No, still no error message, just drops the folders/files that exceed the length max. I'll try with a shorter file name and a longer path name. The folder structue has been restored but the last folder and the file haven't been recovered, just gone into thin air. The annoying thing is that when I try to recover this file to an even longer path I get no error message at all, just a 1 file recovered in n secs. The max path/file name I can create (XP, but the rule appears to be NTFS based) is 259. Yes, but we are trying to recover a deleted file using Recuva, and under NTFS? As you're recovering under a path of only a few bytes long, you don't have to rename many folders.Īfter a successful recovery you can rename the source drive folders back again, then copy the recovered folders back to the source drive. Recuva will build up the path from the existing shorter folder names. Then run the recovery to folder R as in method one. The folders to rename, and the extent of the renaming, is up to you. So temporarily, and keeping a note of what you have done, rename the longest named live folders to single-byte chars, such as C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\A. So you might be trying to recover files deleted from C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\These_Files_Have_Gone where only the Gone folder has been deleted. These folders will not (all) have been deleted. Recuva will build a path from the deleted files back to the root, passing through many folders. If that doesn't work then keep R as the recovery folder. Run the recovery to folder R with 'Restore folder structure' checked. Well, just C:\ would be shorter, but it would make a terrible mess of your root directory. This one-letter directory will give the shortest path length to recover to. You could try setting up a new folder on the recovery drive under the root called C:\R, for instance. This is already a sizeable chunk of path length. It may well be that the recovery is being attempted to an existing path on the recovery drive such as C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Recovery. The combination of the existing path to the files and the path they're being recovered under exceeds the permitted path length. One could presume that the problem arises when trying to construct a path for the recovered files on the recovery drive.
#Long path tool crack crack#
I can think of two ways to try to crack this, simplest first. If you're running a deep scan then that's not too important, but recovering to a different drive certainly is.
I assume you are running a normal scan and recovering to a different partition or drive. I have never had this problem, by the way, so this is all conjecture. Perhaps it's better to approach this in another way. Thanks for an AMAZING piece of software!!!
#Long path tool crack how to#
Any recommendations on how to work around this would be greatly appreciated!T automatically unselect them and proceed with the recoveryĪs it is, for restores tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of files, navigating through to find which ones are causing the problem is not always possible.filter the list to show the files which are causing the error, allowing me to unselect them but still know what they are.filter the list to show the files which are causing the error, allowing me to rename them manually.allow me to rename the recovered file to comlply with the path length.automatically rename the file to make it path compliant.I've listed them in descending order of attractiveness imho: It would be WONDERFUL if Recuva could offer any one (or more) of the following solutions when that message is generated. Recuva is the best program I've used for file recovery but occasionally a drive I use it on has one or more absurdly long file names and leads to the "Max Path Length Exceeded" error. The issue has been mentioned elsewhere, but not a specific suggestion for a fix as far as I can tell.
