Part of anyone’s network security fears has to do with losing data due to deletion. Whether those deleted files are gone because of a malicious act or some accidental mistake, it is bound to happen. Or there is the simple fear of losing data due to a crashed hard drive. It all happens and you just need to be prepared for it.
I have done quite a lot of file restoration in my day. I’ve seen numerous hard drive crashes, but I’ve also had to deal with needing to recover files after a hard drive has been reformatted with Windows reinstalled on it. It is not an easy task, let me tell you. When you need to restore deleted files that were on a hard drive, those files aren’t necessarily gone for good. There are many ways you can restore them. When you tell a file to delete on your computer, technically your computer never actually erases or deletes those files. It only marks that space on the hard drive where the file existed as available. The computer then knows that it can then writes files to that location again at a later date.
When you go to reformat a hard drive, the computer goes through a process of “zeroing out” all the sectors on the hard drive. When this is done, it becomes much harder to restore files. Most software is unable to restore deleted files after that. Fortunately when I’ve had to restore deleted files, I have come across a handy piece of software that I’ve been using. It is called, quite simply, Restore Deleted Files. This piece of software allows you to do so much more that more other software programs that allow you to restore deleted files. With this software, you can restore deleted files from the recycle bin, recover your files after a hard drive crash, and even restore a hard drive after it has been reformatted with Windows reinstalled on top of it!! Not only can you restore a reformatted hard drive, which most software fails at, but it can go a step further and restore deleted files after you went ahead and reinstalled Windows!
This is a very easy software program to use. I highly recommend it even if you don’t have to restore anything at the moment. You will never know when you might need it. It has saved me numerous times. Be sure to check out this awesome piece of software called Restore Deleted Files. You can download it right from the website.
