Recovering lost or deleted files

Once a drive has been opened and the file has been found in the file list view, select the file you wish to recover. To select multiple files either use the Shift key (to select several files in succession) or the Ctrl key (to select individual files) of your keyboard. If you wish to select all items in the file list view choose Select all from Edit menu.

Select "Save to..." from Object menu or click on the save button in the toolbar. Alternatively, if you select a single file you can choose "Save and view..." from Object menu to first save your file and then view it with the software applicable to the type of the file recovered.

The following window will appear:

Now select the drive and folder for the destination of the file to be recovered. This destination can either be another hard drive, a local network drive, a Zip or Jaz drive, or a floppy drive. Please notice that it is very much recommended, never to save the files to the drive or partition you recovered the data from. Otherwise other lost or deleted data could be overwritten.

If you wish to create a new directory, select the "Create..." button and select OK.

NOTE: If the file is recovered from a FAT system, you can choose the FAT number which should be used for existing (normal) files. In most cases the default option is correct. Select 'no FAT' if you accidentally reformatted your drive. Select 'FAT 2' if you know that your first FAT is damaged.

For more information on recovering files on a specific file system refer to File System Issues.


Recovering multiple directories and files
 
It is not recommended to save the contents of an entire drive in one operation. The reason for this is, that many files and directories with the same name may be found (there may also be deleted files and existing files with the same name). To speed up recovery time and insure a system that works well, the suggested method of recovery is to retrieve your own data files (documents, sheets, drawings, images, database files, etc.) and re-install any software applications.
