PhotoRec7.1-WIP Running now for over 24 hours and still waiting...

#1 Post by jaw373 »

I have a micro sd card that got corrupted. I am using your program to try and retrieve the information off. I have been running the program now for over 24 hours and its only at 87%. It says first pass, reading sector...it has found 181 files so far (I don't think there were that many on the card). But anyway...how much longer is this thing going to run and does it have to do something else after this read segment.

This is crazy ridiculous this thing taking so long just for a micro sd card...please advise.

I need to restart my computer and this is holding me up in more ways than one...

A prompt response will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks.

Do you see read error messages ?
You can use TestDisk, Advanced, Image Creation and use PhotoRec on the image.dd file. Please tell us if it's faster.
