Until now my laptop was running with windows XP. When I saw my friend using Vista I was really impressed with the features it had. So I formatted my laptop hard drive and reload Win Vista on it. I had backed up all the important data to a Rewritable CD. When the laptop was running perfectly with Vista, I decided to copy the data from backup. Now I find no data on the CD’s, I am really worried about how to get my data back. Will your software help?

Don’t panic! You can easily recover your lost files with NTFS Data Recovery software. Make sure you do not further save any new data on the hard drive. The best option for you is to download our NTFS Data Recovery demo version and use “Turbo Scan” search.

Download the demo on to another hard drive and connect it to your laptop. Run the software on the formatted hard drive choosing the option turbo scan to scan the drive for lost files and folders. Below are the steps for turbo scan.

1. Scan the drive using “Recover your Data” and once the tree is formed
2. Select Tools > Turbo Scan.

The software will now perform an intensive search for lost files and folders and lists all the found files and folders in a separate folder as “##LostFolders1″.

Once the scan is over, software will show you the list of deleted files and folders which are recoverable.
