![]() ![]() ![]() If your missing data is on a separate partition from the OS that's not usually a big problem - don't open or save any work to that partition. With a conventional hard drive, the OS assumes that data was deleted intentionally, and that it can write new data in its place - writing new data over part or all of a missing file means it's gone forever - so you want to stop writing to the drive partition where your missing files are ASAP. If those files were stored on a SSD, time is important, since a SSD will often clear deleted data the same way as Windows when it runs the Trim process on that SSD - unlike a conventional hard drive, the old data has to be cleared before new data can be stored in its place, so with SSDs deleted data's cleared proactively, so you don't have to wait for it to be cleared when you write to that SSD. If the files went missing because they were accidentally deleted, that data's most likely there immediately after it was deleted, but if the files went missing because of some other sort of problem or glitch, there's a good chance that some of that data's missing. In order for Do Your Data Recovery Pro to do its job of course the data you're after has to be there. Do Your Data Recovery Pro & similar scan the storage device for any & all data, then try to piece the fragments into files, kind of like taking the jumbled words in my make believe book and trying to put them back in sentences that make sense. The data making up your files is still there, but you have no way of making sense of it. When you've got lost files you want to recover, think of that book as 1) missing the table of contents & index, and 2) the words are jumbled around in no particular order. You might think of a hard drive, or whatever storage device, as a digital book. ![]()
