If you have lost important data files or that were recorded on the hard drive of your computer, or you have deleted photos from memory card from the camera, or can not find the files you had on a USB stick, either through carelessness, accident, neglect, ... you should know that these data are usually recoverable. Contrary to what one might think, when you delete a file from a device does not disappear completely. By contrast, information is stored enough to restore it.
If you have lost some files, the most important thing now is to follow this first advice: as far as possible, STOP USING THE HARD DISK or device containing the data 've lost. You run the risk of overwriting the data you want to retrieve, and make them disappear, now, definitely.
The most common cause of data loss is the error "human" or software failures. Occurs when the device's hard drive, external memory, etc.) Works well, but for some of the following reasons, files are lost and must regain them:
* Clear the Trash by mistake
* On the Formatting Accidental or incorrect HDD or re-partitioning the drive ...
* lost files or sabotage attacks from viruses, hackers, ...
* A Software uninstall program or other important information has been erased.
* The PC has been arrested in the middle of a process and after restarting, missing files or programs.
While a file is deleted, delete, format, repartition ... not physically delete the file. What happens is that the system erases the file from the list of programs or files from Windows, but the content of the deleted file is still there, on your hard drive (or USB memory, or device that is). Until we write new information on them remain on the hard drive. If the writing process has not yet occurred, too late to recover the files. Therefore it is very important to try not to write anything on it.
Even in case of formatting information still there. Even if your PC no longer recognizes the hard drive, and the device operating system is gone and no way to access the hard disk information is almost always able to recover most of the data with a recovery program. Using
recovery software for deleted files, usually without any problem can find the deleted file data and return it to include in the index of Windows, thereby recovering the deleted file. There are many applications, commercial and free, very complete, to recover deleted files.
For the simplest cases (retrieve accidentally deleted files from recycle bin and cases equivalent) can be used many free applications that can be easily found on the Internet. I recommend two that give very good results:
* Restoration 3.2.13.a
Although in English, the great advantage of the program is that it is a self-executable file, no installation needed. Simply double click on the file every time you want to retrieve something. This utility does a search on the selected drive and gives you the ability to restore files that are no longer in the Recycle Bin and also have deleted without sending it to the trash. Besides not does not require installation, supports drives with FAT 16, 32, NTFS and USB memory sticks. Remember to download to a disk, partition or USB pen other than the missing file. It is a simple program without too many choices, so it will not cost you too much to handle.
* File Recoveryv
4.x PC Inspector. In my opinion is the most complete free (freeware), is in English, and is fully recommended. Allows you to retrieve a variety of files between MP3 found, TIF, JPG, DOC, ZIP, AVI, HTM, HTML, GIF, EXE, etc.. Supports both the FAT 12/16/32 and NTFS, and the new 4.x version just came out. Not only recover deleted files, it automatically finds units although disk boot sector or file allocation table (FAT) have been deleted or is defective. A marvel of freeware software.
If these two programs have not achieved your goal, then you should go to the next step, try commercial software. Commercial software is more powerful and has capabilities that have not yet found in free software, such as recovery from accidentally formatted hard disk, etc. Shareware
retrieval there are many. But arriving at this point after having already tried with the free, I'll just recommend that in my opinion is the best: Stellar Phoenix for Windows. Supports all systems Windows (FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5), and is particularly useful in the following cases:
* Deleted Files or Folders, deleted or "lost" by any user, program, removal, or "blue screen" of system.
* Hard Formatting and Partitions Partitions
* overwritten, lost, damaged and / or canceled
* The hard disk does not start, or is not accessible.
* Partition Hard Drive damaged or corrupted.
* Recover data in cases of serious damage to the structure of file system data.
I recommend that you install the trial version
Stellar Phoenix and see before spending if they could retrieve the lost information. If the answer is yes and retrieve data are valuable, I would not hesitate to buy the program to retrieve all information. You can do it from this link
.
Keep in mind that the more care is taken with the hard drive, maintain order, not installing applications left and right just for testing, and frequent and regular defragmenting, the more likely to recover files if necessary.
Many think that the risks of losing information stored on the PC are minimal, or think they make copies of back-up (or back) data is a complex process suitable only for experts. But it is a simpler procedure than you think, and even multiple operating systems include software to do so.
must think about the following: the average life of a hard disk is 3 or 4 years! Are you prepared to keep your data when your hard say "enough"?
Unfortunately, it is impossible to guarantee 100% effective recovery of files that have been eliminated, so the best way to avoid having to go through a situation of this kind, is to keep a backup (backup) of our most important .
But if what you need is to recover the information on your iPod I recommend this special tool for this task and is the IPod
Recovery, recovers music, photos, videos and folders lost, corrupted or unrecoverable, in a simple and nondestructive.
