HDD Data Recovery Tools - PC Inspector File Recovery

     PC Inspector File Recovery - quite simple but, most importantly, a completely free tool to recover data on hard and floppy disks. It can take advantage of everyone by downloading the program from the developer's site (www.pcinspector.de). The effectiveness of a medium - on the one hand, claimed opportunities to restore lost files, support for all file systems Windows; the other - in practice, the work program is working as it half-heartedly - restores something, and something can not see the "point-blank" . Given the fact that its developers also offer paid services to restore the lost information, it seems that the possibility of free PC Inspector File Recovery is intentionally flawed - otherwise who then there will be traded on a fee basis? ..

     In the PC Inspector File Recovery, are organized three major search engine and recover lost data. When the program starts immediately you are asked to choose one of the ways of further work (Fig. 1): Recover deleted files - restore deleted files in a standard way the OS, bypassing the recycle bin Windows, of course; Find lost data - recovery of lost information due to file system damage or formatted disks - one of the most popular tools; Find lost drive - search logical drives that are invisible to the operating system, and restore them. The latter option can be used if the logical drive containing the information deleted, that is missing from the partition table, and do not see the OS - in truth, it means in the PC Inspector File Recovery shows a very low efficiency.

(Fig. 1)

     When you choose one of the ways below to restore the program first scans your system, and then offers mext window, from which to select a logical drive that contains information of interest to recover. And if you select Find lost data or Find lost drive in the logical drive in the tab list, there are two logical drives, repeating each other (Fig. 2), which sometimes can be confusing. The first is the list of logical drives for each physical disk «on fixed disk ...», and then a list of logical drives, indicated by letter - just as they are seen by Windows. In general, the first and second lists often repeat each other, especially if the system has only one disk. If your computer has more HDD's, then the order of the sections for the individual drives in Windows, the list of symbols and logical drives will already be different - depending on the way in which, say, the sections were selected active in partitioning hard drives. If the hard disk has lost logical drives, then they can only be displayed in the list shown to the physical device («on fixed disk ...»). Information on the amount of detected hard disks and partitions can be seen in the tab Physical drive.

(Fig. 2)

     If the method of recovery was given, and a list of the logical drives in front of you, then further reduced to the user the choice to drive from one of the lists, which should contain the data of interest to him. When you double-click on it with your mouse starts scanning the selected logical drive, the time is determined by the size of the disk and the power of the computer - the process usually takes 10 to 30 minutes. After scanning window pops PC Inspector File Recovery, which displays the information available for recovery. If was used the mode Recover deleted files, then the data will be found in the Deleted folder in the PC Inspector File Recovery. When restoring by modes Find lost data or Find lost drive found to restore the data will be displayed in folders or Lost Root respectively. Usually the names of the directories in the root of the restored disk will not be saved and replaced with the name of the program such as cluster ... (Fig. 3), and the names of the subdirectories and files, usually retain their original names.

(Fig. 3)

     To save the files and directories you are interested, is enough to click on the right mouse button on a name in the right window of PC Inspector File Recovery, and then, after selecting the Save to, in the context menu the location of the object being restored (Fig. 4). There is no guarantee that, after going through all the steps and even maintain the appearance of the file on disk, it will then open correctly or work. It is also necessary to note that often the search and recovery of information in the root folder of Root, Deleted, Lost, Windows PC Inspector File Recovery does not appear pre-existing files with the name of the type cluster ... with unrealistic size, extension and creation dates.
