Important Recovery Tips
If you have deleted your data then please read these secure recovery tips.
-
It is VERY IMPORTANT once it is realised that data has been deleted that the drive activity is kept to a minimum. Windows, or another program, will start writing new data to the newly allocated "free" area of the drive, i.e. where the deleted or lost data is located. Stopping the use of the device (the drive) will minimise the chances of Windows overwriting the deleted data. Once a deleted file is overwritten the deleted data will no longer be recoverable.
If data has been deleted from a PC boot drive (usually the C: Drive) be aware that internet activity, email, Windows updates, instant messaging etc., can all involve writing data to this disk. Drive activity must be kept to a minimum to help ensure successful file recovery. -
Do NOT turn off your computer or disk drive device!
Shutting down and then rebooting a device may create new files, and potentially overwrite deleted or lost files. -
Do NOT install ANY software on the drive where the deleted data is located.
It is recommended that File Restore be installed on a different drive to the one where the original deleted data resides. Saving File Restore (or any other program or file, and thereby writing data) to the same drive has the potential to overwrite and permanently erase the very data that you are attempting to recover.
The default download version of File Restore includes a full install. The Full Install version will be installed on the system drive, typically the C: drive. If the lost or deleted data resides on the PC system drive, then the File Restore - Emergency Undele No Install version is recommended. The No Install version will NOT save File Restore installation files to the system drive! The No Install version will therefore minimise the chance of overwriting your deleted or lost system drive data.
No Install version
File Restore - Emergency Undelete has no product installer and will run directly from the File Restore - Emergency Undelete.exe file. File Restore - Emergency Undelete will therefore run from ANY Windows device location to which it is saved. Click here for further information. -
Do NOT save the recovered files to the same drive from where they were originally deleted. Saving recovered files to the same drive will potentially overwrite the very same files that you are attempting to recover.

Do NOT run FREE unsupported data recovery software!
File Restore is backed with comprehensive product support. FREE software can contain viruses, adware (spying), etc. File Restore is a commercial product, fully supported, certified and free from viruses, adware etc. -
Do create a drive image. If the drive containing the lost data is at risk of failing, or there is a possibility that the lost data may become overwritten, then it is recommended that an image (a copy) of the drive be created. The drive image can be opened, scanned (as with a standard drive) and the data recovered. For further details - click here

Do NOT lose important data ever again. If your deleted or lost files have become overwritten then your files will NOT be recoverable. To guarantee future recovery of your data we recommend that you take the following steps:
1. Activate and fully enable File Restore Professional NOW!
If you do not have an activation key - Click Buy Now and a key will be emailed to you within seconds of completing your purchase.
2. Run the fully enabled File Restore Professional and create an image (copy) of your drive or drives (PC, iPod, USB drive, pen drive, etc.). This will create an exact copy of all of your files.
If your files are deleted or lost in the future, a drive image will ensure that you have an exact copy of all your data. If your files are deleted or lost then the drive image can be scanned and the duplicate files restored. Guaranteed Recovery!
3. Create regular images of your drives and save them to a CD, DVD or USB attached drive.
Remember: Prevention is always better than cure!
You run security software to prevent your data from being stolen! Then why allow your data to be accidentally, intentionally, or maliciously lost forever when you can prevent this also!
