Flash drives and memory cards are more and more included in our lives. They are used in almost all mobile devices: phones and communicators, game consoles, navigators and cameras, netbooks and e-books. Sometimes users unknowingly format storage media while deleting all information from them.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - the Recuva program;
- - flash drive.
Instructions
Step 1
In some cases, it is possible to recover deleted information using special programs. There are several utilities that provide this functionality. To do this, you need the Recuva program. You can download it on the website www.piriform.com/recuva. In the free version of Recuva, upon launching a wizard appears to help you recover deleted information. On the first page, select the type of information you want to recover. This program allows you to recover the maximum information on your computer
Step 2
On the next page, indicate the medium on which you want to search for the lost information. In the next window, you can turn on "deep analysis" if nothing was found during the first search.
Step 3
After searching, you will be shown a list of found files. Each file is marked with a color-coded circle that indicates the status of the file found. Green means the file is in good condition, yellow means the file is damaged, but it may be possible to recover it, red means the file cannot be recovered.
Step 4
In this list, you need to check the boxes for the files you need. Then click on the "Restore" tab. A window will appear in the program in which you need to specify the folder where you want to save all the files. It is also worth noting that it is not worth saving the files back to the USB flash drive, as the sectors on which the information is stored at the time of recovery can be overwritten. Try to save everything to a local disk on your computer, or to a specially prepared disk.
Step 5
The main condition for successful recovery of lost information is that after formatting a flash drive or memory card, you should not write anything to it, otherwise some clusters with files you need will be overwritten, and the probability of successful recovery will greatly drop.
