Data Recovery Programs: Fix Files from Damaged NTFS Formatted Volumes

Data loss and corruption can happen for many reasons even on the most reliable hard disks. The loss of information can occur because of software crashes, malicious or accidental user activities, power blackouts, or numerous other reasons. Most modern hard drives are formatted with NTFS. One of the most robust, reliable and recoverable file systems on the market, NTFS can be recovered right away by anyone. But what if conventional data recovery programs such as ScanDisk fail because of heavy corruption of the hard drive? Until recently, providing the corrupted hard drive to a data recovery company was the only option for most of us.

But not anymore!

NTFS recovery has become easy with the recent introduction of automatic NTFS data recovery programs. If you feel hesitant about recovering NTFS partitions yourself, it is time to rethink that. Using 1st NTFS Recovery, one of the many data recovery programs, to recover damaged NTFS disks could not be simpler. Just starting the data recovery program, picking the corrupted hard drive and waiting for a few moments produces an Explorer-like window that displays all lost documents grouped by their respective folders. Click a file with a mouse, and you'll instantly see the contents of the file 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 background mode, and video files will be displayed as such, including the original sound track. It's just as simple as it sounds!

The preview does miracles by displaying erased, damaged and even partially overwritten files almost instantly. Live preview reads the disk to temporarily recover a file into computer's operating memory, repairs the file if it's corrupted or if a part of it is unrecoverable, and outputs 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 NTFS recovery is a reality. Today's data recovery programs such as 1st NTFS Recovery combine unprecedented ease of use that was unthinkable just a few years ago with professional-grade recovery algorithms. Those are the same recovery algorithms that many companies specializing in data recovery are using. Not getting much into the technical details, 1st NTFS Recovery is among the first few NTFS data recovery programs that stopped relying on the file system for getting information about the files and data being recovered.

The file system can get damaged severely, or even completely overwritten with new data if the disk gets reformatted or repartitioned accidentally or by a virus. Instead of relying on the file system, 1st NTFS Recovery combines information from what's left of the file system with information it reads from the disk being repaired by reading and analyzing its entire surface. Recognizing a wide variety of different file formats such as spreadsheets, images, a variety of sound formats, ZIP and RAR archives, email messages and databases, 1st NTFS Recovery can repair them easily. If required, it will fix missing and corrupted files. The recovery happens completely automatically. No need to configure or check anything to make use of this powerful technology. Simply click to scan the corrupted hard drive, and 1st NTFS Recovery will use every known technique in order to restore as much of your data as theoretically possible.

1st NTFS Recovery is available for evaluation download at no charge. Make sure that the data recovery program can truly fix your disk and recover your data by performing the disk scan and previewing the files it locates. Live Preview is fully functional even in the free edition of 1st NTFS Recovery, so if you see a preview, you are guaranteed to get it recovered by the full version. It's just as easy.
