Depending on the situation, data recovery may vary:
1.
|
Recovery of deleted files that have
resided on an existing logical disk
|
This can be done
using Basic File
Recovery.
2.
|
Recovery of files that have resided on a
data disk with a damaged file system, or on a previously deleted or
re-formatted partition
|
If the file
system on such logical disk is damaged, the operating system sees
that logical disk as a partition without a valid file system. Such
partition should be previously scanned.
Also, it should be scanned if you want to recover data on a
previously deleted or re-formatted partition.
When the
partition is scanned, a number of will appear.
R-Studio shows them in different colors depending on which
elements of the partition have been found.
|
An existing logical disk
or partition
|
|
Both boot records and file
entries are found for this partition
|
|
Only file entries are
found for this partition
|
|
Only boot records are
found for this partition
|
|
Empty space on the
object
|
|
Files that have been found
using scan for known
file types.
|
Although such
recognized partitions are virtual objects, files can be searched
for and recovered from recognized partitions as from real logical
disks using Basic File
Recovery.
To successfully
recover files from a recognized partition, it is necessary to find
a right one which corresponds to the real logical disk on which the
files resided. No strict rules can be applied to that, but the
following considerations should be taken into account:
·
|
If you are going to recover files
from a disk with a damaged file
system, most likely the right
recognized partition will be a green one. |
·
|
If you are going to recover files
from a previously deleted or re-formatted
partition, most likely the right
recognized partition will be a yellow one. |
Also always
check the file system, start point,
and size. They should be the same for the recognized partition and
real logical disk/partition. When in doubt, try to preview a couple of files from the
recognized partition. If the files are seen correctly, this is the
right partition.

If this computer is on a network,
create an R-Studio Agent Emergency
startup disk for the computer,
install R-Studio on another computer on the network,
and recover data over network. |
·
|
If this computer is stand-alone,
create an R-Studio Emergency startup disk and use it to start up the computer and
recover data. You may use external USB hard disks to store
recovered files. |
