The file cannot be recovered because the chain of data segments is broken.
The file is partially corrupt and cannot be recovered. This error usually occurs when recovering a very large file that was either highly fragmented or compressed.

The file is corrupt.
A compressed file cannot be decompressed due to data corruption. See "Recovered files are corrupt" in this chapter.

The filename is too long. Please choose a root folder such as D:\ as the destination folder.
Windows® imposes a maximum length limit for filenames including the folder path to 255 characters. When a file is recovered, its recovered name is the original name prefixed by the destination folder. For example, when the lost file C:\My Documents\Resume.doc is recovered to the destination folder D:\Recovery, the recovered filename will become D:\Recovery\My Documents\resume.doc, which is usually longer than the original path. If the original path length is near the limit, the new length may exceed it.

To avoid this error, recover the file to a root folder (such as D:\) so that the new path name has the same length as the original.

The Quick Search on an active drive always displays deleted files only. The "Skip deleted files and folders" option is ignored.
When you use Quick Search to search an active drive letter (i.e., one that is working normally), only deleted files are searched. This is in conflict with the option Skip Deleted Files and Folders in the menu Options, Search. To avoid this message, uncheck this option.
