Hard disk software recovery
Software recovery of a hard disk is a process of using special software to correct problems with the operation or damage of data on the hard disk.
If your hard drive periodically freezes, runs slowly, or gives an error when booting the operating system, a recovery program can help solve these problems. It scans and analyzes the contents of your disk, allowing you to find and fix possible file system errors or broken sectors.
The main functions of such programs are:
1. Scanning: they perform a full analysis of all partitions on your hard drive to identify any potential problems.
2. Recovery of deleted files: if you accidentally deleted some data from your computer, the program can help you get them back.
3. Work with damaged partitions: if one of the partitions on your HDD became unreadable due to physical damage (for example, a scratch), this program can try to restore it.
4. Fix MBR (Master Boot Record) file errors: MBR is the first sector on the hard disk that contains information about partitions and the boot process. If it is damaged or corrupted, your computer may not start. The recovery program will help fix this problem.
However, it should be noted that software recovery has its limitations. In cases of serious physical damage (such as a breakdown of the read/write mechanism), the program may be useless and require contacting data repair specialists.
In any case, before using such a program, you should create a backup copy of all valuable data to another device or medium to prevent possible loss of information when working with software recovery tools.
