Hard disk drives can get damaged or corrupt too, which means various files can get lost. This can also be the result of accidental deletion, or necessary format operation, but there are various specialized applications like iSunshare Data Genius which can help you scan and recover different kinds of files from FAT and NTFS drives.

The application is quickly deployed on your computer and you instantly have the chance to check out the set of features. You’re guided through several steps until you recover lost data, with the initial screen letting you select the operation of interest. You can choose from deleted, format, raw file, and partition recovery.

Each operation type uses its own technique, so you need to carefully choose to maximize the chances of finding particular types of files. Deleted recovery, for instance, works best on recently-removed items, performing a rather superficial scan on the selected drive. It’s possible for the operation to fail to detect anything, especially if items of interest got shredded.

In case deleted recovery fails, you can get a second attempt with an in-depth scan mode, namely the raw file recovery. The same types of files are targeted, but with a deep scan mode.

There’s a dedicated recovery method for formatted drives. On the bright side of things, it supports file systems like FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS. Last but not least, partition recovery attempts to restore the entire partition table and recover lost data in partition or drive.

Both fixed and removable drives are supported, and you select the one of interest in the second step. Elapsed operation time depends on several things, such as the size of the drive, its health status, file system, free and occupied space, and more. In the end, you can choose the exact files you wish to restore to a custom location on your computer.

Bottom line is that losing important bits of data or files is a common mistake. Luckily, applications like iSunshare Data Genius are sure to recover recently deleted items with ease, and might even be able to restore long-gone items you even forgot existed.
