Recover Deleted Files from Laptop/Pendrive/SD Card..

Many times it happens that we accidentally delete the important files. If we just press delete then we can recover it from recycle bin, but what if we Shift-Deleted..??

Don’t worry, you still have full chances to recover your files. Here I am going to make use of some software that will help in recovering those files from your Hard Drive or any other storage.

A big Question is what happens we delete the file..??
Actually there is nothing like delete in the computer. Computer never take the data and thrash it..!!
When you delete it, computer just remove the path to that data, and make that path and memory available to new data that you save later on. So unless you had save anything on that same disk you can recover for your file definitely. If you have added new data than too don’t worry, you have great chance to recover if the memory of your deleted data is not allocated.

Here works some Softwares, that look your whole memory and search for all the deleted files that can be recover..


Here’s a list of all such softwares..
  • Pandora Recovery 
  • Tokiwa DataRecovery
  • Recuva
  • Eassos Recovery
All of these recovery softwares are supported in all hard disks, memory sticks, digital camera cards, etc.

NOTE: If you just deleted some file mistakenly than don’t add any other data on that drive to have 100% chances of recovering the file.

I personally prefer and use Pandora Recovery. You can download it HERE.

Here's the full method of Using Pandora Recovery.\

·         After Downloading and Installation is done, Open the software and you will see a screen like this.
·         Initially the right pane will be empty, now in the left pane, select the drive in which you deleted the file mistakenly.
·         For a while it will check the drive and will show the folders as shown in above image.
·         Note that it will show the folders who are deleted, or any item from that folder are deleted and whose trace is still on your disk.
·         The folders or files with red cross on it are deleted ones, and others are the folders in which atleast one item is deleted.
·         Now go through the folder from which you deleted the file and find it.
·         Now right click on the file or the folder and click on Recover to, and choose the place where you want to save.

NOTE: If possible don’t try to recover on the same disk/drive from which you are recovering.

AND.. You are done. Your file is now recover and you can use it perfectly..

Feel Free to ask in case of any Probem..

How to format Write-Protected or corrupted Pendrive..??

There are various method to recover the Write-Protected or Corrupted pendrive. The method here will work for both write protected and corrupted one.

NOTE: If the Pendrive is Write-Protected, still you can copy the data from Pendrive to your Computer, So backup all data by copying. You can recover the data of Corrupted Pendrive using data recovery software. Read how to do it HERE.

Steps to Format:
  1.  Open the command prompt with Administrative privileges.Write cmd in the search menu, and right click on it and select “Run As Administrative”)Alternatively Start menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt (Right click)-> Run As Administrator)
  2. When Command Prompt opens, Type DISKPART.
  3. Then List all the disk drives by typing LIST DISK.
  4. Select your pendrive by checking the Memory of all available disk.
    (If you are not able to find your disk, then take out all the other pendrives, if attached, then the disk with less memory would be your pendrive; mainly 2 or 4 or 8 or 16 GB)
    Once you are sure of your disk, type SELECT DISK #
    (Where # is your disk number, ie if disk number is 1, then, SELECT DISK 1)
  5. Check the details of your pendrive by typing DETAIL DISK.
    You will see various details about your pendrive like company name, ID, etc.
    Search for the option “READ ONLY: Yes/No”
    If the READ ONLY : Yes is written, then the pendrive is not physically Write-protected
    If the READ ONLY : No is written, then the pendrive is physically Write-protected.
  6. Now if the option is NO, ie your disk is physically Write-Protected, then your device must contain, a key to on-off the Write-Protection. Search on your device.
    If there is no such key, then your disk may be damaged.
  7. If your Read Only: Yes, Then follow the following steps to repair it.
  8. Now type the following command to clear the Write-Protected
    ATTRIBUTES DISK CLEAR READONLY.

      NOTE:
    ·          For those who have problem of only Write-Protected can Check their Pendrive if Working properly, so "safely remove Disk" and Re-insert. If problem arises then only follow the steps ahead.
    ·         For those who have corrupted Pendrive, need to follow the steps ahead.
  9. Once you gets conformation of the above step Type the command CLEAN.
  10. Enter the command CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY.
  11. Then FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK
    (You can also use NTFS instead of FAT32, But for disks with smaller capacity, it is recommended to use FAT32. If you want to make bootable pendrive, you need to format with NTFS)
  12. Now wait for the Format to over. (It will take few minutes)
