This article will serve to inform you as to how to recover data that has been accidentally deleted from your computer or is locked away in your computer due to a hard drive crash. Before we begin you should understand that the purpose of data recovery is not to repair your broken hard drive. The purpose of data recovery is to rescue from that drive any or all stored files that you may deem of importance or of value. Once we have rescued all of your stored files, repair of the hard drive and the consequent return to operation of your PC is accomplished by simply reloading your Windows operating system.
We start the process of data recovery by downloading onto any friend’s or spare computer the File Finder installation package. This includes the File Finder program mounted as an image, a free CD/DVD burner program and initial instructions that will show you how to make the File Finder recovery disk. The instructions will guide you but basically you should know that all you are doing is burning any DVD with the File Finder program on it. This will allow you to load File Finder onto any computer working or not by means of its disk drive. Once File Finder loads this way, you will be able to start your computer and copy from its hard drive on to safe external storage such as a book drive all of your previously unreachable files.
