How to restore files with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard

Why can you restore files?

When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren't immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table so that the file entry won't be displayed in My Computer or a commandline DIR command, etc. So, it is possible to restore the files before the space is overwritten by new contents.

The sooner you try to restore files, the more successful you'll be. If your hard drive is pretty full, the odds are much greater that Windows will grab your precious unallocated space for its next write. Or, if you defrag the hard drive, you run the risk of unused parts of the drive being overwritten and lose your chance to restore files.

So the first rule is: STOP USING THAT COMPUTER IMMEDIATELY! Add the hard drive to another computer as second internal hard drive. Then boot another computer to install EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard.

To restore files from a drive containing deleted files or folders, follow these steps:

• 1. Install EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard on another computer.
• 2. Launch the software, click the "Deleted File Recovery" button on the main user interface.
• 3. All the partitions of the Hard Drives are listed in the next step.
• 4. Select the partition where your lost files lies. Click "NEXT" button to search.
• 5. Data Recovery Wizard will read file system on selected volume and search the files.
• 6. Wait while the searching is in process. The time depends on the size of the disk.
• 7. After the searching is finished, you will see a files tree.
• 8. The "Searching files" or "Find file by name" option allow you to find the file you need much easier. The software also provide "Preview" before restoring.
• 9. Select the files and folder you want to restore and click "Next" button.
• 10. Define a destination on to save the restored files (do not save to the partition where you still have deleted files to restore)
• 11. Cheers, your lost files is restored.
