Sometimes it happens that you have deleted the files you need by mistake. For example, such files were audio or video recordings. Restoring these records will not be difficult for you, because there are many multimedia files on the world wide web. But what about documents and reports that are of great value to you. In this case, data recovery programs can come to the rescue.

Hard disk data recovery software
Instructions
Step 1
The most important thing in this business is to stop any work on the computer. When you delete files, they are just overwritten, but not deleted as you think. If you look at the information about the free space on the disk, you can see that there is a certain amount of free space on it. It turns out that the hard drive is constantly filled with information, but the unnecessary information that you deleted becomes just invisible. Therefore, using specialized programs, you can recover up to 99% of erased files. This is possible only on condition that after deleting them, no operations have taken place with files on the hard disk (creating and deleting folders and documents). Once you find that the necessary files are missing, take the following steps:
- cancel all the work that you were doing at the moment;
- install a specialized program to recover deleted files;
- after their recovery, you can resume your work.
Step 2
Let's use the Ontrack Easy Recovery utility for data recovery. This multifunctional program is distinguished by its simplicity and wide range of settings. Go to the program, it will automatically start scanning your disks. Select the disk where the file was erased, click "Next". In the window that appears, the program automatically detects the file system of the disk; you can also set it personally by clicking on the "Advanced Options" button. After that, click "Next" again, the search for recently deleted files will start. After a deep scan, you will see the results: all the files that you see in this window can be recovered. To do this, you can use the buttons on the toolbar or select one of the items in the file context menu.
Step 3
Also in this program, the ability to recover data is well implemented in the absence of an operating system on the hard disk. To do this, you need to create a bootable floppy disk, the ability to create such a floppy exists only on a running computer. Start Menu - Programs - Easy Recovery - Make Emergency Boot Diskette. Restart the computer, press the "Del" button on the keyboard, in the BIOS, select the boot from a floppy disk (Floppy), "F10". After the reboot, the floppy disk will be loaded, now you can restore the files you need.
