Attention! If you have lost data on FAT or NTFS, we recommend that you first take a look at. In most cases, it shows results at the level of the best paid programs and will save you time and money.
If you need to recover from unsupported R.saver file system types, or work from Mac OS, Linux or FreeBSD, we recommend a good program written by our compatriots. It is cheaper than analogs, the results are at the same level, the range of applications is wider.
We also advise you to read the article if you are faced with this task for the first time. It describes in detail and understandably methods for recovering data from working media, and the article also describes the terminology, without knowing which it will be more difficult to understand the text.
As a rule, the algorithms of operation of various utilities differ even on the same file systems. And in case of a specific severe damage, the maximum amount of data can be restored by not the program that shows the best result in most cases. Therefore, if you find yourself in a situation where the first program you used could not save everything that was required, try a few others.
In the general case of working with physically sound drives, the algorithm is as follows: download the demo version, scan, see what has recovered, get the program that showed the best result. If the media is physically defective (or there is a suspicion of it), first make a sector-by-sector copy to a working one. You can download programs for making sector-by-sector copies from our
Below is a brief description of the interface and use of several popular data recovery software:
Detailed description of interfaces R.saver and UFS Explorer is available on their home pages and in the built-in Russian-language documentation.Warning: although the software described below does not carry out destructive actions (it should not write to the disk from which data is being restored at all), there is a certain possibility that the loss of information has occurred due to a physical malfunction that you cannot determine. And further work with this disk using software methods will lead to an aggravation of the situation, up to the complete impossibility of data recovery. Therefore, in In case of loss of critical information, we strongly recommend that you immediately contact a specialist.
We also draw your attention to the fact that in the process of data recovery, you should exclude any recording on the medium (or partition, if data is lost only on a specific partition) from which you are going to recover information. This also applies to the place of installation of the program, and the place of saving the result.
R-Studio
Developer: R-Tools Technology Inc.
Version at the time of writing: 5.4 build 134120

Key features:
- Recovery by signatures.
- Work with software and hardware RAID-arrays.
- Built-in hexadecimal editor.
- Create a startup disk for data recovery.
Interface
This program has clear instructions in Russian, where all functions are described in detail.
Launch R-Studio with administrator rights. On the left we see a list of drives connected to the system with partitions located on them (hereinafter referred to as the drive selection interface). If you select a device or section, its status and properties will be displayed on the right side of the interface. At the bottom of the screen there is an area for outputting the operation and error log, at the top we see the toolbar.
The buttons are implemented in the form of icons, the appearance of which changes from version to version. You can find out what the icon means by hovering the cursor over the button and waiting for a tooltip to appear. You can also start scanning or open a partition from the drop-down menu after right-clicking on the drive or partition icon.
data
In the case when, as a result of the performed actions, it was not possible to recover part of the data, or the recovered files contain incorrect information, then in the drive selection interface open another version of the card (from the "green" or "yellow") and repeat the operations described in paragraphs 5-8 ...
If R-Studio gives read errors, this may mean the presence of unreadable sectors. Perhaps the loss of data was caused by their appearance. The more there are, the slower scanning and reading of information will be. With a large number of bad sectors (> 50), we recommend reducing the number of read attempts. To do this, select the hard disk in the drive selection interface, select the "I / O Tries" parameter in the list that appears on the right side of the screen and set it to 1. As a radical solution to this problem, you can also advise contacting a specialized organization - there, as as a rule, there are hardware and software systems specially designed to perform this kind of work.
The package contains many functions, such as creating a virtual media image, recovering data over the network (including without loading the operating system using "R-Studio Agent Emergency"), working with RAID arrays, HEX editor, etc. There are also more fine-grained read and restore settings. But the use of these features requires a significant amount of special knowledge, so it makes no sense to describe them within the framework of one article.
EasyRecovery Professional
Developer: Kroll Ontrack
Version at the time of writing: 6.21
Demo version limitations: only recovers 1 file, works 30 days
About the program
Read access to the following file systems is possible:
System requirements:
- Windows XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows 7 on Intel compatible platform.
- A minimum of 64 MB of RAM, a mouse and sufficient disk space to store the required information (files, disk images, etc.).
- Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 or higher.
- Screen resolution is not less than 1024 x 768.
- Administrator rights? required for installation and launch.
- Disabled anti-virus protection.
Key features:
- Recover deleted files based on service records.
- Recovery by signatures.
- Reconstruction of the file system.
- Diagnostics of the state of the disk.
- "Repair" documents, ZIP archives and Microsoft Outlook files.
- Create an autorun disk for recovery or diagnostics.
- The ability to fine-tune recovery.
Interface
The software package does not have a Russian-language version of the interface and help, so working with it is somewhat more difficult.
On the left we see the toolbar, on the top - the control panel. The toolbar contains the following icons: Disk Diagnostics, Data Recovery, File Repair, Email Repair. We are primarily interested in data recovery.
In the indicated menu, we see various recovery options, a button to continue the saved recovery session and a button to create a bootable program diskette. We will not consider the last two functions now.
Approximate recovery algorithm
First, we need to decide on the type of recovery. If the file system is not damaged, no recording was made to the media, and you need to restore the deleted files - select "DeletedRecovery". If the file system has been damaged or the media has been formatted, then first we advise you to try "FormatRecovery", and if it does not help, it remains to use "RawRecovery", the result of which will be files sorted by type. The names are not restored in this case.
First, we will look at the recovery algorithm using "AdvancedRecovery", since in this case we can choose any of the above recovery types.
"FormatRecovery" differs only in that MFT search is disabled initially, and "DeletedRecovery" has settings for searching for files by mask, so there is no point in considering these types of recovery within the framework of this article.
In cases where the file system is significantly damaged, it is advisable to use the program EasyRecovery in the "RawRecovery" mode (search by signatures). The disadvantage of "RawRecovery" is that the result of recovery will be a set of files without names, sorted by type. Nevertheless, with the help of this method it is possible to recover information in the most severe cases, when all other methods have failed.
To start this mode, select the item "RawRecovery". From the list that appears, select the desired drive (the program shows the disk structure along with the partitions that have been deleted).
Press the button "Next". We are watching the progress bar, waiting for the result.
Working in this mode, the program collects files in parts based on the available signatures, the list of which can be seen by clicking the "File Types" button. Using the proposed tools, you can add your signatures.
As a result of scanning, we get a list of files with names like FIL1.RAR, FIL2.RAR, etc., sorted according to types in different folders. The functions of search, display according to the filter and viewing the contents of the file, called by pressing the buttons "Find", "Filter Options" and "View File", respectively, can help in choosing objects for subsequent saving.
We mark the checkboxes next to the necessary files and folders, click "Next", select the folder and save the recovery result into it. We can also save the session.
We are waiting for the completion of the saving process, we check the recovered data. If everything is in order, the recovery process is complete.
Manufacturers claim to work with unreadable sectors, however, with a large number of them, the program may stop working. You can use the program for sector-by-sector copying to intermediate media and work with the copy, or contact specialists.
GetDataBack
About the program
Read access to the following file systems is possible:
- Microsoft Windows: FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS.
System requirements:
- Windows 9x / ME / NT4.0 / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows 7 on Intel compatible platform.
- A minimum of 32 MB of RAM, a mouse and sufficient disk space to store the required information (files, disk images, etc.).
- Administrator rights are required to install and run under WinNT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows 7.
Key features:
- Recover deleted files based on service records.
- Recovery by signatures.
- Reconstruction of the file system.
- The ability to create an image file of a physical disk, partition or part of it.
- Supports network recovery.
- The ability to fine-tune recovery.
Interface
GetDataBack exists in two versions: for FAT12-32 file systems and for NTFS. They are sold separately.
There is no Russian-language interface and help. At the first start, the program may start with the German interface language. The screenshot shows a menu item where you can switch to English.
At the top of the window there is a control panel, on the left - useful information and tips, the work area is an instruction for choosing the desired recovery option.
The interface of the main part of the program is presented as follows: in the upper part there is a control panel, in the left - a panel for selecting a drive and its properties. On the right we see the selection of the scan area and scan settings.
Approximate recovery algorithm
The program can cope with a small number of unreadable sectors. With a large number of them, it is better to make sector-by-sector copying to intermediate media and work with the copy already.
GetDataBack Is an easy-to-use program that gives good results. In general, it is quite convenient, there are important settings. A serious drawback, in our opinion, is the separation of versions for FAT and NTFS systems. The user may not always know which of these two systems he had.
Recuva
About the program
Read access to the following file systems is possible:
- Microsoft Windows: FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS.
System requirements:
- Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / Windows 7 on Intel compatible platform.
- A minimum of 32 MB of RAM, a mouse and sufficient disk space to store the required information (files, disk images, etc.).
- Administrator rights are required to install and run under WinNT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows 7.

- "Safely delete files" function.
- The ability to recover deleted messages and unsaved documents.
- The ability to install on a portable storage.
Recuva gained popularity as it was one of the first free file recovery software. Simple and straightforward, but in terms of capabilities it is inferior to many applications on the market.
Interface
When you start it for the first time, the program immediately launches the recovery wizard, which figures out step by step what and how to recover. Working with the recovery wizard is simple, but many users will find it more convenient to recover from the main program view.
By pressing the "Cancel" button, you can disable the wizard, you can also check the checkbox so that when you start the recovery wizard does not start.
The main view of the program: at the top left is the drive selection menu, below is the scan results panel, at the top right we see the search (and filter) panel, below it is information about files (preview, summary, hexadecimal view), at the very bottom of the window is the status bar ...
Approximate recovery algorithm
From Recuva you shouldn't wait for something supernatural, but if you need to quickly and easily restore the file you just deleted, you can try. For more serious problems, we recommend that you turn to the above programs.
EasyRecovery program (www.easyrecovery.ru or www.ontrackdatarecovery.com) is considered one of the best disk analysis and data recovery tools.
EasyRecovery analyzes the physical and logical integrity of disks and immediately extracts data from them. This makes it a very convenient tool, including for data recovery right in the field. All that is needed is that the disk is in good working order (visible in the operating system) and there is space on another volume (local disk) or other media to save the recovered files.
Let's consider data recovery using EasyRecovery Enterprise ver. 11.0.2.0
After installing and launching the program, a welcome window appears, click the Continue button to start the recovery wizard.
EasyRecovery can recover information from hard disks (HDD or SSD), memory cards (flach cards: SD, CF, MMC, etc.), optical disks (CD, CD-R / RW, DVD, DVD-R / RW and etc.), multimedia / mobile devices (cameras, MP3 players, smartphones, etc.), RAID arrays.
Let's look at an example of recovering data from a Hard disk. To do this, in the program window, select the Hard Disk icon and click the Continue button.
In the next window, you must select a section (volume) to scan. The photo shows that the computer contains two hard drives, the first DISKOO (HDT721032SLA) and the second DISKO1 (Transcend).
If you have previously partitioned a hard disk into several volumes, then you need to remember exactly where the deleted information was located. An untouched disk will display only one virtual partition. Select the desired section and move on.
We will restore information from the second hard disk, for this we select volume H, this is the only volume of this hard disk and press the continue button.
- In the next window, you need to select one of the file recovery scenarios, you can make a choice in favor of one of the five scenarios:
- Search by section, if you need to save data from a valid (live) section.
- Recover deleted data, search and recover accidentally deleted and lost files. Also suitable for deleted files from the recycle bin and after formatting.
- Recover formatted media. Data recovery from formatted media devices. As well as lost files from unformatted devices. It takes more time, but the chance of data recovery is higher.
- Disk diagnostics. The disk analysis results will be displayed graphically. You can run an analysis to determine badblocks, the presence of bad blocks. Get detailed information on hard disk volumes.
- Disk utilities. Creating a disk image file and recovering from it, copying a disk, overwriting and viewing it.
Scenario 2 - Deleted Data Recovery - suits us best. To adjust the scan settings, click on the button - Click for information. Here it is possible to specify additional file systems for searching. When scanning a hard disk, be sure to check the box next to the NTFS file system.
Go to the next step, click the Continue button.
Step 4 - select scan options. In fact, at this stage it is no longer possible to choose anything. Here, the EasyRecovery program simply lets us know which data recovery configuration we have chosen. Above is the type of data carrier being restored, below is the section (volume) we have selected for scanning. Below is the recovery script and file system types. If desired, you can make adjustments to the settings by pressing the Back button. If everything is correct, then you can begin the process of searching for deleted information. Click the Continue button.
The process of searching for files deleted from the hard disk has begun. Scanning time directly depends on the size of the hard disk (partition) and the amount of information located on it. It can last from a few minutes to several hours.
At the end of the scan, the program will display a window in which you must click the OK button.
Step 5 - Selecting files to save (restore).
As the scan proceeds, the found files will be displayed in the left column of the main program window in the form of vertically arranged folders. After the search is completed, all found files by type will be distributed to the appropriate folders. Select the NTFS deleted folder. In the working field on the Table tab, we are looking for our remote folders. At the same time, you need to know that not only deleted or lost folders are shown here, but also existing ones. For convenience, existing and deleted folders are shown in different colors.
The existing folders are blue, and the lost or deleted folders are green. Select the required green folders and save them by clicking the Save button at the top of the program window. We strongly recommend that you do not save the found files to the same media, as this will not guarantee successful information recovery. In our case, recovering data from a computer hard disk using EasyRecovery went smoothly.
EasyRecovery Professional- recovering deleted files - this is the task for which the program was developed. Easy Recovery will also allow you to create an emergency bootable diskette, with which it becomes possible to boot a computer with a non-working operating system and transfer data from it to another medium.
EasyRecovery will recover files:
- accidentally deleted by the user
- after power failures and drops
- virus attack, file system problems
- various software and system failures
- formatting the disk, even with FDISK
Almost each of us at least once faced the need to recover data after formatting a hard disk or flash drive. It doesn't matter what happened - an accidental power outage, files were accidentally deleted, a program or system crashed. Even if a couple of days before the exam the virus destroyed the thesis, you can just take EasyRecovery Professional download for free for win 7 in Russian and cope with this task yourself.
Ontrack EasyRecovery is universal - it will help you recover files from FAT and NTFS partitions of IDE / ATA / EIDE hard drives, SCSI and removable media, especially since the program can be downloaded for free and in Russian. Use the built-in Ontrack Data Advisor utility to quickly and fully diagnose the status of local drives.
Easy Recovery can be used both for complete diagnostics of the file system and for recovering 225 different types of files, Zip archives. EasyRecovery Professional free download Russian version recognizes audio files, video recordings, a wide range of music formats, including MIDI. Not to mention such widely used formats as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access.
I would like to separately note that the full version on the developer's website will cost $ 149. You can download easyrecovery professional for free for win 7 in Russian from our website, without registration. Thanks to its accessible interface, this data recovery software is available to everyone, even a non-professional.
Ontrack EasyRecovery is a complete and well-known program for recovering deleted files on a USB flash drive and computer hard drive. Everyone knows that files that the user has destroyed by standard means are not completely deleted, but only marked for deletion.
Such files can be easily recovered using professional software, but only if the correct approach to solving this problem. And only after several cycles of rewriting information on such a HDD partition, the information can be lost forever. If everything is done according to the instructions, then, for example, it will not be difficult at all to recover files deleted from the recycle bin.
Ontrack is an excellent set of data recovery tools for accidentally emptying the Windows Recycle Bin, deliberately deleting it through user fault, virus activity, or other malicious software attacks.
In addition, the program is able to bring back to life those files that were destroyed as a result of formatting the hard disk. The likelihood of success is very high, especially in cases where such a HDD partition was not used in work or its use was limited.
Ontrack EasyRecovery Professional provides functionality that allows you to create a bootable CD and boot from it before starting the operating system. This will significantly improve the efficiency of the program, since only Ontrack will have access to the file system.
All data that will be found in the program for recovering deleted files is recommended to be copied to a separate section of the hard disk.
Unfortunately, in our time we run the risk of losing important information for us as a result of exposure to unwanted software (viruses), due to our own inattention, as well as due to the negligence of third parties who also have access to the computer. Regular data backup (backing up data to portable media) or constant monitoring of the activities of any process that has access to computer files can help in such a situation.
But how to produce data recovery from hard drive or flash drive, if trouble has not spared and the user has lost important information for him?
To do this, just run the program EasyRecovery Professional and then choose a suitable algorithm for its operation.
First, you need to specify the type of media that needs to be scanned, and then select the algorithm of the program (depending on how the data was lost, due to formatting the disk or emptying the recycle bin).
The functionality of this utility allows you to fine-tune the utility settings, but as practice shows, these 2 modes are most often used by users.
Considering in more detail the functionality of this excellent tool, we see that the program makes it possible to find files in more than 200 different formats on the carrier, among which there are multimedia data (audio, video, images), text and working documents, as well as many other types of data.
This Windows program for recovering deleted files is interesting not only in terms of recovery, but also due to the functions that allow you to restore archives and files created in Microsoft Office programs. A special module FileRepair is responsible for this.
It is worth noting that the Data Advisor subroutine included in the utility allows you to monitor the state of hard drives and file systems and to identify in advance the causes that may lead to undesirable consequences in the future.
EasyRecovery software will be a necessary tool for IT professionals, extremely useful for the management of any organization, as well as for ordinary users, because data loss is critical not only for business, but also often fraught with ordinary computer users. The convenience of working with the utility is achieved thanks to a well-thought-out user interface, and a successful result is achieved due to the time-tested functionality of the built-in utilities.
Ontrack EasyRecovery Professional will be useful in the following situations:
- accidentally emptying the trash or deleting it using the Shift + Del key combination;
- the impact of an aggressive virus attack that led to the loss of data on the hard drive;
- loss of files caused by power surges in the network;
- loss of information due to incorrectly configured HDD partitions and damage to file systems;
- the need to recover data after formatting the hard drive.
If you are interested in how to use Easyrecovery, then in this article we will tell you about working with this program. But, I want to say right away that if you have a poor idea of how the information recovery process takes place, and the data itself is valuable to you, then we do not recommend conducting independent recovery attempts. As our practice shows, in some cases, after incorrect actions of users, it becomes simply impossible to recover data. The best option for you would be to contact a specialized Paradise-R data recovery laboratory.
How to use Easyrecovery Professional?
To understand how to use Easyrecovery Professional, you need to know that a hard drive is a rather complex hardware and software device, which requires specialized software in case of problems.
Unfortunately, the hard drive is not a reliable data storage. For a variety of reasons, a malfunction and power failure, a virus attack and even ordinary disk wear can occur.
But when the user once again records on him a precious video, personal photos, he does not take into account the fact that this may be the last action after numerous previous operations with the device. And it is possible that information from it can be damaged, disappear and completely become inaccessible.
To prevent this from happening, we recommend purchasing hard drives with a large amount of RAM, defragmenting and analyzing for bad sectors more often in order to eliminate them in time. But nevertheless, if the problem overtook you, then only specialized programs will help here. One of these is easyrecovery pro.
Easyrecovery enterprise 11 1 0 0 x32 64 portable rus is a professional set of software tools that allows you to easily recover deleted or formatted data from a hard drive or usb drive without much difficulty and problems. At the same time, the software package is capable of working with common NTFS and FAT file systems.
First, you need to download the program. This can be done on the same site along with the localization. Easyrecovery instructions in Russian will allow you to understand the principle and procedure for working with software so as not to bring additional harm, especially for hard drives, especially those with an old IDE bus.
After downloading and installing the program on your PC, we will Russify it. To do this, install the patch, and in the program itself "in the properties" change the language to Russian.
Next, let's start learning how to use easyrecovery professional.
How does the program work?
Easyrecovery - program menu
The process of writing data to a hard disk or flash is carried out in the same way: over existing files with the creation of a data table in which its name, creation date, etc. are written. It is with this data that other programs work with the saved data.
So, what can easyrecovery do and how to recover files from a USB flash drive or hard drive?
- carrier diagnostics;
- data recovery (partitions, sectors);
- recovery of Outlook mail.
Let's consider step by step how each action is performed:
Diagnostics - for this, go to the "Disk Diagnostics" section. As in other packages, it is located very first.
As you can see, there are five tabs in the screenshot, each of which has a specific function. In the Russian version of the program, there is an explanation under the names of the tabs. Therefore, how to use easyrecovery pro, there should be no questions.
- Drive Test checks the disk for hardware problems and other defects, the occurrence of which is more mechanical than software. Launching this function will allow you to determine whether to carry out data recovery.
- Smart Test shows the current state of the media. This check is recommended only for SATA drives.
- Disk Displayer provides the user with information about the hard disk used and free space.
- Partition Test checks the file system of the disk. When starting this procedure, all unnecessary processes must be terminated, otherwise the program will diagnose false errors.
- The last tab allows you to create a bootable floppy disk, but this is no longer relevant, since the latter are practically out of use, not to mention floppy drives.
