Pig-Pin of Charlie Brown friends has nothing on me. ?There is no way to handle this. ?The first scan took close to 4 days, to tell me that was only a portion of the disk? The disk wasn¡¯t partitions so I don¡¯t understand but O.K. lets go ahead and do the second scan, that was going to be close to 5 days. ?It was about done and the electric company cut the electric in our neighborhood and I¡¯ve lost it all. ?I¡¯ll have to start all over. ?This is the job that never gets completed. ?What is going to keep ?the from doing this again.
What a deal.

My one day to sleep in, however I knew 5:00 a.m. was supposed to be the completion of DISCOVERY by DiskDrill and I was going to see if any of the family jewels had been recovered, so up at 6:00, rushed to the computer. ?At the bottom of the dialogue was a green checkmark, ¡°ALL RECOVERY METHODS COMPLETE¡±, 5.93tb found..
What the bold print gives the fine print takes away. ?At the top of the dialogue box was this message: ? ¡°THERE IS A CHANCE TO FIND MORE DATA¡±. ?You just successfully scanned a PARTITION. ?While we found everything we could on it, there¡¯s a good chance DiskDrill could find more deleted data if the whole disk was searched. ?It will take more time but may be worth it.
Really?
Apple will be ready to introduce the 2026 Developers Conference before this is complete.
But what choice did I have, so at this point the new DISCOVERY, says the time is right at 80 more hours and the size of the yet discovered data is 125.8 gig, but this number is still rising as is the time. ?
There should be a warning label with DiskDrill, using this software may cause premature aging.

Lee, I stand by my statement, I appreciate all your input.?

Thanks! But you have a low amazement threshold.
One thing I forgot to mention is something I find amazing. Run Disk Utility and select the data volume of your main hard drive. If you do a?File>Get Info?on it, you¡¯ll get a window with information about the volume. One of the items listed is the number of files on the volume.
For example, my MacBook Pro has a 500 GB SSD. The data volume has 373 GB used and contains 3,764,124 files.
This gives some idea of how hard it is for recovery programs to dig through a hard drive when the directory has been erased.
