Data Recovery - What Not to Do!


Data recovery is a tricky thing, and if you've somehowdeleted or had your important files corrupted or lost due tohuman error, business espionage, faulty hardware or softwareor any other reason; the good news is that your lost datais probably recoverable. This article will show you a fewthings NOT to do when an event such as this occurs.

Don't run the drive anymore, or use the device. (MP3,portable storage, camera card, whatever) If you think itwon't hurt to even just poke around the internet for asolution to this mess you've made/found, you're wrong! Don't install or run anything on the drive you hope to recover data from. Only access this drive again from ahealthy PC with the software solution you're going to use.Since files are overwritten in the order they've beendeleted, the last files that have been excised from yourdrive will be the first to be lost permanently. Even justsurfing, with all the cookies and temporary internet filesthat are always being generated will often doom the processwithout you even knowing about it.

Don't use tools that may reside on your computer, such asScandisk, or a boot record utility, as these will probablyoverwrite exactly the files you're seeking to get back.

In short, be careful! Your data may very well berecoverable, as long as you don't do something to erase itforever! Find a good data recovery software solution, andthen follow the instructions to the letter, and you'll morethan likely live to see your lost data return!
