First Steps for Data Recovery
Under Data Recovery, Hard Disk
Data recovery is a tricky thing, and if you’ve somehow accidentally deleted or had your important files
corrupted or lost due to human error, business espionage, faulty hardware or software or any other reason; the good news is that your lost data is probably recoverable. This article will show you a few things NOT to do when an event such as this occurs.
Don’t run the drive anymore, or use the device. (MP3, portable storage, camera card, whatever) If you think it won’t hurt to even just poke around the internet for a solution to this mess you’ve made/found, you’re wrong! Don’t install or run anything on the drive you hope to recover data from (infected Hard Drive). Only access this drive again from a healthy PC with the software solution you’re going to use. Since files are overwritten in the order they’ve been deleted, the last files that have been excised from your drive will be the first to be lost permanently. Even just surfing, with all the cookies and temporary internet files that are always being generated will often doom the process without you even knowing about it.
Don’t use tools that may reside on your computer, such as Scandisk, or a boot record utility, as these will probably overwrite exactly the files you’re seeking to get back.
In short, be careful! Your data may very well be recoverable, as long as you don’t do something to erase it forever! Find a good data recovery software solution, and then follow the instructions to the letter, and you’ll more than likely live to see your lost data return. I already found a good free recovery software for you.
