Recovering Deleted Files from Windows

Recovering delele files from Windows XP has been headache for Windows user if accidently deleted the files or seem the files lost forever when you have spend a lot of time on the documentation files.

But thanks for Jameser Tech Tips post giving hopes for you to recover the deleting files if you immediately taking action by using restoration application when you notices accidently delete the files.

Restoration is a freeware application that restoring files which are deleted from the recycle bin by mistake. Conversely, delete files completely. This application is supporting operating system starting from Win98 to Windows XP. Bare in mind, This program is very effective at recovering deleted files from your hard drive and does not require installation either, so it is a handy application to carry on a USB flash drive as well.

How it works:-

1. Select the drive you'd like to restore from the pulldown menu on the upper right of the application
2. Click on the "Search Deleted Files" button
3. After the search is complete, select the files you'd like to restore and click on the "Restore By Copying" button

Some comment from Jameser on the recovering process:-

It is important that you try to restore your files either to another drive or partition, so as to avoid overwriting information on your source drive... So if you only have one drive/partition, try to restore the data to diskette, USB flash drive, or a network drive...

For me, this is a great windows tech tips and prepare yourself when you might face this problem in future.
