Hello,

i dont agree with you

there are few software for file recovery over an ext2/3 filesystem, so it is
possible to use this software under Wine
--- quote ---

You actually haven't read what I wrote...
I didn't say that's impossible to use this software under wine!

You can still use it for drives which are mapped to physical devices/partitions
(assuming mounted with proper permissions).
You can't use it on wine's builtin 'pseudo' disk device 'drive_c' because it
does *not* map to a real disk device!
Although some physical disk device behaviour is emulated (few ioctls, disk
geometry, volume info, serial number) it doesn't work like a full fledged
physical partition. By design.

i an trying to use recuva in the drive_c created by Wine, which is ext2/3
filesystem after all
--- quote ---

Again, you haven't understood.
You mix up several things.

i have tried to recover files from my physical NTFS partition (mounted as
hda1), but fails too, though it displays a different error code. I cant pos it
now bwecause i donot know it but let me post it tomorrow, maybe in another bug
report
--- quote ---

If the tool is used against drives which are backed by disk devices/partitions
then this bug is valid.
If you persist to use it on 'pseudo' disk device 'drive_c' then this bug is
simply WONTFIX/INVALID.

--- quote ---
Even if you fooled recuva into thinking your drive_c was
a physical hard drive, it's the wrong partition type. There's a possibility
that it may be possible to have recuva work on a usb drive for instance, or
some other device that IS FAT/NTFS formatted, but I don't know how easy that
would be to implement.
--- quote ---

Austin, please don't add more confusion.
This tool can perfectly work on real disk devices.
Wine has all the necessary stuff implemented.

Regards
