How to Use File Recovery Software?
When a file has been deleted or a hard drive suddenly dies, it's often possible to get the data back. Professional data recovery services can rebuild damaged and broken hard drives, but many minor data loss problems can be resolved with computer file recovery software. Here's a step-by-step guide to using file recovery software.Deciding Whether To Use Data Recovery SoftwareFirst of all, know when to try to recover your own data and when to leave the work to the professionals. Never use software to attempt computer file recovery if your hard drive is making clicking or whirring noises. These types of sounds indicate a failure of the hard drive's read/write heads, and if a hard drive runs with failed heads, data could be physically removed from the surface of the drive's platters. Once data is physically destroyed in this way, file recovery becomes impossible. Only use file recovery software to recover deleted or corrupted files.Find high-quality data recovery software. Professional data recovery facilities usually use their own proprietary software, but there are plenty of easy-to-use programs available online. Some examples are Ontrack's Easy Recovery, DataRecovery.com's Save My Files and Runtime.org's GetDataBack. If you've found a different file recovery tool, be sure to read reviews before buying and find out whether the software company offers a free trial or a money-back guarantee.If you accidentally deleted files on your computer, turn it off immediately and don't turn it back on until you're ready to use file recovery software. Computers regularly write small bits of data while they're on, so by turning off your PC, you'll avoid overwriting your deleted files.Installing Recovery SoftwareNever install file recovery software onto the hard drive with lost data, as the new software will overwrite your deleted or corrupted files. Instead, you'll have to install the software onto a second computer and hook up the drive with the lost data as a secondary or "slave" drive. Ground yourself by touching the metal screw of an electrical outlet before handling your computer's hard drive, or you'll risk damage to the drive's electronics board.Every data recovery program is different, so follow your software's instructions to the letter. When you're ready to recover your lost files, you'll need to transfer the recovered data to another hard drive or flash drive, so have a data storage device ready.If your recovery software can't find the missing files, it may be time to call a professional data recovery company. However, it's never a bad idea to try data recovery software on a hard drive that hasn't been physically damaged as long as you follow the proper procedure to avoid overwriting your lost files.
