Step by Step: Doing a Data Recovery with GetDataBack

Step by Step: Doing a Data Recovery with GetDataBack

1. Install GetDataBack on the Master/Boot (C:) drive of your Recovery Computer.

2. Start GetDataBack by clicking on Start>All Programs>GetDataBack.

3. Intro Screen>Next

4. Select Drive/Pilih drive tempat file yang di cari > Next

5. Step 1 Screen :

Select the drive you want to recover under Physical Drives. Choose the entry under Physical Drive over any ones under Logical Drives - this will usually yield the best result. There is usually no need to change any options manually in the Options tab on the right hand side. Refrain from changing any settings in Partial Scan - this feature is for experts only and will not improve your recovery results.

Press >>Next.

6. Scanning drive

GetDataBack will now scan your drive for every available information regarding the original file system. The scan will take some time, you should at least allow an hour of scanning for every 50 GB of drive capacity. However - if the scan takes much longer than this, there is something wrong. It is normal if the scan is not completed within a couple of hours.

>> Your drive has a physical problem. If the drive has a lot of bad sectors (damaged areas on the drive's platters that cannot be read anymore) or is otherwise damaged, the scan can take really long if it's ever going to finish.

>> You are scanning an external drive through the USB port. Scanning a drive through USB takes much longer than scanning a drive that is connected to the internal IDE-cable of your computer. In extreme cases the scan can take 10 times longer, especially when using USB1. Consider taking the drive out of its casing and attaching it directly to the IDE-cable.
