Most Windows data recovery software has a built in flaw that makes it extremely limited in use and extremely difficult to use. The problem with most Windows data retrieval utilities is that they must be downloaded onto the very computer from which you need to retrieve deleted files. When we download or install any program on to our computer’s hard drive, its placement on the sectors of that drive is extremely random. So much so that there is every likelihood the program we download with the intent of using to rescue our deleted files will very likely overwrite the information we hope to save. Once we overwrite the stored information, the underlying file is usually lost forever. For this reason most data recovery companies suggest that you download their program onto a separate computer and connect your other computer’s hard drive to this “technician” computer by means of serial cables. Seldom does the average computer owner have spare hard drive connection cables line about. And usually the technician computer and the computer from which you need to rescue deleted items are incompatible.
When we created FileFinder, we set out to eliminate the risky download problem. We did this by creating Windows data recovery software which will start and run your computer directly from your computer’s microprocessor and short term memory. This way it is impossible to overwrite any stored files and there is never any need for a technician computer or cables.
