We have all lost items while working on the computer by accidentally deleting them or someone lost them for you. This can be very frustrating, as some files are very important to our livelihood. Or maybe just important because they are personal. If you have looked everywhere, even the Recycle Bin, the following are hints and ideas to help you. It would be helpful to try them.
Let's start with lost files, which may still be on the disk. Don't give up hope. It is important to try all of you options. Use a tool such as File Recover or Uneraser to retrieve it. It is easy to use. Here are several ideas to get that file back intact. With a broken up disk and lost items from a file, the recovery software will quite likely not know what to do. The more simple the file, the better chance of recovery. For the most difficult recovery jobs, Partition Recovery is what we have found to be the best. Better yet is a real human to help you out, a data recovery specialist. These angels are trained at putting back together the pieces of files. If your data were valuable, it would be worth it to enlist their aid. It will cost a little more, but you will be glad you called for their help.
Now let's talk a little bit about recovering photos that you just can't find. You will need to know what you are looking for and how it is saved. Is it saved in JPEG maybe? You need to find out. Here again you will need recovery software that is compatible with your file. For digital images you can use Flash Recovery however you cannot use this for those burned on you CD.
To recover Microsoft Office documents a great system to try is DOC Regenerator. You can try this free of charge. That way you can determine if the recovery works for you. before you spend the money on it. To repair a damaged Office document we recommend Advanced Word Repair or Advanced Excel Repair.
Because emails are not saved as individual files, these ideas do not work for them. Emails can only be recovered by normal file recovery ways if the entire file has been lost or deleted. A lost email may have been moved to a special folder if you have set this up. This folder allows you to recover anything lost. Emails can be recovered using unique email recovery software. Once again you need to acquire an email recovery system specialized for you software. Outlook Express Repair if very good and anyone can figure it out. If you have Microsoft Outlook files you will need to get Advanced Outlook Repair which cost more. But it is worth it.
