Why Is My Data Recovery Failing

Common causes include failed components, overwritten data, severe malware, or attempts to recover deleted data that is already fragmented from a drive, where the data is truly gone or unreadable.

"Why are recovery tools not working? Why are all my photos only showing halfway?"

"My lost video is recovered, but the screen is still black when playing!"

"Can an SD card that has been formatted many times be recovered?"

The Process of a File Being "Shredded" After Deletion

Generally, files are stored on a hard drive in contiguous fragments. After deletion, the connection information between these fragments is lost, and the file becomes a set of "puzzle pieces." The following demonstrates how a complete file becomes fragmented, and the problems encountered by recovery software when attempting to recover it:

Complete File

All data is stored contiguously and can be opened normally.

File Fragmentation

The file was deleted/formatted, resulting in scattered fragments.

Recovery Attempts

Critical fragments are missing or overwritten, making complete reconstruction impossible.

Major Points: Push Data Recovery Boundaries

We can use fragment reconstruction technology to piece together damaged photos and black-screen videos, enabling devices that have undergone multiple read/write operations or formatting to recover their original data.

SmartSector Rebuild (SSR) Engine

  • Targeting the cluster chain loss issue, the fragment recovery algorithm in EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard has been fully optimized - a pivotal upgrade for FAT32/EXFAT fragment data recovery and RAW drive data recovery.
  • By analyzing residual file metadata and the physical adjacency of data blocks on storage disks, the enhanced algorithm accurately targeted optimization boosts the success rate of fragmented file recovery by 30%, delivering more reliable outcomes for users tackling complex data loss scenarios.

EaseUS Will Reassemble the Fragments Automatically

Our automated data recovery technology eliminates tedious manual steps for both beginners and pros handling FAT32/EXFAT/RAW-fragmented data, ensuring hassle-free operation while maintaining high recovery accuracy.

  • Detect more previously overlooked data fragments.
  • Automatically identify which fragments originally belonged to the same file via in-depth data block analysis.
  • Reassemble fragments in their correct original sequence to restore files to a fully usable state.

Solutions: Apply SSR Tech to Multiple Data Recovery Scenarios

Comprehensive, user-centric data recovery solution for FAT32/EXFAT/RAW drives – catering to fragmented file recovery needs of beginners, IT pros, and business users.

Recover data from repeatedly used USB flash drives

Recovering partitions and photos/videos/files deleted from USB drives, even if the drives have been repeatedly formatted.

Recover data from long-used FAT32 SD cards

Why Can't Others Recover, but EaseUS Can

Most regular data recovery tools can only retrieve intact files, yet the files you need to recover are often fragmented and broken into pieces. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, however, excels at recovering these fragmented files seamlessly.
