Computers and their hard drives make it incredibly easy to store large amount of data with minimum cost. That’s why we end up storing on them all the files important for our professional activity as well as personal data such as photos that capture events we experience once in a lifetime or movies or music files that you can’t say good bye to because they are fun to watch/listen from time to time. That’s why every time such a file gets lost or is deleted by mistake an entire drama follows. People start immediately to panic, especially if it was an important file that they need the next day. The main idea is that they have no idea how to deal with the crisis situation that has most likely taken away hours or weeks of work or memories that they can’t get back.
The first idea that comes to mind when such a situation occurs is try to see if you don’t have a copy available elsewhere. This is among the few alternatives you have when you delete by accident a movie or a photo. If it’s a document you can try to find a copy that’s similar in content with the file you have just deleted or start over and hope you will be able to get done most of the job in the remaining time. These solutions aren’t completely ridiculous, but they involve hoping and wasting a lot of time. The solution that I find more practical and more capable of producing desirable results is to use a software tool dedicated to the recovery of files deleted by accident or lost files. Such files don’t leave your computer the moment you press the delete button, so if you discover the loss in due time you have high chances to recover the file of your interest. If a lot time passes between the moment you lost the file and the moment you use the kind of software I’ve mentioned, recovery chances drop because the risk of finding out that the file has been partially or completely overwritten is higher.

So, now that you know there are options that can retrieve a file deleted by accident with little effort from your part, it’s time we discovered one option that’s available in exchange for reasonable pricing and can get the job done in an amount of time that’s not ridiculously long. The tool I want to suggest is Data Recovery Wizard 5.5. This software that can recover deleted files on Windows 7 computers comes with a lengthy list of features and has proven to have a surprisingly high success rate when it comes to the recovery of files deleted by accident. It’s also able to deal with drives that your system fails to recognize or with data loss caused by disk formatting, so you will be able to recover most of the files you have lost even if you have accidentally deleted an entire partition. That’s certainly good news for some of us. All the capabilities mentioned as well as the one that’s we’re about to discover as we move on with the review of this file recovery tool come at a price of only $69.95. If I got you interested, I’m ready to offer more details and explain you how this computer application is able to recover the file you have deleted by accident from a Windows 7 computer.
About Data Recovery Wizard
Data Recovery Wizard is a file recovery software tool created by EASEUS and comes with an interface that’s very similar to what you will discover by checking out the other alternatives available on the market. After launching the installed application, you will notice a welcome screen that makes available three main options: “Deleted File Recovery’, “Complete Recovery” and “Partition Recovery”. The first two options are common for most programs of this sort. What’s unique is the third option that makes possible to recover an entire partition if you somehow manage to delete it by accident. What you will also like about this option is the recovery speed it’s capable of. If the number of deleted files is low you won’t have to wait hours in order to get your files back.
Features of Data Recovery Wizard
By deciding to access one of the three main options I’ve mentioned, you actually determine how severe the data loss that has affected your computer is. It’s obvious that if you have lost a single file, you shouldn’t look further than the “Deleted File Recovery” option. In order to choose between the two other options available you need to determine if you have lost more than 50 percent of the data available on your computer and if the data loss has affected only a certain partition. After you answer this questions you will be able to take the best decision that will help you recuperate the files that you need in order to finish a project or make a nice surprise to someone you love.

The three options we’ve been discussing aren’t different only when it comes to capabilities, but also when it comes to the time necessary in order for a scan to complete. The scan that launches by clicking the “Deleted File Recovery” button takes less than all the other scans, but it’s not as deep and as complex as the scan that launches when you click any of the other options you have available. By lunching those time consuming scans you will be able to make sure the software checks all possibilities and every inch of your computer’s hard drive in search of the files that you have lost. Sometimes, even if more patience is involved, it’s better to use such a time-consuming option. You know how they say: “no pain, no gain”.
Using Data Recovery Wizard
After you download and install Data Recovery Wizard, using it won’t be much of a challenge. That’s because the entire interface is built based on the step-by-step format that requires only clicks in order to get users closer and closer to their final goal. All the information you need to know about a certain step is displayed, so it won’t be much of a challenge to use this software’s powerful capabilities in your best interest. After the scan you launch retrieves the list of files that are still recoverable, all it’s left to do is choose the ones you want back. Because the recovery process is so simple and easy to complete, you won’t have to read long instructions in order to recover a file deleted by accident. That’s the beauty of the interface that Data Recovery Wizard makes available.
Performance of Data Recovery Wizard
After making good use of the interface that Data Recovery Wizard makes available, you will be able to get back most of your lost files. However, if you choose to use first the “Deleted File Recovery” option you shouldn’t get frustrated if no desirable results are returned. That’s because this scan is fast but it only skims the surface of your computer’s hard drive. So, instead of getting frustrated you should consider using the “Complete Recovery” scan that will return for sure a longer list of results. At the end of day you will see that it all depends on the severity of the data loss you are dealing with. By taking the time to perform such a scan you might even stumble upon files that you can’t even remember about, especially if your computer hasn’t been intensely used since they were deleted. Once again you will notice how important is to accurately determine the severity of data loss before choosing one of the options made available.

What you will also like about this file recovery tool is that it delivers the same performance even if you are currently using a Windows 2000 or a Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) computer. In addition, it can deal with NTFS and EXT2/EXT3 file system just as professionally as it can handle FAT 12/16/32 file systems. What you will also find interesting is that before buying the commercial version, you will be able to enjoy a free trial. The limitation of the trial is that you can recover only 1GB of data. That’s not a lot, but if you need to recover only one file or if you want to test the software’s capabilities before purchasing it, it’s perfect.
Conclusions
If I were to change something about this recovery software is its scanning speed. I think that faster scanning engines that remain as efficient would help it be even more appealing. However, it’s only natural for a thorough scan to take longer than usual scans, so sometimes we should think more about quality and less about our comfort. What’s important is that Data Recovery Wizard can bring back from the dead most of the files that you have deleted by accident.
