Amazingly many people still believe that once they delete a file from their computer it is lost forever. In truth very rarely is deleted information lost or unrecoverable. Anyone can easily retrieve lost data with a few simple tools and the information on this file recovery tutorial. The first step for restoring lost or damaged data is to determine where you want to scan through. If you last saw your files while downloading from your digital camera then you will need to search the card or camera’s storage. If you were transferring data using a USB flash drive then that drive more than likely still holds your information. And, if you simply deleted from your PCs recycle bin, then you will need to search through your computer’s hard drive.
Complete retrieval of data without touching your computer’s hardware
The next step in our file recovery tutorial is to equip ourselves with software designed to scan digital storage devices and recover lost files. The best program available for this purpose is FileFinder. It is inexpensive and will work on any PC.
Our software differs from most data recovery programs in that it does not require a separate or “technician” computer to be hooked up to the hard drive that holds the missing digital information. This requires complete dismantling of two computers and is ridiculously impractical.
Rather, FileFinder uses a built in Windows shell that allows it to be run directly from any PC’s CD drive and in essence turn the broken computer into the working technician computer. Still let us continue our lesson in finding lost data.
Our included file recovery tutorial makes rescuing your data easy
Once you have followed the installation instructions for FileFinder and created the special recovery disc simply load it into the computer you wish to restore files on. 
You will be prompted once to load the program and after doing so the application will appear before you on your screen.
The included instructions will also need to be loaded and once you do simply follow the steps laid out before you.
FileFinder is capable of four different levels of recovery each more powerful than the next so there is no chance that your specific need cannot be handled.
The instructions are the continuation of this tutorial and will lead you to successful rescue of lost or damaged files of any kind including documents, emails, photos, videos and music. Even compressed data will be located and restored with FileFinder.
