Why is lost disk data recoverable?
User should firstly come to understand how operating system deletes file and how data is stored on hard disk before succeeding in deleted file recovery. Files are stored on disc track of disk driver by Windows operating system and allocated in clusters. Different file takes up diverse number of clusters with size varying in accordance with size of operating systems and logical volumes. Usually, small file occupies one cluster and big file takes up tens of thousands of clusters scattered into the entire disk. Windows employs a directory-like structure to organize files so as to perform effective file management. This directory structure contains a pointer pointing to the first cluster whose FAT includes the pointer pointing to the next cluster. By analogy, it stops till finding the closing tag. When deleting a file, Windows merely modifies the first file name into another special character and then labels the cluster occupied by this file as idle condition. As a matter of fact, the deleted file is still on disk unless new files are stored onto the disk to occupy these clusters and cover original data. Therefore, to
recover deleted files and lost files, user should directly operate on disk without involving operating system.
By employing MiniTool Power Data Recovey, user should perform operating on disk to recover deleted or lost files.
