Best Hard Disk Drive Data Recovery Software (For Dummies)
By Susan Ng
You can lose data on your computer in lots of different ways. When this happens, data recovery can be done. Data refers to everything that is stored in your hard drive including the files that are needed by your computer's operating system (e.g. Windows) to function properly. When Windows files become corrupted or damaged, hard drive recovery software may be used to fix it without having to take your computer apart.
Here are some of the best hard drive data recovery software you can use:
DT Utilities Digital Rescue Premium
Recover My Files
Data Recovery Wizard
Disk Doctors Windows Data Recovery
Handy Recovery
ParetoLogic Data Recovery Pro
Quick Recovery
GetDataBack
R-Studio
Restorer2000 Professional
I have also included a few other articles which may be helpful. But if
all else fails or if you're too lazy to try and do it yourself, you can
always take it to professional data recovery experts such as Disklabs Data
Recovery Services or Stellar Information Systems Ltd. See videos below for Disklabs' brief introduction to hard disk data recovery and data recovery procedures.

Great list! I can also add a tip about a file-recovery freeware app called "Recuva". And thanks for including one of my hubs :D
Hehe. :) I've heard about Recuva. Isn't that the one from Piriform, the makers of CCleaner? :)
Hey susan,
I really used to like OnTrack Easy Recovery a few years back. It was very straight forward. I haven't checked out the latest versions but I assume it wouldn't have changed that much.

Nice Hub by the way :)
Thanks for the additional info, randommemories. :)
@Susan, that's right. Plus "defraggler", but I don't see the benefits of that one. Funny name though :)
Hey great info Susan, just lost a lot of data so hopefully I can implement what you have taught here and get some of it back. Thanks!
Oof, hope you didn't lose anything too serious, Ashley. Losing data really is a pain in the butt. Hehe. :P
Haha! :D Smarty pants thinks you definitely should start mailing her again; she misses our chats too. :P
try this site.
you guys must give a shot to this one.
chaooo...!!!

I recently loss all my computer data accidentally.It is very frustrating for me. Though i know i can recover the data with data recovery software I am very impatient about the result. Those videos are also effective for understanding the concepts of data recovery.
Nice post! i appreciate you post about it. Data Recovery is very good technique to recover lost data, and i always love to read latest data recovery updates. Thanks for sharing the great stuff.
Thanks for great Info on Data Recovery...........

Thanks for the feedback and additional info, everyone. I appreciate it. :)
In almost every security program there is a different type of software base that performs the essential function of finding hidden files on your hard drive or other digital storage medium.
Nice Hub. Very useful information you have shared. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for sharing information about data recovery.

Data drive failure could happen because of many reasons and so one method to troubleshoot one fault may cause some other problem if the method backfires.First check, if your data drive is mechanically fine i.e. if the read/write head is spinning or not. If you can hear a typically clicking sound when you just turn the HDD then possibly it is just corrupted and it should really be packaged and sent to the data recovery experts
Its really interesting information regarding data recovery software.
I have used a data recovery software from stellar, which is also good application for it.
If your computer doesn't recognize your pen drive, try it on other computers, if possible, with different operating systems. The error might be due to a system failure, therefore your USB pen could be OK, but not accessible from your computer
I am a big fan of Recuva (by Piriform). It is an easy to use, free data recovery program which seems to do an admirable job of finding things. Plus its made by the guys who have made CCleaner and Defraggler (two other well known software applications)
I have used services from the Stellar. They successfully recovered my database.
Nice topic, please keep updating...
I faced a data loss problem once before and tried a lot of solutions but few of them only succeeded in getting my data back ..
