Are you trying to use Recuva to recover files from an ext2/3 system using wine? Because if so, that's not going to work...
i an trying to use recuva in the drive_c created by Wine, which is ext2/3 filesystem after all
Yes, it is, however, recuva is a very low level program, looking at the hard drive sectors themselves for lost files. It expects to see a FAT(16?)/32 or NTFS filesystem, along with the hard drive device which it can scan at a low level for lost files. 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.
