MiniTool Power Data Recovery

There are many problems which can lead to lost data, but there is only one way to solve them. If you wish to salvage your lost files, you should turn to a specialized application. MiniTool Power Data Recovery can scan the hard drive for deleted files and recover them. The software can also recover damaged or lost partitions and it has a special function for recovering images, music and videos.

MiniTool Power Data Recovery is absolutely free, but it is also available in various paid versions, which offer more features. Furthermore, the software comes in PC and Mac editions. It can be installed in less than a minute and you don't have to meet any special requirements or sacrifice too many resources. Installing the software on a partition on which you wish to recover files is not recommended, because it may overwrite the lost files.

The program provides different modules, for recovering files, partitions, media files and so on, which are represented by large icons on a home screen. They will take you to the same user interface, which has subtle differences, depending on the operation you wish to perform. The recovery interface is laid out like a standard explorer window, but it displays additional options, for finding and filtering files, previewing them and of course, recovering deleted data.

Before you start exploring your local folders, you must select a hard drive or partition and scan it. In certain cases, the software will perform a quick scan, but if you perform an advanced operation, like recovering a partition, it will perform a full scan of the entire hard drive. When recovering deleted files, you will not find all your local folders on the user interface. MiniTool Power Data Recovery displays only the folders which contain deleted files, to make them easier to find.

Deleted, lost or raw files are marked with different icons. To recover deleted files, all you have to do is click their corresponding check boxes and hit the Save option, located on the left side of the interface. The program's digital media recovery module will perform a full scan on a selected partition. It displays deleted data the same way, but it is limited to images, music and videos. When recovering files, you should avoid saving them on the same partition, especially if you wish to recover other files at a later date.
