WHY USE? • Recover files from flash drive, memory cards, hard drive • Deleted files • Accidentally reformatted drive (Quick format) • Drive failure

Depending on how much data is on the drive, how much drive was used (files added/deleted), search can take hours and not all files may be recoverable.
Can select files individually, or save everything that was found and then go through the files to identify files that were fully recovered. Select files to save: place checkmark next to individual files or click folder on left to select all files
Save to drive other than drive data is being recovered from. Create folder to save files to. Make sure drive has enough space to save all files.
Recovery process can take hours, depending on how many files are being recovered.
