Recover Deleted Data from Formatted Partitions, External Drives, Memory Cards


           

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.
