"no free space available"
I am very new to all this so please bear with me. I am using Photorec to recover files from a lost partition. I have successfully recovered hundreds of files but now I get a message that there's no free space available on the drive where the recovered files are. I created some some free space on that drive (over 100GB free now) but I still get the same message when I resume. I even tried another drive but I still get the same message. Please can somebody help? Many thanks.

I'm new to all this so please bear with me. I'm using photorec to recover files from a lost partition. The program has recovered hundreds of files so far but now I get a message "no free space available" even though there is more than 100GB available on the destination drive. It just refuses to recover any more files when I resume the recovery process. Just the same "no spaceavailable message". Please help. Many thanks.

Re: "no free space available"
PhotoRec returns this error message when it failed to write new data on the destination disk.
The problem can occurs sometimes if the destination is a FAT32 partition, a network drive or because the recovered data triggers the local antivirus. For this latter case, if you are under Windows, start Windows in safe mode and try again.
