Recover deleted files in Windows XP or Vista

Have you just accidentally or intentionally deleted some files from your computer running on a Windows operating system, and realize that now you need them back. Don't panic, chances are very high that you can easily recover these deleted files.

The most popular editions of Windows Operating System are Windows XP and Windows Vista. Each comes in two versions, those being home (designed for basic use) and professional (designed for business or large organizations). With features like easy to use interface, security, manageability and reliability, Windows XP and Vista make all of the features of Window OS workable for both novice and expert users. .

Irrespective of the Windows operating system you use, files purposely or mistakenly deleted from Windows are recoverable using a powerful program to recover deleted files from Disk Doctors. This program is Disk Doctors Undelete. Regardless of the cause of a file being deleted, let us first discover what happens behind the scene when a file is deleted.

When you delete a file (a simple delete or using Shift+Del keys), it is not completely wiped-out from the computer. Only the deleted file entry is removed from the directory that Windows keeps for the disk. The sectors of the hard drive where the file resides are marked as available to hold new data. Thus, avoid adding/saving new data file to the hard drive after file deletion. This might actually erase the data by over writing it and further leading to permanent data loss. Until the operating system overwrites the files, they still exist on the hard drive and are recoverable with the help of good data recovery software.

Disk Doctors Undelete can recover deleted and lost files from all Windows file systems including the FAT and NTFS file systems. The application easily locates the deleted files and recovers them all unless they have been overwritten by the operating system.

Here is a simple explanation of all you need to do to recover deleted files with help from Disk Doctors Undelete.

Stop using the computer
Do not install any new software or save any new data after file deletion
Do not try to run the system utilities such as Defragmenters and volume repair utilities
Do not run CHKDSK
Do not attempt to format the drive or change the partitions
Download and install the trial version of Disk Doctors Undelete on a healthy machine and connect the hard drive containing deleted files as a secondary drive and test run the program to see if your deleted files are found
If yes, then proceed ahead recovering your deleted files.

Yep, I used our scanpst.exe as well as 4 other utilities. Yours was the only one that showed me it could recover messages.

Yes it really did work! My drive was "unreadable" by windows or anything else I threw at it. The drive was good, but no data. This software brought back about 95% of a 500GB drive!

Thank you! It is nice to deal with professionals!
In spite of my PC being re-imaged, having several applications installed and being used daily for about a week, your product was able to recover most of my lost files!
