Pandora Recovery is a powerful free tool that provides its users an effective way to attempt recovery of permanently deleted files. And that does not mean restoration of a file from Recycle Bin. The software recovers files removed from Recycle Bin, deleted using Shift + Delete keys bypassing Recycle Bin and

Free Pandora Recovery Software

files deleted from DOS prompt. Pandora Recovery lets its user browse, search, preview and recover files deleted from NTFS and FAT volumes, supporting hard drives, flash drives and memory cards. It successfully handles archived, hidden, encrypted and compressed files and recovers Alternate Data Streams (ADS). Pandora Recovery features classic interface wizards, hints and context-sensitive help. Pandora Recovery allows user to browse and search the tree of deleted files where show deleted items only button comes handy. Finally, it has ability to scan drive clusters, picking up files whose MFT record has been reused by OS, damaged or recreated (it can restore files on formatted drives).

Version 2.1.1 supports Data carving (surface scan) of Adobe PhotoShop PSD and MS Outlook PST.

File recovery has never been easier thanks to Pandora Recovery. The program’s wizard-like approach to finding and retrieving lost files will appeal to all users.

The user interface is about as straightforward as it gets. Clean and simple menu and command buttons run across the top of the paneled window, while a tree-menu containing hard-disk folders to browse resides in a sidebar. But what stood out the most was the program’s wizard, which walked us through the process of locating long-lost files. It first prompts you to check your Recycle Bin, which sounds obvious, but is a necessary time-saver. The program has three search settings (Browse, Search, Deep Scan) and each has its own description so that you’ll know which to choose. Depending on the search setting you select, the program’s interface changes to accommodate the search. We started with a Deep Scan, which detects deleted file types. Once we selected the file types to include in the scan (All, Images & Photo, Archived Files, Music & Sounds) the program immediately went to work scanning our hard disk. Considering the task at hand, the program quickly pulled up deleted files.

We liked the quick help links located throughout the interface to answer specific questions, but the program does included a very thorough built-in Help file. Our only complaint is that it left files that had to be manually deleted during uninstallation. However, we highly recommend this free program for any user looking to quickly locate a lost file.

First Steps for Data Recovery

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 07:06:08 +0000

Data recovery is a tricky thing, and if you’ve somehow accidentally deleted or had your important files

Data Recovery

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.

If Accidentally Lost or Deleted Files

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:22:17 +0000

Emptied your recycle bin? Discovered that you may have needed something there? Don’t worry. The file is still there, and likely very recoverable. Has the file you’ve been looking for been missing for a while? Chances are, it’s still available.

In situations where you are simply looking to undelete a file or retrieve data that was once there but can’t be found now, you can likely perform your file recovery with data recovery software.

Your Best Actions:

1. Save as little as possible to your hard drive.

2. Do NOT install data recovery software to your hard drive.

Hard Disk Data Recovery Guide

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 08:10:57 +0000

Hard Drive Data Recovery

There are different types of data recovery programs available on the internet that will help you to recover all your important information within no time. These specific programs can initiate data recovery on various storage devices like the hard disk, CD, DVD, USB drive, Zip drive and other media devices.

You can use the following procedures if you experience problems in accessing your data:

Most of the data loss occurs due to hardware failure and hence you need to identify the reason for data inaccessibility first. This will help you to understand what process needs to be followed for data recovery.
If the data loss is of minor proportions then you don’t need to consult a technical expert. Data recovery companies can charge a lot even to retrieve a small amount of data. If the data loss is due to accidental delete or because of a virus problem then you can always download certain programs from the Internet and run them. Most of the free programs available on the internet will be able to retrieve data with ease.
When you are searching for data recovery software over the internet, look for programs that have been given good reviews by various online PC or computer magazines. This will help you to download the best programs available. Some programs will require you to register before you can download them.
Look for programs that have a built-in trouble shooting or help manual. This will provide you a step-by-step guide to data recovery and also provide information on what to do if there is a problem.
Another good option is to take the hard drive out and attach it to another computer for data recovery. Always attach it to a computer that has similar configuration as yours otherwise it will not be possible to install your hard drive.

If and only if you have had a serious problem like hard disk crash or some mechanical or logical failure then approach a data recovery expert. Data recovery companies normally have their own labs, tools and expert staff who can handle some of the most sensitive data recovery processes with ease.
