Lost Data Recovery: Recover Lost Data from Corrupted NTFS Drives

Loss of data can happen for multiple reasons even on modern and reliable media to store your files. The loss of information might happen because of system malfunctions, malware, power interruptions, or numerous other things. The majority of modern hard drives bear the NTFS file system. Being one of the most robust and recoverable file systems on the market, NTFS can be often recovered on the spot by the end user. But what if conventional lost data recovery tools such as checkdisk fail because of severe corruption of the file system structures? Until recently, providing the damaged drive to a professional data service was the only choice for most of us.

But not anymore!

NTFS recovery has become simple with the recent appearance of automatic lost data recovery products. If you feel hesitant about recovering your NTFS-formatted disk yourself, it is time to rethink that. Using 1st NTFS Recovery, an NTFS lost data recovery tool, to repair corrupted NTFS partitions is easy as pie. Just starting the lost data recovery tool, selecting the corrupted disk or partition and waiting for a few moments produces an Explorer-like window that lists all deleted files grouped by their respective directories. Click a file with a mouse, and you'll immediately see its contents 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 back in background mode, and video files will be displayed as such, including the sound. It's just as simple as it sounds!

The live preview technology does wonders by displaying deleted, damaged and even partially overwritten files in real-time. Live preview reads the disk to recover a document into computer's operating memory (RAM), repairs the file if it's damaged 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.

At-home data recovery on NTFS partitions is a reality. Today's lost data recovery tools such as 1st NTFS Recovery combine level of user-friendliness that was unthinkable yesterday with professional recovery features. Those are the same data recovery algorithms that many professional lost data recovery companies are using. Not getting much into the technical details, 1st NTFS Recovery is one of the first few lost data recovery tools that stopped counting on the file system as the only reliable 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 reformatted accidentally or by a virus. Instead of counting on the file system alone, 1st NTFS Recovery combines information from what's left of the file system with information it collects from the disk by scanning and analyzing its entire surface. Recognizing hundreds of different file formats such as documents, digital images, music, compressed archives, email and databases, 1st NTFS Recovery can repair them easily. If required, it will fix partially overwritten files. This happens completely automatically. No need to change settings or check anything to enable this powerful technology. Simply click to scan the damaged partition, and 1st NTFS Recovery will use every known technique in order to salvage as much of your data as theoretically possible.

1st NTFS Recovery is available for download at no charge. Make sure that 1st NTFS Recovery can actually recover your disk and recover your data by performing the disk scan and previewing the files that it finds. The Live Preview feature is fully supported even in the free edition of the lost data recovery tool, so if you see a preview of a file, you are guaranteed to get the file restored by the full edition. It's just as easy. Get your free evaluation version of 1st NTFS Recovery at http://ntfs-recovery.com/
