If in the entire history of your communication with a computer you have never lost the necessary information and have not erased important files, you are just lucky. Of the multimillion army of PC owners, there are probably only a few of them. Therefore, the question of how to recover lost data remains relevant for everyone and always.

Special program for recovering lost data
Instructions
Step 1
First, a little information about what kind of data corruption can be. There are two main types: physical and logical.
Physical damage requires replacement of parts of the computer. At home, physical damage cannot be repaired - you need to take your PC to a service. At the same time, it is not possible to recover the lost data.
In case of logical damage to the file system, information can be restored. To do this, you need to use a special program designed to recover information.
Quite a lot of such programs are now offered. These include Recuva, File Recovery, PC Inspector File Recovery, Zero Assumption Recovery, R-Studio, Active Directory Object Restore Wizard, PC Tools File Recover, and many more. Using one of them as an example, let's go through the path of file recovery.
Step 2
PC Tools File Recover is a very serious and multifunctional program. The program allows you to recover not only deleted files, but also files wiped by viruses or during a software failure. The program works quickly, understands the FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems.
The utility can be freely downloaded from the Internet. Its developers offer their brainchild in two versions - free and paid (more advanced version of the program).
Step 3
Download the utility to your PC and run it. The program works in three main areas of data scanning and recovery: recovering accidentally deleted files, recovering lost data as a result of damage to the file system or formatting drives, as well as searching for logical drives that are invisible in the operating system and recovering information located on them.
Step 4
After starting the program, it will scan the PC itself and select the desired recovery path, after which the user will be offered a window with a logical drive, where the files of interest will be located.
Step 5
Select the disk and double-click on it with the mouse - the recovery process is running, and you just need to wait for the completion.
