--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2008-03-19 11:58:05 --- Confirming. I tried setting device type to local hard disk, as well as assigning a serial number and label with no luck. I'll attach a +relay,+seh,+tid in a second.

--- Comment #8 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2008-03-21 13:04:37 --- Hello,
what the app is basically trying to do on standard wine 'drive_c' (dosdevices/c:) -> seeking/reading/writing raw sectors (bootsector, file system structures, ...) won't work/is not supported by design. It would be pointless for wine 'pseudo' disk devices.
If you want the tool to mess with a real windows partition you can of course mount it, set the right permissions for raw access and add/configure it using winecfg drive mapping.
Just an advice ... if you use such tools that directly read/write from/to disk, skipping OS/filesystem drivers use a separate disk/partition for recovery. Modifying an already corrupted disk is asking for trouble.
WONTFIX in my opinion. Some info should be added to the appdb entry to explain the issue. Ideally there could be a small wiki entry too so one can just refer to it next time ;-)

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

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.

--- Comment #13 from javier fernandez jfarroyo82@hotmail.com 2008-03-21 20:27:09 --- 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

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.

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

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.

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