When you need to recover hdd data, there are many options available to you. Not all of these data recovery choices will be appealing upon investigation though. The first possibility most people look into is using a hard drive disk recovery service lab. Who wouldn’t want to make their computer troubles go away without touching their PC? But, the reality is that hiring a service company will likely result in more hassle than doing the job of data recovery personally. To begin with, most service labs charge a base fee of well over $100 just to evaluate your PC hard drive. You can expect added to that several hundred and in some cases over one thousand dollars added to the base charge for data recovery. These charges are usually for a number of procedures that your computer doesn’t even need, as PC hardware and hard drives in particular are much more mechanically reliable than in years past. Most “crashed” hard drives on computers that will not start up properly simply have lost a few files that run Windows. All that must be done is to access the perfectly good hard drive, copy the files within and then reload Windows to “fix” the computer in question. Not only are the prices for recovery services outrageous, there is also an issue of privacy. Do you really want to allow access of all your personal photos, emails and financial records to total strangers?
The second option in data recovery is to do it yourself. There are an endless number of programs available for this purpose, but do you know what is involved to use most of them? Standard data recovery programs present you with two rather precarious options. The first is that you can download the recovery software directly to a computer that is operational but contains deleted or lost files. The problem with that is you will likely overwrite the deleted or lost files you wish to recover, making the job extremely difficult or even impossible for lesser quality programs. The other option presented for standard data recovery software is to download the program to a second computer, then to connect your hard drive needing recovery by cables to the 2nd PC. By doing so, you can recover files deleted on a hard drive and not risk overwriting the files within or recover files on a crashed drive. Ordinary data recovery tools hardly qualify as “do it yourself” for most PC owners.
There is however a new way to recover hdd data that surpasses old data recovery methods in every aspect. That way is to use File Finder. File Finder recovery is done by using a special file recovery CD/DVD that you create from the downloaded installation package. As with other data recovery software, it is still recommended that you download the installation package to a second computer, if you are attempting deleted or lost file recovery, to avoid the risk of overwriting the missing files. Once you have created your recovery disc, all you must do is insert it into any PC with files to be recovered, restart the computer and it will run from the built in miniature Windows OS on the disc. This OS and the File Finder recovery program run only from the CD/DVD drive, RAM and the microprocessor, never from the hard drive you need to recover files from.
Basically, using File Finder, you won’t risk overwriting deleted files, you don’t need to touch your hardware and you can even start a computer with a crashed hard drive to access the files within. File Finder is your total recovery solution for Windows PC hard drives, flash drives, memory cards and other digital storage devices.
