PhotoRec - Not Responding

#1 Post by jagce »

I've been running QPhotoRec for a little over two days now. When i left my computer an hour ago it said it was 8% complete. When I came back it says it's only 4% complete and Task Manager showing it Not Responding off/on.

What do I need to do, just let it go and see it works itself out? If I kill it in Task Manager, won't I just have to start all over again?

Please help. Thanks.

Please let QphotoRec continue it's job to ensure a possible complete failure of your already broken disk. :lol:
