The reason why I created this guide is because recently I've been having problems with one of my main hard drives which was really important to me. I emailed the business where it was bought from and all they said was to return it back to them and they would send a brand new one. They didn't even apologize [censored].
I did some searching for a decent software that would recover all data from the hard drive. Luckily enough I found what I was looking for.
Read on, and I will teach you how to recover your lost files.
NOTE: When using the software, I used my 1TB External Hard Drive which had problems. Every time it was connected to the PC it asked for Format. Using the software I was able to recover all the data from the External Hard Drive.
Requirements
EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional - Software can be downloaded from Here
Storage Device For Recovered Files - Make sure to have plenty of space for recovered files
Patient - Process can take a very long time, depends on the capacity of the Hard Drive
{It took around 3 days to recover data from my 1TB External Hard Drive}
Step 1
Download and install EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional from Here
Step 2
After installation has been completed, open EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional
Step 3 Select "Complete Recovery"
Step 4
Uncheck "Search for All "Lost File" types"
Step 3 Select "Complete Recovery"
Step 5
Check all files and click "Next"
Step 6
Message should appear up, "Please wait, scanning system..."
If message does not appear up then don't worry
Step 7
Select the storage device that you would like to recover the files from and click on "Next"
Step 8
After clicked on "Next", "Intelligent Searching" box will appear up
EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional will be searching for all the files that are stored in the storage device.
NOTE: This procedure can take a very long time. It mainly depends on the capacity of the storage device. The larger the storage device the longer it will take. As stated before, my 1TB External Hard Drive took roughly 3 days to recover all the data.
Step 9
After "Intelligent Searching" has been completed, "Complete Recovery" box will appear up. Click on "Next" to proceed to the next step
Step 10 After clicked on "Next", "Building Directory" will appear up. This is where EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional searches inside the storage device and displays the files that can be recovered.
NOTE: This procedure can take a long time, please be patient as this is the important stage of the procedure
Step 11
Files that can be recovered will appear up
1 :- Files that were stored in the storage device can be recovered. Deleted files can also be recovered. There can be a lot of folders, as this depends on the number of files that were stored on the storage device, (deleted files are also shown)
2 :- This is the total capacity that has been stored on the storage device, including deleted files.
3 :- Diagram 3 displays the key of the folders.
4 :- When checking or unchecking folders, the storage size will increase or decrease. The more folders selected the larger the file recovery size. The fewer the folders selected the smaller the file recovery size. NOTE: Make sure to have enough storage space for your recovered files.
5 :- After you have decided what folders you want to recover click on "Next"
Step 12
We're almost finished, this step is easy. Just locate where you want to recover your files to and click "Next"
1 :- Destination of the folder path is displayed here
2 :- Locate the place where you would like to recover your files to. After you have selected the location click on "Next"
Step 13
Files will now be recovering to the destination you chose.
Note: This step can take a while, but this is the important stage. If your not patient then you won't be able to recover your files.
Step 14
Recovery completed.
Files that were selected have been saved successfully. Now navigate to the destination folder and you will be able to view your recovered files.
Step 15
Don't worry your files haven't been lost, just double-click "1 FAT 32" or any other folder name it has been saved as.
Step 16
Recovered files can be found here
If you only selected a number of files then it will be displayed like picture above. But if you selected folders then you will need to continue reading the tutorial guide.
Step 17
If you selected a number of folders then your recovered files will be displayed as below:
Thats it
