No, I chose to save them on an internal drive in my laptop. I ended up having to stop the scan and used revival to get my photos out instead. It took longer and doesn't tell you what sector it's reading atm, but at least it worked. No clue why photorec wouldn't work though :/

My macbook did some weird voodoo on my external drive and disappeared almost 200GB of data.

I hooked up my drive to a windows computer and started PhotoRec... it seemed to work at first, but now, for the past 6 hours or so, it's just been creating new directories and putting in the exact same files ...
