Whenever you format your computer’s Hard Disk Drive the whole data is removed and you cannot easily recover all this data. There are many other similar situations like when you delete few important files from your computer which are moved to the Recycle Bin and then when you run a software like Ccleaner, all the files are permanently deleted, with Windows offering no option to recover. There are also situations where in you would format the hard drives, USB Drives, Floppy, camera card to remove all the data within them and later when you need the files back, you are left with no option.
We had previously written a few articles which are similar to this one – Permanently Delete Files, Recover Deleted Files, Find and Recover Deleted Files, Undelete Files.
In order to fix up everything we need to use a Data Recovery Software from Wondershare, which is a paid application costing you $39.95 along with a 30-day Money Back Guarantee. Now let us read more on how can this software be useful for people who have deleted their data from their computer. The installation process is quite simple and once you have registered the software, you will get a window as shown below.
The home screen starts with ‘Deleted Recovery‘ option along with the center section asking you to browse a folder to recover and the third section giving you instructions. Once you browse and select the folder whose files you want to restore, the software will start scanning the drive folder in detail and give you a list of all the files which were found and which can be recovered.
The next option is ‘Format Recovery’ which allows you to recover files which were lost when you accidentally formatted your partition or device. Select the formatted device and select the previous file system, then click on the Next button to start. The file system is important because many a times users would format their drives and change the file system from FAT to NTFS or NTFS to FAT file system.
Next option available is ‘Raw Recovery’ which allows you to recover files from seriously damaged file system. This option is to be used only when you are unable to recover files through the above two listed options ie Deleted Recovery & Format Recovery.
The last option is Partition Recovery which can rebuild partition table when it was lost or damaged by virus infection or misoperation. Along with this the software will backup and restore partition table. Overall this is a excellent software which can help you in getting back all the files which were deleted either by mistake or when you had formatted your hard drives.
I used this service to recover some files that I thought I had saved but didn’t and had ended up throwing away and then reformatting my computer. It found the files, but I cannot open any of the psd or illustrator files, it says that they are damaged. Do you have any experience with this? Do you know if it is possible to restore these somehow? Thanks.
