Instructions
Step 1
First of all, carefully remove the hard drive from the system unit. Do not throw it into the trash bin if it is physically damaged, as even in this state of the disk, lost files can be restored. Connect the removed drive to another computer, or insert it into an external USB enclosure.
Step 2
Then use special utilities that can be free or shareware. Utilities such as O&O UnErasc, PC Inspector File Recovery 4.1 and Zero Assumption Recovery (or simply ZAR.) Have proven themselves well. Using the O&O UnErasc and PC Inspector File Recovery 4.1 utilities, scan the disk and select the necessary files from the list of lost data. Files, when using these utilities, can be completely restored if, when they were deleted, no information was written to the hard disk. With the Zero Assumption Recovery utility, you can recover files even on a formatted hard drive.
Step 3
Lost files are often caused by corrupted sector tables in the Master Bool Record. master boot record. To restore them, download free simple programs from the Internet that effectively reconstruct MBR using file structures. Programs such as: Active Partition Recovery or MBRlool 2.3.1 can easily recover bad sectors.
Step 4
To avoid permanent loss of files, create an exact copy of your hard drive. To do this, purchase a special program, for example, HDClone 3.2., Which will copy the hard drive sector by sector.
