Getting
Started
Before
getting started, your success in recovering files depends a great deal on how
the disk is handled and the amount of information written to the disk after the
deletion occurred.
DO NOT CONTINUE WORK ON A HARD DRIVE CONTAINING LOST DATA!!
- You
should not continue to use the system with the deleted files.
- Do
not use the system to surf the Internet, check mail, listen to music,
watch movies, or create documents.
- Do
not reboot or shut down the system.
- Never
install software to a system containing deleted files you wish to recover.
- The
more activity the less of a chance of recovery.
- DO
NOT defragment your hard drive or execute any disk checking utilities in a
deleted recovery situation. Doing so will likely remove all remnants of
the file you are trying to recover.

For
best results, it is advisable to run EasyRecovery™ in the same session the

could be recovered completely.
