive from our site you need to unpack it on your computer with the password “softexpo”. In the folder you will find Installer file and archive with patch. Further everything is as simple as 2+2. First of course you need to install the program itself in the basic version on your PC. The installation process is similar to all the programs that you have installed before so it will be difficult to make a mistake. Next you need to use the patch to get full access to the program. Just open the desired archive and use the crack file. At this step is also nothing complicated, but just in case there is a readme file in the archive, which lies detailed instructions. If suddenly your antivirus began to show dissatisfaction and block files – do not worry, so your system makes it clear that it does not like that you got free access to a paid program. Just disable your antivirus for the time of installation, and you will get access to the full version.
Unfortunately, software is not omnipotent, but it’s like there are no such things. It is much more important that the software is simple, clear and most often really solves your problems. If something goes wrong, you should not despair. Almost all problems can be solved – the main thing is to find the cause, and then it will be clear what to do.
Recuva is available as a one-time purchase, not a subscription. You pay once and get lifetime access, including updates and customer support. No monthly fees, no recurring charges, just a straightforward license. But no need to spend money, just download software from our site and get full free access for all Pro functions.
Yes, it can. Recuva’s Deep Scan mode is specifically designed for recovering files from formatted or damaged drives. Simply launch the recovery wizard, select the drive, enable Deep Scan, and let it work – it digs into the disk structure to retrieve even long-lost data fragments.
While both tools are capable, Recuva stands out for being lighter, faster, and significantly more affordable. EaseUS offers broader file system support, but Recuva performs exceptionally well for typical home and small business recovery tasks – especially for the price. But all free on our site.
For quick, everyday recoveries like deleted photos, documents, or files from USB drives, Recuva is faster and easier to use than Disk Drill. While Disk Drill includes more bells and whistles, Recuva focuses on what matters – speed, simplicity, and results.
Absolutely. Recovering files emptied from the Recycle Bin is one of Recuva’s core strengths. Just open the wizard, choose the file type, select the drive where the Recycle Bin resides (usually C:), and hit scan – in many cases, files are restored within minutes.
