Recently I formatted a memory card that was full of pictures that I had not transferred over to my computer and I was worried that they were gone. Luckily I knew right away that I needed to recover files, this is important because if you write on the disk the chances of recovery go down by a large percentage.

If found a program called Recuva, installed it and ran it. After about 45 minutes all of my pictures were found and I was able to transfer them to my computer.

Here is what you need to know about data recovery:

If you write to the drive after a deletion the chances of recovery go down by a large percentage If your hard drive or memory card is physically bad you will have to send it to a special shop to get the data recovered and the price tag can be well over $1000
