Recovered my priceless digital images from formatted hard drive

Posted: Jun 01, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Being a nature lover, I love traveling to various exotic and beautiful locales. My camera goes along with me as a trusted companion. No trip is complete if I don't capture a place's splendid beauty in the form of digital images. Digital images help me retain the ephemeral memories of a particular place and therefore, I am quite hooked to them.

Last week, when I switched on my computer to view those spectacular shots, I was left shell-shocked. To my horror, the images were nowhere to be found on my computer's hard drive. After absorbing the shock, I talked to my brother who confessed that he accidentally formatted my machine while exploring certain features. An annoyed and upset me had no option but to hunt for an efficient digital image recovery software.

Though the Internet is flooded with such utilities, it is advised to select a particular one very carefully. A less competent software can spoil the chances of successful recovery, leaving you perturbed. Thanks to my research, I discovered if a digital image recovery utility has the following attributes, you can use it blindly:

  • A tool is read-only and doesn't modify the original data

  • A tool which has simple and interactive graphical user interface

  • Tool which provides you with a glimpse of the recoverable data via its demo version

  • It recovers images from all storage media in all formats

Moreover, in order to bolster the possibilities of recovery, you can observe following precautionary steps:

  • Do not use a hard drive to store new data

  • Do not edit any content stored on a hard drive

  • Switch off the machine to avoid over-writing

To be concise, any subsequent disk activity should be avoided. I learned all these digital image recovery facts during my hunt for an efficient utility.

A third-party digital image recovery software is designed to recover images in almost all possible cases of data loss such as accidental deletion, unintentional or intentional formatting, read/write errors, file system damage and so on.

After toiling hard I came across a very promising software which vouched to recover images from various storage media irrespective of the data loss situation. I used it and my happiness knew no bounds when I retrieved all my digital images in a few minutes time.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a reliable utility which can be used to recover lost or deleted images from various storage media including memory cards, memory sticks, digital cameras, USBs, hard drives and other removable media. The software is available for both Windows and Mac users.
