Postby earthsalt » 24 Feb 2017, 05:12

I need to extract some vital information from a hard disk that has just fried. Can someone please suggest a software that would help me out?

I have tried free software with name - "PC Inspector File recovery". That software has recovered a lot of stuff from my hard disk. I'd definitely consider that.

I am a mere tech novice. Please clarify some important matter. What specific steps did you use to extract this data?

I recently used a program called Recuva after accidentally deleting the wrong photo from my camera. It works for deleted files on hard drives too but I'm not sure whether it will work if there's something wrong with your hard drive.

Whatever program you use, there should be instructions on the site from which you download it. Most of them are pretty easy to use.

I see.
You know. The fear of the unknown always haunts me whenever I am using new technology.

Sometimes it worries me too, but most of the software in use today is really easy to learn. Everything is a lot simpler than it was when I got my first computer in the 1990s.

Download the application. Run it. And then it shows options where you have to choose the drive which requires recovery of data.

Recuva is a breeze. With this software, you only need to select they type of file you want to recover and show where it's likely to be in your computer. Recuva does all the rest for you.
