| iUndelete™
introduction |
|
iUndelete makes file undeleting from FAT, FAT32 and NTFS volumes easy. It helps you recover deleted documents, photos, archives or any other file types from hard drives, flash drives, USB drives, ZIP, SD Cards, MMC, and Firewire drives.
Unlike many other deleted file recovery utilities, iUndelete tries to
make deleted file recovery as simple as possible. Although file systems
are complex, the procedure for locating deleted files is fairly straight
forward because the file system itself is intact. iUndelete's interface reflects this 'straight-forwardness'
by avoiding the need for 'wizards'
as seen in so many other, overly complicated deleted file recovery
utilities.
Only two steps are needed to recover your deleted files: first select the drive from which the files were deleted,
then find the files and copy them to a safe place. That's all!
|
| Important: |
- Do not save or install iUndelete on the drive that contains the lost
data.
- Do not save the recovered files to the drive you are recovering from.
If you have only one partition and need to recover files from it
(and you have not yet installed iUndelete):
Stop all non data
recovery related processes and tasks. These
include automatic update tasks (Windows, Virus Scanners),
backup jobs, network sharing services, peer to peer
download programs, CD/DVD-burn sessions etc. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to defrag the drive or
allow 'chkdsk' to run. You may want to consider
disconnecting the PC from the internet before shutting
down firewalls/virus-scanners.
Then install iUndelete on another PC and copy the program file
("iUndelete.exe") to a USB key (a USB key is preferred
because it can also hold the recovered files). Then plug the USB key
into the PC that holds the deleted files and run iUndelete directly
from the USB key. |
