Using the program called Eraser, I erased the free disk space of drive D: which is a logical partition on my only physical drive. Apparently the program overwrote the Master File Table Records and as result, I do not see the content of the D: drive. When looking at the properties of the D...

High, long time windows user, new to the forum. I'm hopping to catch some windows gurus for this. So, my girlfriends HDD bit the bullet a week ago and corrupted the disk formating. Windows reads it as an empty disk ready to format. That being said, I was able to recover the entire drive with a...

Hello I used Filehippo's update checker and it kept flagging recuva as needing updating. However, the version it wanted to install was the vesion I had installed. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but when I read the details of each, I had what it wanted to install. Is this called false...
