Attempting to recover files doubly deleted
While most software for file recovery can locate and recover accidentally deleted files, recovery of files deleted on a crashed hard drive or deleted files on a drive that has been reformatted is a far more difficult process. Only the most powerful data recovery tools can recover files after what amounts to this double deletion process. If you are attempting to recover deleted files that have been recently removed from your hard drive that subsequently crashed or onto which you have recently reloaded your Windows operating system, you’ll need to take a very systematic approach to finding and rescuing those deleted files.
Begin by downloading onto a working Windows based PC the Remo Software data recovery tool for Windows. Next you will need to connect by means of a cable the crashed hard drive to the motherboard of your working PC onto which you have installed the Remo Software. This is far more simple than it sounds and instructions as to how to do this are included with your software installation package. You can then open the data recovery program and direct it to scan through the crashed hard drive. Even though the hard drive was unable to open using its own operating system, the combination of the working PC and the powerful data recovery software program from Remo will allow you to do so. Within minutes the software will scan through your entire hard drive and return to you a list of all existing and recently deleted files.
