You are in a middle of a very important work
and suddenly your laptop computer fails to boot
or you deleted your project folder by mistake and your lose all your weeks of
hard work in a snap. Don’t panic there is still ways to retrieve lost data.
Nowadays there are many data recovery
softwares that will help you to recover data you have accidentally deleted from
your laptop or external hard drive, or photos stored in memory cards of your
camera. But they are expensive and out of reach for many. But here is a tool
from EaseUS which is free for up to 2GB and is powerful.
EaseUS
Data Recovery Wizard
This free data recovery software has 3 modes
that help you retrieve all lost files
1. Deleted File Recovery –
Recover lost images, videos and documents from PC/Laptop, any hard drives,
USBs, Memory Cards, Digital Cameras and other storage media.
2. Complete Recovery –
Recover critical system data due to formatting, system re-installation,
power-off, virus attack, inaccessible/raw partition etc.
3. Partition Recovery –
Recover file sectors and other data from deleted, formatted, inaccessible,
partition lost, system restore etc.
Unlike most free data recovery tools where
there is a chance some of the recovered data might be missing, EaseUS does a
really good job of getting back lost files. I tested the tool by copying few
different types of files in my USB drive, memory card, hard drive and then
deleted them.
Then I launched EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
free, and choose the module suitable for USB device data recovery. The
choice would “Partition Recovery” when files get deleted or corrupted from an
USB partition.
On the next screen we can choose the type for
files we want to recover. I chose the types I deliberately deleted. Next, we
have to choose the drive or the device from which the files got deleted and
want them to be scanned, so the tool can star searching lost USB partitions to
recover.
After scanning is complete it will show
file-folder tree where it previews the files that were deleted before you can
recover. Once we choose the files and proceed to the next step, it will run the
retrieval tool and attempt to get back those deleted files. In most cases there
will be 100% success. In case, I got back all my files with no issues of data
corruption. I suggest you give it a try.
Everyone faces these issues once in a while
where they lost important data stored on their computer. Hence people should protect themselves from losing data
during a unforeseen PC disaster or in a lost and stolen incident.
