Data Backup And Recovery: Recover Files from Damaged NTFS Hard Drives

Data loss can occur for a number of reasons even on modern and reliable hard drives. The data loss might occur because of software crashes, accidental actions, power interruptions, or lots of other things. An absolute majority of modern hard drives bear the NTFS file system. Being one of the most reliable and recoverable file systems on the market, NTFS can be often recovered right away by the end user. But what if conventional data backup and recovery tools such as chkdsk.exe fail because of severe corruption of the disk? Just a few years ago, bringing the corrupted hard drive to a professional data service was the only option for most of us.

But not anymore!

NTFS recovery has become simple with the recent introduction of user-friendly data backup and recovery tools. If you were uncomfortable about recovering your NTFS-formatted disk yourself, think again! Using 1st NTFS Recovery, an NTFS data backup and recovery tool, to repair corrupted NTFS partitions could not be simpler. Just starting the data backup and recovery tool, selecting the damaged hard drive and waiting for a few moments opens an Explorer-like window that lists all lost files grouped by their respective folders. Click a file, and you'll immediately see what's inside in the form of a live preview. You'll see pictures as pictures and office files as formatted documents. Audio files will be played in the background, and video files will be displayed as videos, including the original sound track. It's just as easy as it sounds!

The preview does miracles by displaying deleted, damaged and even partially overwritten documents without writing anything onto the disk being recovered. The technology reads the disk to recover a file into computer's RAM, repairs the file if it's corrupted or if a part of it has been overwritten, and displays its contents in a form of a live preview. The technology works in both free and full versions of the data backup and recovery product.

Do-it-yourself style NTFS data backup and recovery is a reality. Modern NTFS data backup and recovery products such as 1st NTFS Recovery combine level of user-friendliness that was unthinkable yesterday with professional-grade recovery features. Those are the same data recovery algorithms that many companies specializing in data backup and recovery are using. Making a long story short, 1st NTFS Recovery is among the first few NTFS data backup and recovery tools that stopped counting on the file system as the only reliable source of information about the files and data being recovered.

The file system can get damaged severely, or completely overwritten by the new file system if the disk gets reformatted accidentally or by a virus. Instead of relying on the file system, 1st NTFS Recovery combines information from the file system with information it reads from the hard disk by directly scanning and analyzing its entire surface. Supporting numerous different file formats such as office documents, pictures, music, ZIP and RAR archives, email messages and databases, 1st NTFS Recovery can recover them easily. If necessary, 1st NTFS Recovery will fix missing and corrupted files. The recovery happens completely automatically with no user interaction. There is no need to configure or check anything to make use of this powerful recovery method. Simply scan the damaged volume, and 1st NTFS Recovery will do its best in order to salvage as much of your data as theoretically possible.

1st NTFS Recovery is available for evaluation download at no charge. Make sure that 1st NTFS Recovery can truly fix your disk and your data by performing the disk scan and clicking the files located by the recovery tool. Live Preview works even in the free edition of 1st NTFS Recovery, so if you see a preview, you are guaranteed to get that file recovered by the full version. It's just as simple.
