Hello dears Today I will write an article about the most sacred thing that we have on our computer, of course about information, more precisely about how to recover lost or damaged information from hard drive or other digital media.

You know, I’ll probably start with a small digression, a few years ago, I collected all sorts of things in a folder on my computer different programs, which he then installed to friends and acquaintances. To be honest, I don’t even remember how, but I deleted them, I also have this habit, I delete everything using Shift+Del.

Perhaps you have had similar cases, so today I will tell you about the program Starus Partition Recovery which would definitely have saved me then. Hard disks, flash drives, and other digital media, the thing is of course very cool, but if not for one thing. Like all equipment, they break, and as a rule they break, bringing with them a big problem, which manifests itself in the loss of information.

And losing files from your computer or flash drive is a big problem, okay, if there were several films there, but if there were important documents or thousands of photographs, like mine, for example, you really don’t want to lose them.

Don’t know how to recover data from damaged partitions in full yourself? Do you want to return information from logical partitions after formatting, erroneous disk redistribution, or after the complete destruction of the NTFS/FAT file system structure?

How to restore a logical partition
program:

Starus Partition Recovery


Installing the Starus Partition Recovery program will help you easily cope with your tasks. The entire structure of files and folders will be restored, and the data will be saved in its original form. The product is fundamentally new tool to restore logical partitions and resuscitate data after errors operating systems NTFS/FAT. The uniqueness of the program lies in the ability to reconstruct the structure of data location “from scratch” in case of severe damage or complete absence of the file system.

To simplify the task of recovering deleted data, let’s consider how the program works in two directions - fast data recovery and data recovery from damaged partitions.

Instant analysis

If the media is detected by the system, the logical partitions are accessible, the system file structure is not damaged - restore necessary information possible in a matter of seconds.

The process comes down to a few simple steps:

  • Choose required disk on the left side of the program, which contains deleted files.
  • In the window that appears, select the analysis type “Quick scan”
  • Upon completion of the scanning process, all found directories and folders will be displayed on the left side of the program. Having highlighted required folder on the left, you can view its contents in the main part of the program. Next, select the necessary files and folders and save them to the media or folder we specified.

For convenience, you can also use the following options:

  • "Search" option to find required file;
  • the “Filter” option in the “View” menu to see only deleted, only existing or all found files;
  • If the “Preview” option is active, then by selecting a file, you can immediately view its contents in the upper right part of the program.

Recovering data from damaged partitions

If the partitions with your data are not displayed by the system, you need to search for deleted volumes.


To do this, on the left side, select the hard drive on which you want to find the deleted partition, and in the “File” menu, select the “Find disks” option. In the window that appears, specify the type of file systems you are looking for and the search area. All found disks will appear in the Explorer tree, and you can work with them as with existing partitions.

Full analysis

The main stage of data recovery from damaged or formatted disks is scanning the selected partitions. After selecting the recovery area, the Analysis Type wizard window will open. If file NTFS system or FAT is damaged - partitions exist as drive letters, but when reading the directory an error is displayed, or the directory is empty, use “Full analysis” of the disk.

The program will scan all file system disk and will find all files that can be recovered. The process may take a lot of time, however, the data and the structure of their location will be restored in full.

Secure recovery from an exact disk copy

Using virtual image disk, you can recover the necessary deleted data without worrying about the safety of the original data on the physical medium. In addition, the physical media can be used further and work as usual.

Another nice thing is that the created image can be used in any program.

To create an image, select the required logical partition or physical disk and click the “Save disk” button on the toolbar. In the window that opens, specify the disk area to be saved, as well as the name and location of the image file that will be created.

Deep Scan

The structure of the location of data deleted a long time ago is not always possible to restore due to overwriting of superficially different information. However, the files themselves can still be found and restored. In parallel with disk analysis, the program searches for deleted files by their signatures (search by file contents). The found files are located in the “$Deep Analysis” folder at the root of the disk and sorted by extension.

Saving recovered data

To restore a scanned partition while preserving its structure, or to restore only some files in a selected directory, select the selected volumes or files and click the “Recover” button on the main panel. You will be asked to choose one of four saving methods:

  • saving to hard drive
  • recording to CD/DVD
  • creating a virtual ISO image
  • saving to the Internet via FTP server


With tool Starus Partition Recovery The data recovery procedure for an ordinary user will not be difficult. Interface in style Windows Explorer combined with a convenient step-by-step wizard make the restoration process an easy task. At the same time, the program is not deprived of options for recovering information at a professional level:

  • The HEX editor built into the program allows you to view the contents of files, partitions or physical disks.
  • Disk Manager - this function allows you to view the location of logical partitions on physical media, taking into account their size and sequence. All disk management functions are available in this window.
  • Selecting the beginning of the file is an option that allows you to accurately determine the beginning of the file (the first sector of its contents).

Remember - the success of recovering your data primarily depends on the speed of its recovery!

In the review, I already mentioned the software package from Recovery Software and promised that a little later we would look at these programs in more detail. Let's start with the most “advanced” and expensive product - RS Partition Recovery (download trial version The program is available from the official website of the developer http://recovery-software.ru/downloads). Cost of RS Partition Recovery license for home use is 2999 rubles. However, if the program really properly performs all the functions that are stated, then the price is not so high - a one-time call to any “ Computer help“To recover files deleted from a flash drive or data from a damaged or formatted hard drive will cost a similar or higher price (despite the fact that the price list states “from 1000 rubles”).

Installing and running RS Partition Recovery

The process of installing the data recovery program RS Partition Recovery is no different from installing any other software. And after the installation is complete, the dialog box will already have a checkbox “Run RS Partition Recovery”. The next thing you will see is the File Recovery Wizard dialog box. Perhaps this is what we will use to begin with, since this is the most familiar and easiest way to use most programs for the average user.

Increasing volumes of stored in electronic format information in all spheres of human life, as well as the imperfection of data storage devices contribute to the emergence common problems with the loss of important files and documents, which threatens to waste additional time and money. There are ways to avoid this or try to reduce the risk, but what should you do if it happens? You should use the services of professionals who can or will try to restore everything, or you can do everything yourself.

Starus File Recovery will help you recover files at a professional level. The Russian-language and simple interface is easy to master even for a beginner. But what sets this product apart from its competitors? The difference lies in the innovative search algorithm, which will find deleted files in a matter of seconds.

The ability to in-depth analyze the disk surface provides excellent results in cases where the disk is formatted, damaged or inaccessible. If necessary, you can create a virtual copy of the disk (disk image) so that you can work with it without risking further data corruption.

Starus File Recovery works with the most popular formats of images, audio, video, databases, office documents, etc., on all types of media: memory cards, HDD, flash drives, etc. The functionality will interest professionals, and the simplicity of ordinary computer users.

Instructions for use

You will find how to install, activate and switch to Russian in the instructions in the folder with installation files programs. Below we will show you how to use the program to recover files.

The program has a “File Recovery Wizard” that helps you step by step to start a scan, make the necessary settings and save files. This is what is needed for inexperienced users; those who do not consider themselves that way can uncheck the “Display the wizard at startup” box and close the wizard. We will show you how to work with the “master”.

At the second stage, we will be asked to select a disk partition or a completely physical disk. If you are sure that necessary files were stored on a specific partition, then select it, so you will reduce the search time. If you are not sure, then select an entirely physical disk.

In the next window, the “wizard” allows you to select the type of analysis. Deleted files can be easily recovered in the “normal scan” mode, and when the disk has been formatted or damaged, we recommend selecting “Deep analysis”.

Now we select the types of documents to search. Three options: all, by mask (for the more experienced) and from the list, where you need to tick the required ones.

Search criteria. You can narrow your search by size and creation date.

Once the analysis is completed, a list of files available for recovery opens. We mark those that we need or all and click “Next”.

Selecting a saving method: upload via FTP, create an image, burn to disk, and the more convenient “Save to hard drive.”

If you chose to save to disk, then select a folder and click “Finish”. Our data is located in the specified location.
