Advanced Disk Recovery

Once you install and launch Advanced Disk Recovery, the first screen lets you choose the area or the location on your computer that you want to scan for deleted files. Based on the area you have selected, you can further select the drive or partition and scan it for lost files. The same screen also shows you the scan history i.e. when you conducted your last scan, the file system of the drive on which the scan was conducted, and how many files were found.

Once you click on the Start Scan Now button you can select the mode of scan from the next screen. We have discussed what each of these modes of scan stands for in the features below.

Once the scan is completed, the deleted files are enlisted in a tabular form where you can see the file name, file extension, location, file size, last modified date and time, attribute, state, and comment. Furthermore, you can also find out if the files are recoverable or not.

At the bottom, you can further narrow down your search for deleted files, by clicking on the Filter Options button from where you can select various filters, some of which we have discussed in the features section below. You can also preview the recoverable files before actually recovering them.

At any point in time, if you wish to go back, you can click on the Return to Home option that you can see at the top left corner of the interface.

Once you have selected the location and click on Search for Lost Data, the next screen appears. This screen can further be divided into two parts. On one side you can choose how you would like to see the identified deleted files – by path or by file type. Subsequently, the results will appear on the right-hand side. At the very bottom of the interface, you can see the scan mode that is in progress. If you want you can even stop or pause the scan by clicking on the appropriate button.

From the top, you can change the view of how files are enlisted. You can click on Details and see the name, size, type, and date modified of your files. Or, you can click on the Icons to view your files as icons.
