When you delete files on your computer, the files are not permanently gone. If you have an interest in recovering the files that you deleted because maybe they were accidentally deleted or you realized that you had important information on those files, then you need to take some precautions to ensure that the files are safe and the recovery can still be initiated. Your chances of recovery can be severely lowered if you don’t take into account that those files need to remain intact. When you first delete them they are in fact completely in tact but if you continue to use the hard drive or storage device that they were saved on then you could potentially lose them.

Recovering deleted files involves software that can access the deleted files on your storage device. When you first delete a file it is actually marked as “rewritable” but the drive does not remove the file. The space shows up to the user as free space and it appears that the file is gone forever but in reality it is not. Operating systems and storage devices have a security blanket in case of accidental deletion. Unfortunately, the security blanket needs software like REMO that can do advanced Microsoft Office File Recovery, NTFS partition recovery and deleted file recovery operations.

When you first realize that the files you cherished were deleted accidentally you should immediately stop using the drive you stored those files one. If it was your computer hard drive then you will want to download REMO right away. The quicker you use the software the better your chances of recovery. If it wasn’t your main hard drive then take out the drive the files were stored on and do not use it. Download REMO when the time is right for you and attempt the recovery process.

Windows recovery software operates best on the Windows OS

Ideally Windows recovery software must operate on the Windows platform. This way programs can be opened as fast as they are recovered to check for further file data loss and to decide whether the information is actually needed or should be discarded. The best data recovery tools access the faulty hard drive via a working “technician” computer. These allow anyone to run a fast very deep scan of an entire hard drive and also have a safe place to recover lost files to.

Using Linux as recover data software is liken to brushing your teeth with sandpaper. There is a result but not the one you want. A quality third party data recovery tool will be able to recover deleted or reformatted files under any circumstance. It should also be capable of creating a drive image as a safe partition back up and to recover files trapped inside a hard drive that is only marginally functional. Better data recovery software includes a preview function and will always be able to restore the files original name.

Another tremendous advantage of a Windows based data recovery program over that of Linux is that these programs are specifically targeted to the file types you are seeking. For example, if you are trying to recover lost camera files you will need to scan for RAW files and only a program designed as photo recovery software from the outset can do this.
