Giventhe plethora of questions about the recovery of deleted files (whichI shall call Undelete), I would do a story that explains why we donot recover all the deleted files and that the defragment regularlybrings in that context. Imust save my recovered file on another physical disk or logical after data recovery . Thisis because a deleted file is not really what are the areas itoccupied that are made available. If one wants to retrieve a deletedfile, you are strongly advised to write to another medium, samelogic, so as not to overwrite areas of the file. That is to say thatif you have 2 drives (C and D) but are actually a single physicaldisk, you can save on a file deleted D on C, and vice versa. Ioften see people asking how to retrieve a file or data recovery from corrupted disk , they are not ad hoc program. In this case, wemust take all precautions. For those who surf to find an Undeleteprogram, which the download on the same disc, there is very littlechance that they recover their files. Ideally, it should already havethe program Undelete hand. If this is not the case but you have a 2ndPC with Internet access, please use this one to download the programUndelete and set it on a floppy disk. Ifyou're networking, you may be able to recover a deletedfile on another PC (Ihave never tried but a priori, it should work). If you only have onePC with Internet access, then download the file to a floppy or otherdisk that you want to retrieve the file. Be careful when installing,it could crush the areas you want to just recover. There Undeleteprograms that do not require installation, I think especiallyRestoration can run from a floppy disk, it needs only 400 KB whenunzipped and no d ' installation. Now when we run defragmentation in outcomputer, it collects the unused spaces from the sectors of the harddisk and assign this collected space as free for storage. Now itstarts data gathering at one place starting from the first place andoverwrites all free space by the data and assign the new empty spaceas free to data storage. Now if we have some deleted files orcorrupted files, and need to recover them after the defragmentationprocess, now it is not possible to recover these because the spaceshave been overwritten. Froma long time I am writing on data recovery services Delhi to make aware Internet surferfrom the data loss and how to get back from lost data of yourcomputer.
