Active@ Partition Recovery Quick Guide

Active@ Partition Recovery is a data recovery utility that you can use to:

• Find and recover deleted partitions and logical drives
• Create a Drive Image for backup purposes
• Fix or create a typical MBR (Master Boot Record)

This means that you can recover deleted or damaged partitions located on data volumes (D:, E:, and so on), attached hard drives, as well as on the external USB drives and Memory Cards (SunDisk, MemoryStick, CompactFlash, etc.).

On a system partition, BOOT.INI is corrected automatically (if required) in order to repair an un-bootable system. Boot Sectors on the damaged volume are also being corrected in order to maintain the integrity of the partition. This utility also enables you to fix a damaged MBR and to delete invalid partitions.

Data Recovery Tips

DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING ONTO THE DRIVE THAT CONTAINS YOUR IMPORTANT DELETED DATA!

When you install software, you write data onto the disk which can destroy your deleted data. If you have only one logical drive, physically remove the hard drive from the computer and install it as a secondary logical drive on another computer where data recovery may be possible.

DO NOT SAVE RECOVERED DATA ONTO THE SAME DRIVE THAT CONTAINS THE LOST OR DAMAGED DATA!

When saving recovered data, you are writing records to the file table. If you write these records on the same drive that contains the damaged data, you are destroying the file table records that you are trying to recover. At the same time, you are probably destroying the file table records for other deleted entries. It is best to save recovered data on another logical, removable or network drive.

CREATE A RAW DISK IMAGE IF YOU HAVE AN EXTRA HARD DRIVE, OR OTHER LOGICAL DRIVES THAT ARE BIG ENOUGH!

A Raw Disk Image is a single file that stores all the data from your logical drive or physical device as a mirror image. Having a Raw Disk Image can be useful when you want to back up the contents of the whole drive, and restore it or work with it later. Before you start recovering deleted files, it might be a good idea to create a Raw Disk Image for the one drive, if you have enough space on another drive. If you do something wrong while recovering the files (for example, recovering them onto the same drive and destroying the data), you will be able to recover these deleted files and folders from the Raw Disk Image that you have wisely created in advance.

Find and recover deleted partitions and logical drives

To find and recover deleted partitions and logical drives:

1. From the Active@ LiveCD shell, click Start > Favorites > Active@ Partition Recovery.

The Active@ Partition Recovery workspace appears with all available devices listed in a tree view under Local System Devices.

2. To scan an unallocated space, select it. Known details of the selected item are displayed in the right pane.

3. To scan the unallocated space in basic mode, do the following:

a. Click Quick Scan.

4. If you cannot see a logical drive, to process the whole surface of a disk, select it and click SuperScan and the Super Scan Options dialog box will open. Do the following:

• a. From the Scan What drop-down list, choose the type of data unit (sectors, Bytes, MB, GB) you want SuperScan to consider.
• b. To restrict the scan to a small number of sectors, indicate the From sector and the number of sectors to scan.
• c. Select the check box next to each type of partition that you want to scan.
• d. Click Start.
  
  The status bar displays the progress of the scan.
• e. After the scan is complete, a new folder named SuperScan will be created in the Local System Devices list.

5. To display a smaller set of SuperScan results, do the following:

• a. Right-click the SuperScan device node folder.
• b. From the context menu choose Filter. The Filter Found Partitions dialog box appears.
  
• c. To select the types of file systems data that will be displayed, in the File Systems area, clear the check box beside the types that you do not want to be displayed.
• d. To display only those partitions within a specified size limit, in the Volume Size area, indicate the minimum and maximum size of partitions in Megabytes.
• e. To use basic filtering parameters, in the Filter Type area, click Use Basic Filtering.
• f. To select displayed partitions based on partition status, in the Basic Filtering [Partition Status] area, clear the check box next to each partition status number that you do not want to display.
• g. To use advanced filtering parameters, in the Filter Type area, click Use Advanced Filtering.

6. You can manage other aspects of SuperScan results:

• a. To resume a stopped SuperScan, right-click on the folder and choose Resume from the context menu. SuperScan will resume.
• b. To save scan results, right-click the SuperScan folder and choose Save Scan Results. Similarly, you can open the saved scan results at a different time.
• c. To delete a SuperScan folder, right-click the folder and choose Delete.
• d. To display detailed properties of a SuperScan folder, right-click the folder and choose Properties.

7. To recover deleted or damaged partition select it and click Recover.

The Active@ Partition Recovery parameters dialog box will open. To specify recovery options, do the following:

• a. To ensure that the Windows operating system assigns the correct letter to the disk, select a disk letter from the Assign Disk Letter drop-down list.
• b. To set the recovered partition as active and allow the system to boot from it, select the Set Partition Active check box.
• c. The recovery process checks the boot sector and fixes it if it is damaged. Select Automatic or Manual, depending on how you want to do this.
• d. If the disk has an extended partition, select the Create Extended Partition First check box and/or use ALL Unallocated area check box. If these areas are not available, these check boxes will be disabled.
• e. To save a copy of the partitioning information before recovering, select the Backup Current Partitioning Info check box and indicate the file name to store the backup.
  
• f. Click Recover.

The partition is recovered at the new location.

Creating a Raw Disk Image

A Raw Disk Image is a mirror copy of your entire logical drive or physical device stored as set of files. It might be a good idea to create a Raw Disk Image for a drive containing deleted files that you want to recover, if you have enough space on drive which you are using for recovery. If you do something wrong while attempting to recover a partition, you will be able to recover these deleted files and folders from the Raw Disk Image of that partition.

Depending on disk image creation settings, a Raw Disk Image consists of a configuration file (with an extension .DIM) and a single file chunk, or set of files having extensions .000, .001, .002 . (each file chunk has a size of 2GB in this case).

To create a Raw Disk Image:

1. In the Active@ Partition Recovery workspace, right click on a logical drive or a physical device.

2. Choose Create Disk Image which will open the dialogue box.

3. In the Save drop-down list, select another physical device or another logical drive.

4. Browse to the folder where you want to save the Disk Image.

5. In File Name, give the Disk Image file a descriptive name.

6. Click Save. A progress bar appears.

Watch the progress and wait while drive’s contents are copied to the new location. You can cancel the process of image creation anytime by clicking Stop.

Important! Do not save a Raw Disk Image back onto the disk that you are backing up. The target location to save the Raw Disk Image must always be another drive.

Fixing or creating the MBR

The MBR (Master Boot Record) is created when you generate the first partition on a hard disk. It is probably the most important whole data structure on the disk.

The location is always track (cylinder) 0, side (head) 0, and sector 1. The MBR contains the partition table for the disk and a small amount of executable code.

On x86-based computers, the executable code examines the Partition Table, and identifies the system partition. The MBR then finds the system partition’s starting location on the disk, and loads a copy of its Partition Boot Sector into memory. The MBR then transfers execution to executable code in the Partition Boot Sector.

To fix or create a typical MBR:

1. In the Active@ Partition Recovery workspace, in the Local System Devices list, select a disk.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Fix MBR (Create Typical MBR). A Warning message appears.

Active@ Partition Recovery is a data recovery utility that you can use to:

• Find and recover deleted partitions and logical drives
• LastChance — if all recovery methods fail, you can still try to save individual files on your deleted partition.
• Create a Drive Image for backup purposes
• Fix or create a typical MBR (Master Boot Record)

This means that you can recover deleted or damaged partitions located on data volumes (D:, E: and so on), attached hard drives, as well as on the external USB drives and Memory Cards (SunDisk, MemoryStick, CompactFlash, etc.). On a system partition, boot.ini is corrected automatically (if needed) to repair an un-bootable system. As well, damaged Volume Boot Sectors are corrected to maintain integrity of the partition. This utility also enables you to fix a damaged MBR and to delete invalid partitions.

For any computer to boot properly, the following conditions must apply:

• The MBR (Master Boot Record) exists and it is not damaged in any way
• The Partition Table exists and contains at least one active partition

If these conditions exist, the executable code in the MBR selects an active partition and passes control to it so that it can start loading the system files (COMMAND.COM, NTLDR, BOOTMGR. ).

If these files are missing or are corrupted then the operating system will not boot.

Data Recovery Tips

When you install software, you write data on the disk. This can destroy your deleted data. If you have only one logical drive, physically remove the hard drive from the computer and install it as a second logical drive on another computer where data recovery may be possible.

When saving recovered data, you are writing records to the file table. If you write these records to the same drive that contains the damaged data, you are destroying the file table records that you are trying to recover. At the same time, you may be destroying the file table records for other deleted entries. It is best to save recovered data onto another logical, removable or network drive.

A Raw Disk Image is a single file that stores all the data from your logical drive or physical device as a mirror image. Having a Raw Disk Image can be useful when you want to back up the contents of the whole drive, and restore it or work with it later. Before you start recovering deleted files, it may be a good idea to create a Raw Disk Image for the one drive, if you have enough space on another drive. If you do something wrong while recovering the files (for example, recovering them onto the same drive and destroying the data), you will be able to recover these deleted files and folders from the Raw Disk Image that you have wisely created in advance.

Find and recover deleted partitions and logical drives

To find and recover deleted partitions and logical drives:

1. To open Active@ Partition Recovery in the Active@ Boot Disk shell click Start > Programs > Active@ Partition Recovery . After choosing a Partition Recovery submenu the Active@ Partition Recovery workspace appears with all available devices listed in a tree view under Local System Devices:
   • To scan an unallocated space, select it. Known details of the selected item are displayed in the right pane.
   • To scan the unallocated space in basic mode, click QuickScan , the process will start and the status bar will display the scan progress. After the scan is complete, a list of all allocated and unallocated partitions will appear in the Local System Devices list.
   • If you cannot see a logical drive, you will need to process the whole surface of a disk, select it and right click on it and click SuperScan :
   • When the SuperScan Options dialog box appears do the following:
     • To restrict the scan to a small number of sectors, indicate the From sector and the number of sectors to scan. If you are unsure about any of this, just ignore this step and click on Scan.
     • You can follow the scanning progress via status bar:
     • After the scan is complete, a new folder named SuperScan will be created in the Local System Devices list.
     • To display a smaller set of SuperScan results, do the following:
     • Right-click the SuperScan device node folder.
     • From the context menu choose Filter. This will open the Filter Found Partitions dialog box.
     • Scanning for all supported file types is on by default. If there are particular file types that you do not want to be displayed clear the check boxes besides them.
     • To display only those partitions within a specified size limit, in the Partition Size area, indicate the minimum and maximum size of partitions in Megabytes.
     • To use basic filtering parameters, in the Filter Type area, click Basic Filtering .
     • To select displayed partitions based on partition status, in the Basic Filtering [Partition Status] area, clear the check box next to each partition status number that you do not want to display.
     • To use advanced filtering parameters, in the Filter Type area, click Use Advanced Filtering .
     • To restrict displayed results for NTFS-specific parameters (in the Specific to NTFS attributes area) select the check box beside all the types of data that you want to display
     • To restrict displayed results for FAT-specific parameters (in the Specific to FAT attributes area) select the check box beside all the types of data that you want to display.
     • Click Filter . The right panel will display the filtered results.
2. • In order to recover your partition you will need to click on the SuperScan folder in Local System Devices . This will show the SuperScan results in the right pane
   • If you didn’t do anything with the unallocated space after you deleted the partition, chances are pretty good of recovering it
   • To ensure that the Windows operating system assigns the correct letter to the disk, select a disk letter from the Assign Disk Letter drop-down list
   • To set the recovered partition as active and allow the system to boot from it, select the Set Partition Active check box.
   • The recovery process checks the boot sector and fixes it if it is damaged. Select Automatic or Manual , depending on how you want to do this.
   • If the disk has an extended partition, select the Create Extended Partition First check box and/or use ALL Unallocated area check box. If these areas are not available, these check boxes will be disabled.
   • To save a copy of the partitioning information before recovering, select the Backup Current Partitioning Info check box and indicate the file name to store the backup
   • Click Recover

The partition is recovered.

Once you click on the Start the scanning will commence and can take to around a few hours. Depending on your drive size and the number of file types you inputted, your mileage might vary. Once the scanning starts you can pause it but you can’t stop it.

Creating a Raw Disk Image

A Raw Disk Image is a mirror copy of your entire logical drive or physical device stored as set of files. It may be a good idea to create a Raw Disk Image for a drive containing deleted files that you want to recover, if you have enough space on another drive. If you do something wrong while attempting to recover a partition, you will be able to recover these deleted files and folders from the Raw Disk Image of that partition.

To create a Raw Disk Image:

1. In the Active@ Partition Recovery workspace, select a logical drive or a physical device. Right click on it and choose Create Disk Image : Which will launch the dialog box.
2. Select another physical device or another logical drive.
3. Browse to the folder where you want to save the Disk Image.
4. In File Name field give the Disk Image file a descriptive name.
5. Click Save to start the process. The progress bar will appear.

Watch the progress and wait while drive’s contents are copied to the new location. You can cancel the process of image creation anytime by clicking Stop .

The MBR (Master Boot Record) is created when you generate the first partition on a hard disk. It is probably the most important data structure on the disk. The MBR contains the partition table for the disk and a small amount of executable code. On x86-based computers, the executable code examines the Partition Table, and identifies the system partition. The MBR then finds the system partition’s starting location on the disk, and loads the copy of its Partition Boot Sector into the RAM. The MBR then transfers execution to executable code in the Partition Boot Sector.

How to restore a deleted, formatted or corrupted partition

There are two basic approaches for restoring all volume data:

• Physical recovery of the boot sector and partition table (in-place recovery)
• Copy all data to a new safe location (to another attached or external physical disk)

First option (in-place recovery) works best when the partition/volume was just deleted, or the data and the file system on deleted/re-created/re-formatted partition have not been severely damaged (overwritten). In this case the recovery process is very fast, and you’ll be able to access your files using Windows Explorer (or any other program) immediately after recovery. However, if some data overwriting occurred, or damage to the file system took place, Windows might not recognize the recovered volume (a drive with an assigned letter does not appear), or you may get messages like «Drive is not accessible». In this case you should try the second option: copy all existing data from the corrupted volume to a new physical disk.

There are other scenarios when you do not want to recover your data in-place. You just want to restore all live (non-deleted) volume data (files and folders) to another media in a single operation. Possible scenarios when this is applicable:

• USB Flash or Camera Memory Card is damaged or formatted
• Hard Disk has some physical damage (unreadable or bad sectors)
• Volume boot sector is damaged by virus or power surge and volume becomes unreadable (inaccessible)
• Partition or volume has been formatted accidentally
• RAID Disk Array crashed and needs to be re-built

Copying All Volume Data to another Location

This approach is the safest way to get all your data backed up to a new safe place (storage), however this is also the slowest way. You keep your original damaged disk (all data on it remains untouched), and just copy all your valuable information to a dedicated attached HDD/SDD, external USB Disk or USB Flash Card. The copy process itself could take a long time, especially in cases where you have terabytes of data (videos or photo archives).

To Copy All Volume Data to a New Disk:

In Active@ Partition Recovery, use QuickScan or SuperScan to detect a deleted partition, verify its content and select the deleted partition node.

To open the Recovery Options dialog box, use one of the following methods:

Click Recover on the toolbar:

Right-click the partition, and then choose Recover from the context menu

Execute the Recover command from Tools menu

Press Ctrl+R key combination

Make sure Copy All Data to a New Disk tab is active:

Select a recovery method:

• Recover Files & Folders only — copies all safe files and folders from the partition being recovered to a new target disk. Original data structure (location of files and directories in folder’s tree) and file’s attributes (creation date, read-only flag, etc..) have been duplicated as well. Advantage of this method is that copied files are guaranteed to be readable (accessible) on a new target. Disadvantage is that system areas, meta-data and deleted data are not copied, so future data recovery of damaged file system is not possible on a new target.
• Copy All Volume Data (sector by sector copy) — copies all occupied sectors on the volume as it is specified in file system’s allocation bitmap. This means than all system areas (like MFT records, or FAT tables) have been duplicated as well, and along with safe files and folders you can recover files being marked as deleted as well, so future data recovery is possible even from the new disk (target). This can be considered as a significant advantage. Disadvantage is that if some system areas (for example MFT, or boot sector) on the found partition are damaged, target disk will have exactly the same damaged data, and when accessing the new volume, or files on it, you can get error messages, like «access denied».

Select a designated disk (having enough storage space) to copy all of your data to (target). A list box displays all available disks in the system, excluding physical disks where the currently running operating system is installed. You can plug-in more disks (or remove some of them them) and the software should detect and display them here immediately. Make sure you select a proper target disk, as before the data copying occurs it will be formatted (all existing data, if any, will be lost)

Click Recover and wait while all volume data is copied to the new destination

After completion Windows Explorer should be launched and you can access and inspect your data at the new location.

Important! Copy All Data to a New Disk command re-formats the target disk, destroying all data on it, before all data being copied to. Be careful and select a proper target disk, which doesn’t contain anything important!

Restoring a deleted/damaged volume in-place

This approach is the fastest way to return your volume «back to life» in the place where it resided originally. However this could be a dangerous and non-guaranteed method. Recovery of partition information, volume boot sector and partition table usually takes only a couple seconds. However, you need to be absolutely sure that you recover a proper volume, and recovery is successful only when file system itself has not been damaged previously.

This way works best when you just deleted a volume, realized the problem, and immediately started the recovery process. In this case not many data overwrite operations occurred within the Windows environment, so most of your data structures would not have been damaged.

In case if you formatted the disk and installed a new OS, or copied some files to a newly formatted partition, you may still try this approach. However, chances that some critical file system data structures have not been damaged are low, and most likely Windows would not be able to access a logical disk after recovery and you will see something like: «Volume is not accessible or damaged» and «Do you want to format the volume?», and you’ll need to delete this invalid partition and try another approach. To evaluate your chances for successful physical recovery (in-place recovery), take a look at the icon besides the found volume. You can distinguish deleted partitions from existing ones by the icons:

You can distinguish deleted partitions from existing ones by the icons:

Grey icon shows an existing partition or drive visible in Windows Explorer

Green icon shows live drive in SuperScan results (having a letter assigned)

Grey icon with green mark shows a deleted partition with an excellent integrity status. This means the chances for successful in-place recovery are good

Grey icon with brown mark shows a deleted partition with an acceptable integrity status. This means that there is some chance for successful in-place recovery

Grey icon with red mark shows a deleted partition with Poor integrity status. However this partition might have been formatted before deletion or has some other damage, so there are minimal chances of successful volume recovery in-place

To restore a deleted, damaged or reformatted partition:

In Active@ Partition Recovery, use QuickScan or SuperScan to detect a deleted partition, verify its content and select the deleted partition node.

To open the Recovery Options dialog box, use one of the following methods:

• Click Recover on the toolbar:
• Right-click the partition, and then choose Recover from the context menu
• Execute the Recover command from Tools menu
• Press Ctrl+R key combination

Make sure Recover Volume in-Place tab is active:

To assign a partition to be recovered and assigned a non-default disk letter, you may choose one of available letters from the drop-down box

To mark a partition to be recovered as Active, you may check the related check box. Be careful! If you mark a partition as active, and it does not contain system files on it for the booting process, your computer might not boot properly. So mark it as an Active partition only when you are 100% percent certain that the partition being recovered had an Active status before deletion

In some cases partition being recovered seems to be not a Primary type, but the Logical Disk in an Extended partition. In this case Create Extended Partition First option will be available (if no Extended partition exists on the disk). Keep it turned on if you want to create Extended partition container first, and then place your recovered partition inside. If the option use ALL Unallocated area is turned off — the Extended partition (container) will have the same size as partition being recovered. Otherwise the Extended partition (container) will occupy all of the unallocated space on the disk

You have an option to execute either Automatic or Manual recovery to check and fix the Volume Boot Sector. If you are not familiar with low-level disk structures, use the Automatic mode. If you know a lot about sectors, clusters, FAT, MFT, etc.. you can choose the Manual mode to check the parameters manually and to select the most appropriate action

Click Recover.

After the recovery process is complete, a confirmation message pops up. Make sure that the results are correct by verifying the contents of the recovered partition in the Windows Explorer. Recovered partition should appear there after you refresh its content.

Manual mode for Volume Boot Sector Recovery

If you’ve chosen Manual mode for the Boot Sector Check & Fix, a dialog similar to the one above appears.

You can:

Verify the parameters of the Primary and Copy of Boot Sector located on the disk. Parameters that appear to be invalid are marked with a red mark. Boot Sector Template column is formed programmatically and contains the most appropriate parameters for the partition found

You can Save the raw data from the Primary Boot Sector or Copy of Boot Sector to a file in order to be able to analyze these raw values in Hex Editor or third party software, or restore them back if recovery is unsuccessful

You can Load raw data from the Primary Boot Sector or Copy of Boot Sector from a file to restore them back after unsuccessful recovery

See the Overall Status of both Partition Boot Sectors (their validity and if they match)

Choose an Action to execute for the Boot Sectors while the partition is being recovered:

• Duplicate the Primary Boot Sector into a Copy of Boot Sector — if you are sure that Primary Boot Sector is valid, but Copy is not
• Duplicate a Copy of the Boot Sector into a Primary Boot Sector — if you are sure that the Copy of Boot Sector is valid, but Primary is not
• Copy the Boot Sector Template into both Boot Sectors — if both Primary and Copy of Boot Sector look invalid
• Do NOT fix Boot Sectors — if both Boot Sectors look valid and match each other and the Boot Sector Template values.

In the example above, even you are not a specialist — you can notice that Copy of Boot Sector contains some garbage (i.e. damaged) data. Red marks appear next to the corrupted fields, so the most appropriate action is to Duplicate the Primary Boot Sector into the Boot Sector Copy.

Important! The Recover and the Fix Boot Sector commands automatically log the old information to the partition backup file, and you can always rollback the changes later on.

Note: Recover Deleted Partition function is available in commercial (purchased) version only.

Данные и диски ⇒ Active Partition Recovery Ultimate 21.0.2 + WinPE

В этой статье мы сделаем сравнительный анализ программ восстановления данных: Active File Recovery, Hetman Partition Recovery и Pandora Recovery.
В наше время существует огромное количество всевозможных носителей информации, каждый из которых способен вмещать достаточно большие объемы данных. Однако, ни одно «хранилище» данных, будь то стационарное устройство, как например жесткий диск, или обычная флешка, не застрахованы от потери хранящейся информации, которая порой бывает очень важна и существует в единственном экземпляре.

Конечно, в таком случае большинство пользователей приходят в ужас, что их драгоценные файлы «сожрал» какой-нибудь вирус, «случайно» отформатировалась флешка, или того хуже – «накрылся» жесткий диск.

Однако, разработчиками компьютерного софта выпускается множество разнообразных программ, предназначенных для восстановления данных, среди которых попадаются вполне достойные экземпляры. Но бывают и не слишком функциональные программы для такой задачи.

В данном обзоре я решил рассмотреть и сравнить три из таких программ, которые являются одними из наиболее популярных. Это Active File Recovery, Hetman Partition Recovery и Pandora Recovery.

К счастью у меня до сих пор ничего не случалось с флешкой, но ради такого случая я решил ее «уложить», поэтому скинул туда несколько файлов, отформатировал и сейчас опробую все три утилиты в действии, чтобы проверить их эффективность.

Особенности программы для восстановления жесткого диска

Программа Active Partition Recovery поддерживает:

• Жесткие диски IDE, SATA, SSD, SCSI, внешние USB, Floppy и USB флеш медиа, карты памяти

Другие важные функции утилиты Active Partition Recovery

• Поможет восстановить удаленные разделы (FAT и NTFS)
• Возвращает удаленные локальные диски (FAT и NTFS)
• Сканирует жесткие диски и определяет удаленные FAT/NTFS-разделы или логические диски
• Recovery Partition позволяет осуществлять предосмотр папок на удаленном разделе или диске, чтобы затем восстановить данные
• Делает резервную копию загрузочной записи MBR, таблицы раздела, загрузочных секторов
• Восстанавливает MBR, таблицу раздела, загрузочные сектора разделов из резервной копии при повреждении
• Также эта программа для восстановления жесткого диска создает образ

Что мы находим в этом файловом ретривере

Как только мы запускаем приложение, мы находим его главное меню с довольно простой интерфейс , хотя полностью в Английский . Вверху мы находим классическую панель инструментов с двумя режимами сканирования, режимом поиска, режимом восстановления и режимом последнего шанса для восстановления самых сложных файлов. В центральном окне и в левом столбце мы видим различные жесткие диски, разделы и внешние накопители, которые мы подключили.

В программе есть два режима сканирования: быстро («QuickScan») и супер сканирование («Суперскан»). Первый отвечает за выполнение базового сканирования и отвечает за поиск файлов и папок, находящихся в выбранном хранилище. Второй метод выполняет комплексную операцию сканирования, заботясь о поиске всех возможных удаленных данных. Конечно, продолжительность сканирования будет зависеть от того, выбираем мы тот или иной метод.

После того, как мы выбрали режим сканирования, программа будет искать удаленные файлы и папки на этом диске. В конце задания он показывает us все полученные результаты : имя файла или папки, его размер, атрибуты, идентификатор и дата создания, изменения и удаления.

Когда мы нашли файл или папку, которые хотим восстановить, мы должны скажите программе восстановить их . Для этого мы можем указать его и нажать кнопку «Восстановить», либо щелкните правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Восстановить», либо с помощью сочетания клавиш «Ctrl + R». Появится новое окно, в котором мы можем дать восстанавливаемому файлу новое имя, а также выбрать адрес, по которому мы хотим, чтобы он был сохранен. Наконец, мы снова нажимаем «Восстановить», чтобы восстановить выбранный файл или папку.

Как пользоваться

Рассмотрим алгоритм использования программы Active File Recovery. Естественно, инструкция будет общей ведь в каждом отдельном случае мы удаляем разные файлы с разных дисков. Тем не менее, для работы с программой нужно делать так:

1. Скачайте архив и распакуйте его используя вложенный пароль.
2. Установите программу и запустите ее.
3. В первом окне выберите тот накопитель, с которого были удалены все данные. Если вы не знаете с какого диска это произошло, придется выбрать все.
4. Выберите режим сканирования, используя одну из кнопок: Поверхностный анализ. Данный поиск проходит заметно быстрее, однако, и шанс обнаружения удаленных данных сильно уменьшается.
5. Глубокий анализ. Длительный вариант, обеспечивающий максимальный процент успешности.

Также у нас имеется дополнительный инструмент, под названием «Последний шанс». Он может оказаться полезным даже в тех случаях, в которых бессильно глубокое сканирование. Если и оно не дало результатов, попробуйте эту функцию, по крайней мере, вы ничего не потеряете.

Для того чтобы программой было комфортно пользоваться рекомендуем предварительно настроить ее, установив соответствующие флажки на свои позиции, в зависимости от личных предпочтений. Следует помнить и о том, что копировать файлы нужно на другой диск (не на тот, с которого они были удалены).

Важно: будьте осторожными – как только заметите что нужные данные были удалены, прекратите использовать ПК и сразу приступайте к восстановлению. В противном случае существует вероятность перезаписи файлов и невозможности их спасения.
