It is possible to recover files that have been deleted from the recycle bin. It is simple enough for a novice computer user as well as the IT professional to recover files from a computer. It is possible to recover data from hard disk drives, camera memory cards, SD/MMD memory cards and zip drives. For novice computer users and IT professionals, Undelete software will recover files, which have been "permanently" removed from your computer system. What type of files can I recover? Undelete software can recover: Microsoft Word Documents, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets, Microsoft Powerpoint Presentations, Microsoft Frontpage documents, Microsoft Access Databases, Lotus 123 Spreadsheets, Autocad drawings, Dreamweaver Documents, MP3 files, Digital camera files, JPG images, GIF images, TIFF images, PNG images and many more. It is very important that you attempt to recover a file as soon as you are aware that an important file has been deleted. Any future information (pictures, spreadsheets, word documents, autocad files, etc.) saved to the drive will overwrite the deleted file. Data overwriting may not happen immediately, however the faster you recover your data the more likely you will recover it intact. Network administrators should consider installing Undelete software on their Windows servers as soon as the server it put into service. In order to increase the possibility of data recovery you should do the following: 1. Attempt to minimize or completely stop all disk activity (see usage tip below). This includes (saving files, copying files, installing programs, browsing the web, getting e-mail). 2. Retrieve Undelete software to aide in data recovery. 3. Analyze your drive with Undelete to see what it can recover. Before recovering, attempt to preview the data contained within the file. Usage tip: It is common that the deleted file exists on your C: drive where you need to install Undelete software. In this case, you should install Undelete to a flash drive on another computer. Then run the Undelete software from your flash drive. Article submitted by Mark Williams ofhttp://www.windowsundelete.com/.
