Hard drive data recovery utility for Windows
When looking for a hard drive data recovery utility, there are several capabilities to look for that do not exist in every program. The first issue to address is the need for high memory scanning speed. Most computers in need of data recovery are getting up there in age. That being the case, their processors are what could now be considered slow and their age (i.e. wear and tear from usage) hasn’t made their processors faster or the hard drives inside more smooth in operation. A data recovery program with the most modern memory scanning technology helps make up for these hardware inadequacies with its own efficiency. If you try to use an outdated recovery tool that scans quite slowly and a tired old computer in combination, you’ll end up having to spend 24 hours to as much as a week just in scanning a moderately sized hard drive. No one can wait that amount of time, and usually older computers lock up long before the scan is complete.
The second factor to consider when choosing a hard drive data recovery utility is how successfully it can find files. There are so many ways to lose files and rarely are files lost of so little importance that anyone can go on without them. Any recovery software can find deleted files, as there is not a more basic process in all of file recovery. But, many programs come up short in more difficult types of recovery. Often, files are accidentally deleted or lost and are not discovered as such until long after the data is gone. Usually, new files have been created in the meantime and the old, yet still important files have been overwritten. Overwritten file recovery is essential for any quality software to restore data. Another problem requiring powerful thorough scanning ability is when we reload the Windows operating system and reformat our hard drive, not realizing that all of our old files will be obliterated in the process.
Finally, there is one ability that all but one program is incapable of. That is crashed hard drive recovery without removal of the drive. In older programs, when one needed to recover files trapped inside of a computer displaying the Windows error screen, the hard drive had to be removed and connected via cables to a second PC to be used as a “technician” computer. Such a process is far too much for most computer users to deal with. Fortunately, a program has been created to handle crashed drive recovery without handling any hardware. That program is File Finder. File Finder is downloaded as an installation package which allows you to create a special recovery CD/DVD. You then load the disc into your crashed computer and allow it to run its own lightweight Windows operating system which only runs from RAM and the Microprocessor, allowing you to recover your files with File Finder and save them to safe external storage.
In truth, there is only one hard drive data recovery utility that can recover files at high speed, find deeply lost files and access crashed hard drives without a major hassle, File Finder.






In data recovery, product speed is one such indicator. Consider that File Finder can scan a complete 640 gigabyte hard drive in under a minute and you will realize that File Finder certainly is competitive in this area. Even factoring price and speed combined there still remains one feature that sets File Finder apart and above every other hard drive recovery program. That is File Finder’s unique Windows OS shell. File Finder loads on to your computer by means of its CD/DVD disk drive and this miniature version of Windows. This allows the File Finder program to operate with no risk of ever overwriting existing hard drive data and with no need to piggyback your hard drive on to another computer.
Lately there has been a trend among data recovery service laboratories to try to outbid each other with prices spiraling downward. Even though the average price of data recovery for a hard drive is still in the $1000 range these cheap hard drive recovery companies actually advertise prices of around $179.00. The amazing thing is that even at that price, if you engage one of these companies to recover lost files on your computer hard drive, you are still paying far in excess of a fair price. Why is this? The price these companies charge for data recovery service is outrageous because the only service they provide is to connect your computer to a working PC and scan your computer’s hard drive using a powerful data recovery program. If you were to have this program in your possession, you could do the same job yourself in just a few hours.
Years ago when we were developing File Finder as a cheap hard drive recovery tool, the basic problem we faced was that we knew the average person would find it incredibly difficult to dismantle their computer and by using cables connect their hard drive to the intricate wiring of a second personal computer. In many cases such as when dealing with an expensive laptop computer the very thought of taking apart the unit would be terrifying for the average user. We needed to find a method that enabled any basic computer owner to access all of the files on their hard drive after it had crashed. File Finder does exactly this. By means of a special file recovery disk that you are able to create on any spare computer File Finder allows you to start-up a Windows based PC even if the hard drive is crashed and the operating system will no longer load. Once you use File Finder to start the PC you can easily copy any desired files from your hard drive.
Once you download File Finder to the extra computer the installation package will guide you through a very simple process of burning the File Finder recovery disk. That disk can be made in a CD or DVD format. Obviously, if your broken computer does not have the ability to read DVDs you want to make the CD and use that as your recovery disk. Once you have created the File Finder recovery disk simply load it into the disk drive of any computer that you need to recover deleted files from or has crashed and will not load Windows. File Finder is built upon a special miniature version of Windows and will use that Windows operating system to start your failed computer. Once your computer starts up you can use the File Finder OS to recover the contents of your failed hard drive. This is the basis of crashed hard drive recovery. Once your files are safely stored elsewhere, this should be any type of external drive. Then you are free to reload your Windows operating system and place your desktop or laptop computer back into its original working condition.
