subject: Date Recovery Software - How To Recover Lost Files [print this page] Data recovery software tools help you receive data, which would've been permanently lost from hard drive, like photos, music, work files, articles written absolutely anything that you accidentally deleted. Another good reason to have data recovery software is if your hard drive crashes no matter what the reason is good to note that most of your work can always be recovered.
In essence, the way the software works is by going back onto your hard drive and retrieving your lost files. When you delete a file, or put into his into the recycle bin. It isn't actually deleted just the files that point to it are deleted. It's possible to get special software that can go in and hunt for your files on your hard drive and restore from to another location.
The most important piece of advice I can give you is if you do find you have deleted something you want to keep do not write anything else onto the disc, your PC will actually believe that the data is permanently removed and save the new information over your old information. That is why it is vitally important never to keep using your PC. Once he realized you have deleted something you want to keep.
You will have to access the software you need for data recovery from another PC. It's pretty simple enough to do, I suggest you use a flash drive or USB stick. You can just plug the USB stick into the computer and download data recovery software you need, then just unplug it from one computer and put it into your 'poorly' computer where you want to retrieve the data. So now you have the software you need on your PC without having to download it and risk overwriting the important data you want to keep.
The next step is simply to run the data recovery software from the flash drive. Follow the on screen prompts, navigate to wear your files were saved and retrieved them. However, do not try to save your retrieved files directly onto your PC again. It is best practice to save the retrieved files to the USB drive, once you're sure that they are on the USB drive and saved there then you can install them onto a PC to their original location. That's it, that finishes the installation of your lost files using data recovery software..
