I have at home a laptop computer that sat unused for 18 months. One day when I went to turn it on I was greeted with an extremely bright blue screen holding only words telling me that my computer had suffered a fatal error. At that time I knew nothing about data recovery and because of this closed the laptop computer and placed it in the closet. A major problem caused by this laptop crash was that I had very important documents stored on that computer. I had no idea how to rescue them. Plus the computer was completely unusable. In order to make my laptop work again all I needed to do was reload my Windows operating system. This would’ve been a matter of a couple hours time and use of the recovery disks. But had I done so reloading Windows would have reformatted my hard drive and erased my documents forever. Or so I thought.

Reloading Windows does format over your files but it does not permanently erase them. If you have a computer showing a Windows error screen you can return that desktop or laptop computer to operational status by reloading Windows. Then, you can use a data recovery tool to recover files from the formatted hard drive. To recover data from formatted drive storage simply direct your file recovery tool to do a slow scan of your entire hard drive. This will return to you a list of all files that had previously been stored on that drive. From the list choose any or all for recovery.
