Restoring photos from a flash drive
Restoring photos from a flash drive may be necessary if you accidentally deleted or formatted files on it. In this article, I will talk about several methods of data recovery.
1. Using data recovery software:
– EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard: this is a powerful program that allows you to scan and restore deleted files from various drives, including flash drives.
– Recuva: free software from the Piriform company also provides the ability to quickly and easily recover lost files.
2. Checking the Recycle Bin: Sometimes deleted images can still be found in the recycle bin of your computer or laptop (Windows) / Recycle Bin (Mac). Just go to the appropriate section and check its contents.
3. Using the command line:
For Windows users, there is an option to use the command line to search and copy the file directly using the following steps:
a) Open the “Command Prompt” through the “Start” menu.
b) Enter `chkdsk X:/f', where “X” is the drive letter of your flash drive.
c) After the process is complete, type `attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.*` and press Enter. This will display all hidden files on the flash drive.
4. Turn to specialists: if you cannot recover data from a flash drive yourself, seek help from professional data recovery services or companies that repair these devices.
In any case, before starting data recovery operations, it is always recommended to create a full copy of the contents of your drive to prevent possible loss of information during any manipulations.
