Before Starting Recovery, Please read these important Information points:

·       If you have accidentally deleted files (For example when a partition is formatted) and you want to restore, you should try to avoid writing to the affected disk drive. This is very important as overwriting data prevents them from being recovered at all. It is better to have O&O DiskRecovery installed before a problem occurs. The program will let you restore data in which the directory structure and the information is already deleted or have been overwritten. It uses a special built in tool to find and restore these data back into valid file formats. However, as in any recovery applications, not all files can be recovered without error.

·       Do not save anymore data onto the system after the data in question have been deleted.  Don’t even search or download data rescue programs from the Internet. This can overwrite areas of your hard disk further complicating lost data restore.

·       Close all applications without saving any data to the disk or other data storage media (if possible). If in doubt, shut down the computer!

·       Make sure that the deleted files are not located in the Windows Recycle bin
 
Recovery of your Lost Data:

To start the recovery process you have to first connect the drive, from which you would like recover data, to your computer then run O&O DiskRecovery. You can start a new recovery process or restore a previous saved one. You have also a good option to use DiskImage program to create an image of the affected disc and try to do recovery of your lost data using DiskRecovery.

Next step will let you select the drive selection on which you would like to recover lost data. The drive may be internal (for example drive C or D…) or external Drive (for example USB Flash, external hard disc and so on). You can even select entire hard drive.
 
The program offers you different search techniques which are all activated by default to give you the best recovery result. However, this will take time depending on the size of the disc. If you want fast result, then simply use “unerase option “which recover your deleted files. Later and if needed you can add other search technique if you still miss some files.

In short we have three search techniques including:

Unerase which enables a quick search run and rapid recovery of your files.
 
FormatRecovery which is able to restore data, of which folder and structure information is missing completely. It helps to rescue your data even with damaged disc through its ability to detect and ignore bad sectors.

DiskRecovery scans all sectors of the hard disk, the memory card or the USB Stick for lost files. Even formatted or destroyed file systems have a good chance of having data reconstructed.

After drive selection you will be able to define the search settings that will affect the duration of scan. The default settings are generally sufficient for most cases and mostly not need to be changed. You also have the ability to determine which types of files to be scanned for. By default, all data types are considered.

Click next to start the “SEARCH” for deleted files. The program has very good built in feature that helps you to automatically save the deleted files. If you select this option, then all you have to do is to select target folder and the program will do everything for you. This will save your time and effort.

If you don’t select this option, then you must wait till the scan is finished. During the scan you will see the progress and receive all information through a dialog box. After scan is finished you will have a detailed report of the found files and its types. You will be able to select the files you need to restore.

The program offers you an interesting feature to preview the files you plan to restore.  It supports various formats (picture, text, and so on). You can also check file properties and even filter the files whether include or exclude some files depending on their size.

Finally select the target folder where you will save the recovered files. By default it is “My Documents” folder. Of course it is easy to change it if you want. Then start recovery. During recovery you can cancel and continue later with no problems and with no loss of your recovered files.

After complete restore of your lost files, you will be able to view a status report of all actions taken up to this point. You can open the target folder from this screen to see the recovered files easily.

Supported file types:

The program supports a lot of file types (more than 300 types). If you want to see and revise the full list of these file types, you can find it here:

Moreover, you have the ability of adding your own signatures. O&O DiskRecovery can use these user-defined signatures for its scan.

To Optimize data search and rescue:

It is recommended to do a complete and in-depth scan with activation of the options O&O SmartScan and O&O DeepScan. If this does not suffice in gathering the desired results, activate O&O RawScan and repeat the scan. You can run the scan many times with no risk to lose your data.  It is advised to leave the scan to complete with no interactions from you to get good results. Although this may take more time but you will have the best results and spare you time-consuming interaction with the computer while the scan is being run.

Starting O&O DiskRecovery Without Prior Installation:

Sometimes you will have an emergency and the program is not yet installed on your computer, don’t panic, you are still able to perform an Instant-Installation.
Simply use the O&O-DiskRecovery-CD or the downloaded installation file on a second computer. Then you can use portable disk. Then start the installation file (*.exe) and select Instant-Installation in the dialogue and set the portable disk as target. Follow simple on screen steps to finish the installation. Finally connect the portable disk to the target computer and start O&O Instant DiskRecovery from there. When asked just enter the license code to completely restore your files. In this way you have completely avoided the installation on your target computer, which possibly might overwrite important data areas of the hard disk, and would thus make data rescue efforts very difficult or even impossible. That’s all!

Pros:

Easy to use
Support more than 300 file types
Preview function
Instant installation
And many more

Cons: None

Conclusion:
The program is a comprehensive solution that helps you to recover your files in a simple easy way. It will help you to recover your data even if not previously installed on your computer. It is important to save you in any emergency.
