#1 Post by mkerdman »

Photorec stopped in the middle of a File Recovery Session.

The Estimated Time to completion is 16h4m55.

The Elapsed Time is not counting/moving.

The Cursor is blinking on Stop.

How do I Resume the Photorec Session?

Thank you in advance.

Nope, not even close.

It's a new 5TB USB 3.0 Drive with 4.49TB Available.

Should I code the CMD Window running Photorec?

No, you don't have to code any software. Photorec is working.
Check the SMART status of your hard drive using smartmontools with the -a parameter.
Post the log.

Attached is my Photorec Screen which has not chnaged in any way over the last 12 hours.

EDIT: I cannot seem to attach a .jpg.

Maybe it's because I am new to the board.
