Losing files on your computer can be a frightening experienceif the files are of importance to you personally orprofessionally.

If you are trying to proceed with your hard disk recoverysolution on your own, first start with the most obvious answer.Look in your recycle bin to see if the file has been placedthere. If it is, you can choose the "restore" option, and yoursystem will automatically put the file back on your computerwhere it was stored originally. Of course, if every retrievalwas this simple, there would be no need for computerprofessionals who specialize in data recovery, so chances areyou'll need to try a different technique to find your lost data.

If you've deleted a file on your computer, and you've emptiedyour recycle bin, don't despair. When a file is deleted on acomputer, it's not erased immediately from the system. Whatactually happens is the computer marks the deleted file as"deleted", and it































































is no longer in view to users within yourcomputer's files. The file remains on the hard drive until newdata is saved over it, similar to recording songs on cassettetapes. So, in order for computer to happen onfiles that have been deleted, you'll need to attempt to recoverthem before new data has been written over the file.

The best thing you can do to increase your chances of success isto immediately stop using the computer until you've retrievedthe deleted file. The more you use your computer, the moreinformation will be saved and the more likely the informationcould be saved over the file you are hoping to get back!
