Tips to recover overwritten files or folders in Windows7

Some times we are wrongly overwritten files or folders without having a backup. While overwriting we lose the previous contents in that file or folder. In normal cases it is not a big issue but for important files it will cause a big trouble.

There are many of recovery software's around the internet to recover the lost data. They are bought by payment, time consuming and there is no guarantee to recover 100% of data. For this I have given some simple tips to recover lost data’s from files or folders using Microsoft Windows in-built function called Volume shadow copy.

This in-built function saves a snapshot of an old file when a file is updated and saved. If a file or folder is created on the system, volume shadow copy creates a back up for that file and creates restore points whenever files or folders are modified at later stages. It also helps in restoring deleted or renamed files and folders.

Procedure to recover overwritten files or folders:

1. Navigate to file or folder which desired to restore back.

2. Select the file or folder and make a right click.

3. Choose the Properties option and navigate to Previous Version tab

4. In this Previous Version tab you will be presented with various restore points available for that file or folder. Choose the desired restore point for restoring your file for folder and click restore. You can also click open button to see what you are going to restore.

5. In this procedure the overwritten file will be replaced with old file. If you want to preserve overwritten file along with old file or folder which you want to restore, then you have to click copy button instead of restore button. Once you choose the copy button, it will be prompted to give the location to save the restored file or folder.

Procedure to recover deleted or renamed files

1. To restore deleted or renamed file, you should know where the file or folder was saved.

2. Navigate to that folder which contained the file or folder which you want to recover.

3. Select the folder. Right click. Navigate to previous version tab

4. Double click on folder appearing on previous version tab and navigate to desired  folder or file which you want to restore and drag it your location or desktop

How to recover data from damaged CDs

In this article I have given an old technique which I have used earlier on how to recover data from damaged or scratched disks. Here we cover some special technique on how to create a full working CD from the scratched one.

Things you need:

•  Alcohol 120%
• UltraISO
• Windows XP/2000 (not tested on 95/98/me)
• Small piece of cotton
• Dry cleaner paper
• Oil

CD recovery process:

Step 1:

Prepare CD:

Clean the surface of the disc with a cotton cloth. Then, dry the water with a piece of dry cleaner paper. Now take another piece of cotton and drop some amount of oil in the surface of the disc and dry it carefully.  Some particles of the oil stay in the surface of the disc so that the oil helps the laser of the CD/DVD driver to read the surface again. 80% of the small scratched CD's could be recovered by using this process.

Step 2:

CD Testing: 

Use 120% Alcohol on the surface of the disc and then you will get 60% of data. If you repeat this process for more than three times you will recover the large amount of data.

Step 3:

Making a new CD:

Create one folder with the same name of the CD label and then just copy the CD content into that folder. Usually when the CD copy process finds the scratch, it's slow down the reading and tries to recover the data. Otherwise, it will show an unreadable sector error. But in our case, Windows Explorer gets all the data from the scratch and makes a copy of the content in the folder.
