Computer Data Recovery: Recover Files and Data from Corrupted NTFS Formatted Hard Disks

Loss of important information can occur for various reasons even if you use the most reliable disks. This can occur because of software crashes, viruses, power failures, and a number of other things. Most modern disks bear the NTFS file system. One of the most robust, reliable and recoverable file systems, NTFS can be recovered on the spot by anyone. But what if conventional computer data recovery products such as checkdisk fail because of severe corruption of the file system? Until recently, bringing the damaged disk to a data recovery service was the only choice for most of us.

But not anymore!

Computer data recovery has become simple with the recent appearance of automatic computer data recovery utilities. If you were uncomfortable about recovering an NTFS disk yourself, think again! Using 1st NTFS Recovery, a computer data recovery tool, to recover corrupted NTFS disks could not be simpler. Just starting the computer data recovery tool, clicking the corrupted hard drive and waiting for a few moments produces an Explorer-like window that displays all lost and deleted files and folders grouped by their respective folders. Click a file with a mouse, and you'll instantly see what's inside in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get fashion. You'll see pictures as pictures and compressed archives as folders. Audio files will be played in the background, and movies will be displayed as videos, including the sound. It's just as easy as it sounds!

The preview technology does miracles by displaying deleted, corrupted and even partially overwritten documents without writing anything onto the disk being recovered. The technology reads the disk to temporarily recover a document into computer's operating memory (RAM), repairs the document if it's corrupted or if a part of it is unreadable, and displays its contents in a form of a live preview. The technology works in both free and full versions of the product.

Do-it-yourself style computer data recovery of NTFS disks is a reality. Modern computer data recovery products such as 1st NTFS Recovery combine unprecedented ease of use that was unthinkable yesterday with professional recovery algorithms. Those are the same data recovery algorithms that many professional data recovery companies are using. Not getting much into the technical details, 1st NTFS Recovery is one of the first few partition recovery tools that stopped using the file system as the only source of information about the files being recovered.

The file system can get corrupted severely, or even completely overwritten by the new file system if the disk gets formatted accidentally or by a virus. Instead of using the file system as the only source of information, 1st NTFS Recovery combines information from the file system with information it reads from the disk by directly scanning and analyzing its entire surface. Being aware of a number of different file formats such as documents, images, music and audio files, ZIP and RAR archives, email messages and databases, 1st NTFS Recovery can recover them easily. If required, it will fix partially overwritten files. This happens completely automatically with no user interaction. There is no need to fiddle with settings or check anything to make use of this powerful technology. Simply click to scan the damaged drive, and 1st NTFS Recovery will use all techniques in order to locate and recover as much of your data as possible.

1st NTFS Recovery is available for download at no charge. You can ensure that the computer data recovery tool can truly recover your disk and recover your data by performing the disk scan and previewing the files located by the recovery tool. The Live Preview feature is fully supported even in the free edition of 1st NTFS Recovery, so if you see a preview, you are guaranteed to get the file restored by the full version. It's just as easy.
