What Happened to my Data?
When a file is written to a hard drive, a record of that file is kept in the Root Table or Master File Table (MFT). As well, the addresses of file clusters are given labels, indicating the clusters are occupied. When an existing file is deleted, successful data recovery depends a good deal on the condition of the file clusters. When a file is deleted from a drive location, its clusters are labeled as unoccupied and the file entry in Root Table or MFT indicates the file has been deleted.
After a file has been deleted, the condition of the file clusters depends on whether or not other files have been written to the same drive. There is a chance that the file-writing process may have allocated these clusters and Root Table entries to be overwritten. To recover files successfully, it is strongly recommended to perform the recovery operation immediately after discovering that there are files that have been removed by accident.
It works under all Windows family operating systems:
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows ME
Windows NT
Windows 2000
