Windows 10: Windows File Recovery not working "Pass 1: Scanning and processing disk" "Scanning disk: 00% "

Hello,


I am trying to recover some .jpg files from a micoSD that randomly disappeared while I was transferring them to a folder on the same card.


When I run Windows File Recovery on the volume or on a folder on the volume it finds returns a Sector Count of "0x0000000000000000" and under "Pass 1: Scanning and processing disk" it says "Scanning disk: 00%" and then just returns to the command prompt see below.


It creates a destination folder but it's empty.


What does this mean?


If it didn't work after scanning 100% I'd resign myself to the loss but 00% seems unsatisfactory and I can't find any mention of this on the web. So:


Can anyone help?


Thanks!

XP disk versus Laptop Recovery Disk?

Recovery disks are just OEM copies of XP disks. Ie, they can have things such as the companys logo within the files.

If you got a normal XP disk you cant use it. The only way your dads copy of XP will activate is if your normal XP copy is OEM, unless you use the recovery disk.

I always use the recovery disks. Works just like a normal copy *Smile . Plus with the recovery disks you dont need the serial key as I *think* its embedded into the files on the disk. Just need to activate windows once on the net *Wink .
