trying one more time
was using photo rec then tried test disk and now back to photo rec on the images copied to hard drive, seems like a better result this time
keeping my fingers crossed
thanks I guess I didn't clarify that the file I am trying to recover is on a 64 Gb micro disk SD memory card Today the terminal window says it is now 322 hours till completion
I must have failed to follow the instructions I will try a program from a chinese company that does disk / file recovery ...
I wonder if I have done something wrong or is this amount of time the normal period I am in the reading sector / recovery mode and the estimated time to completion says it will be 64 hours till ended? Is there any way to speed this up? Maybe it is not working correctly it has been doing the recovery ...
