Recovery of Crashed or Deleted Data from Windows

Rescuing deleted or formatted data from Windows is become lot more easier now days because we have several devices, free and paid utilities and even data recovery software to recover lost/deleted files, mails, partitions etc. Everyone gets panicked when their hard disk or windows got corrupted because they hadn't taken backup of their Emails, Files or any other general data. It would be really surprising if recovering data from corrupted Windows or failed hard drive is becomes easy and anyone can do it at home or office in short time. Let’s see few insights about data recovery…  

Where the files are gone after deleting

It's true that the files & folders deleted from recycle bin are not completely gone from the hard drive and still exists in different locations. Only the space has been marked as free by the operating system to store new files.  

When any files are deleted using Windows explorer, the files were moved to recycle bin and can be easily restored by using restore procedure. So at first, you should look at recycle bin and see if the desirable files are there but if it's not, that means your files were gone and you need to opt for standard data recovery software to recover it back.  

Chances of Recovery:

The operating system hasn't immediately use the space from delete files, The deleted file can be restored right after the deletion or for a considerable time periods. As sooner as you try to restore formatted files, chances of data recovery will be high, because once the space has been overwritten, the deleted data would become undetectable or non recoverable by any data recovery software. 

Restoring Trashed Files

By using specialized third party tools, you can recover deleted data from the hard drive or inaccessible Windows. These software uses sophisticated deep scanning mechanism to give you the best possible chances of recovering data without modifying actual data. Once the space is overwritten, there is no guarantee that the deleted file can be recovered because the software would unable to locate the freed space occupied by a deleted file.  

I recommend to use Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery products for best results because these software are WYSIWYG (What-You-See-is-What-You-Get) and uses powerful techniques to search and recover data. You can see the preview of recoverable files in free version but it won't let you recover the file. You have to go for paid version for full recovery.

Please note that if you have a crashed hard drive or inaccessible windows, then you need to send your hard drive to Stellar data recovery services for salvaging your data.
