How to recover permanently deleted files from pen drive or harddisk?



Pen drives are important storage devices for a person who has to make the information travel from one system to another.However the statistics says that pen drives brings maximum data losses due to some known or unknown reasons.



Some of the reason for pendrive data lost are:
1. Error: "The Drive F: has not been formatted, do you want to format it now?"
2. Formatting the drive or deleting folders and files by accident
3. Unpredictable power down when you plug in computer
4. can't "Safely remove hardware" in Windows
5. Virus attack
6. Frequently use
7. More unknown reasons & many more...

It’s happened to everyone. You drag some files to your Recycle Bin, and not thinking you empty the bin. Your important documents were in there! All may seem lost, but there are programs available that can potentially recover those files from you.

How to perform pendrive recovery...???

To retrive back pendrive data you need some pendrive data recovery software which is a safe and professional tool otherwise low level programs may corrupt your data.Some good recovery softwares are Wondershare data recovery for windows,iCare Data Recovery software, Puran File Recovery ,Glary Undelete,Recuva Restoration etc. which are absolutely free.
After installing installing the software follow these steps :

1)Run the file-recovery program.
If you have a portable file-recovery program, insert the USB drive in the computer you want to recover on, and run the program. If you’ve installed a file-recovery program, run it.
Most programs will be able to recover from both hard drives and USB drives, so you don’t need to download separate programs for each one.

2)Tell the recovery program where to scan.
If you are trying to recover files from a hard drive, make sure that you have the correct drive selected. If recovering files from a USB drive, make sure the drive is inserted and then select it from the list.

3)Tell the program what types of files to look for.
Not all recovery programs will ask for this, and it is not necessary even if they do, but it can speed up the search if you narrow the field.

4)Browse the list of recoverable files.
Some programs will allow you to preview the files it is able to recover. Look for the file you need and follow the program’s specific instructions on how to recover it.
Some programs will be able to restore the file to its original location.
Many files will not be 100% recoverable. This is because entire files aren’t always written to the exact same location on the disk, so parts may get overwritten. Files that are not 100% will often not be able to be opened.

5)Take the drive to a data recovery specialist


If your drive is non-functional, a data-recovery program will not work because it needs to be able to access the drive. In order to attempt to recover data from a dead drive, you will need to take it a professional who is equipped with the lab and tools necessary to extract the plates from the drive and recover the data.

Do remember

Have patience. The initial scan can take a long time depending on the size of the drive.
Keep in mind, no changes to the drive as soon as you realize the files are gone.
Do regular backups of your computer and you'll be able to 'time travel' on your computer to before you deleted the file. Then you won't have to go through all this again.
