Data recovery software using only one computer

Most data recovery software has one major flaw. It is a little secret that the companies selling these programs do not want their buyers to be aware of until after they have made their purchase. The problem or flaw is that most data recovery software must be run from a working computer that is then connected to the drive where missing files are presumed to be located by the use of cables connected to the working computer’s motherboard. This creates an immense problem, as both the working computer and the problem computer have to be taken apart before you can attempt file recovery.

The average person is unwilling or unable to do this, as they are well aware that they can easily damage their computer further. For these reasons, specialized data recovery utilities were developed. Unlike the older data recovery solution of working with extra hardware and software, these types of programs operate separately, running from your faulty computer’s CD/DVD drive. This allows you to directly access every file stored on your computer, including files that have recently been deleted.
