With increase in computer usage, we have realized that our data is more vulnerable to loss and apart from third-party file recovery software, there comes some file recovery utilities with our PC itself. With these tools available, many of us even witnessed that we have become less cautious about data loss, unless it is an important file that may cost us huge financial setback or may put our job on stake. However, this easy going attitude makes us use the recovery utility without properly knowing about it and the trouble aggravates.

Let us discuss a real life scenario. An user has an HP system and while updating some of his audio/video ripping software, it showed some error. Then, it won’t work at all, even the files he had saved with the earlier version did not open. The user thought, he was good with the previous version and in order to recover his lost files, in a haste, ran the system recovery that usually comes with the HP system.

After running the system recovery utility, the user did not find any of his files, folders, documents in the volume. Under more panic, the user looked for a recovery point, but could not find any. All his data has been lost and the situation demands a third-party file recovery software, that can bring back the same.

Cause:
The cause behind the above loss is that on running, HP system recovery reformats the particular partition or volume and restores that to the the original system image. In this process, you tend to lose all your data only to recover it from the latest backup.

However, if backup is not available, then you have to take the help of any efficient file recovery software to recover and restore the lost data as the data is not actually lost permanently.

These file recovery software locate the formatted/deleted files by scanning the ‘freed’ area of the storage media and with calculated programs inside, they find the entries of the files that were present earlier. Then comparing both the utilities, recover the lost data. These software are totally stress free in usage as they come with step to step instructions.
