How To Recover Files From Removable Storage
Our team has developed proven methods to recover files from removable storage of any kind. Whether it is external HDDs, SD cards, USB drives, optical media, floppy disks, or another legacy storage system, we can restore it. Each of our labs can handle repairs for physical damage or logical issues. You want to partner with a specialist when you lose critical data on older removable media. Our experience could be the difference between a full recovery and permanent data loss.
We also have free software for simple data loss events on removable storage. These programs can restore deleted data and repair corrupted files. Our suite contains software for external hard drives, media cards, and flash drives. It also includes tools for CDs and DVDs, diskettes, and removable media found in Zip, Jaz, Clik, LS-240, SyQuest, or Sparq systems. They are a viable option for cases with a clear cause of data loss from logical errors. Here are some tips for successful use:
- Stop recording data on the CD, floppy disk, or other media. Saving new data to the media could overwrite stored files.
- Inspect the media. Running software on damaged media can worsen data loss. Contact a data recovery service to retrieve files if there are signs of physical damage.
- If safe, use the buttons below to install the program to a PC with Windows 2000 or later.
- Connect the media to the computer and scan it. Save recoverable data to a different device or thumb drive than the affected media.
Still do not see lost files? Do not give up. Your storage might have a more severe issue that our experts can resolve. Call us or request help to start a case and reclaim important data.
Note: Pick the appropriate program from our suite. Use the Hard Drive tool for external HDDs. SD cards and USB drives require Flash. We designed the CD and DVD software for optical media. Standard floppy disks should use the tool for Diskettes. More recent legacy systems require Removable Media.
