What to Do When Stellar Data Recovery Professional Gives Error Messages "The destination you have chosen is on the same source drive as source"?

Hi Eric,

If you try to put it back from where it was deleted then SPMDR will display the message shown in CASE - 1 above. This is done to avoid any further data loss on that volume or location.

You must select a different source or volume to save the file. Later you can move the data to your desired destination.

Thanks

What do you mean when you say chose a different volume ????

Hi Danielle,

To avoid overwriting of the data, the Stellar software prompts user to save the recovered files on a different volume. The destination of the recovered files shouldn't be same as the source. You can understand this by above images. Hope it helps..

I repeat Danielles question...specifically how do you choose another volume...what do you click on to find the other volume choices?

Hi Randy,

Please find below path to make a selection of other volumes from the software interface.

After scan finishes, Click 'Recover' button<<'Open Directory' Window shows up<
Please let us know for further query.

that still doesn't help. IF scanning your main drive after losing most of it, there is not enough room to put it somewhere else. There is no way i can save it and then move it. You have not clarified how to change the volume in Case 1

Hi Nick,

Please save the recovered files on a removable media. If problem continues, kindly let us know.

How do I choose where I want to save the recovered files?

Hey Cathlong,

Thanks for your query!!

Please follow simple sequential steps to save recovered files with Stellar Mac data recovery.

1) Once scans finishes, select files and click Recover button.
2) 'Open Directory' window appears. From left pane, select a destination to save recovered files.
3) Once destination is selected, Click 'Choose' and again click 'Proceed Anyway'.
4) The Save process begins and files are saved at chosen destination.

Hope this helps. Let us know for further query.

Thanks

I get the message "Insufficient Space at Destination" even if I have a 4TB external Drive that has less than 1 TB used.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Paul,

Could you please send us the screenshot of the message which pops up when you try to save the recovered files on to the external hard drive? Send me here: amit[dot]pandey[@]stellarinfo[dot]com

Thanks

你好,我也有同样的问题,试着干腊肠e 300GB on ftp location with more than 1 TB of free space, and error shows that i have only 50GB free, which is the free space on my local drive!?@!

Hi Tose,

There is no support to save recovered files on FTP server using Stellar Mac data recovery software. In order to save files you need to connect an external hard drive.

Hope this helps. Please let us know your further query.

Trying to recover 700GB of photos onto a 3TB Toshiba. I use a Mac. I get an "insufficient space at destination." It's a brand new formatted 3TB external hard drive. Help?!?

Hello Wayne,

Could you please share the following information with us in order to resolve your query:

1) What file system is your external HDD formatted
2) What version of Mac OS X you running
3) Also, let us know the version of Stellar Mac data recovery you running

It would be great if you can grab a screenshot of the error message and send us at amit.pandey[@]stellarinfo.com (Please remove [])

Do let us know so that we can revert.
Thanks

What to do. ???

I downloaded the other version as recommended but now the activation key is invalid and I can't get another one! What do I do? Thanks.

I got the same problem with the Stellar Photo Recovery Platinum in Mac OS Sierra. Does the problem solved by using the version without "Platinum" in 7.1.01?

So the register no. is same as Platinum?

Hello,

I'm using a free license to recover data for 1GB, but i get the following message when I pressed recover:

Insufficient space at destination.

Really frustrating.

我有一个外置驱动器超过700 Gb的免费的温泉ce, so far I did a recovery with Disk Drill and with Recoverit, and had no problems in recovering the scanned file to that drive. WHen I try to do the same with Stellar, I get the message that there is no space........what is going on !!! Lots of people with the same problem.....very frustrating , I spent 4 or 5 hours scanning the damaged drive, your software indicates some 145 GB of recovered files but I cannot save them !!! Very bad

Questo software non funziona, fa vedere i dati ma non li recupera in nessun modo.
