Data Recovery for Mac

Data Recovery for Mac - Getting Started:

Before getting started, your success in recovering data depends a great deal on how the disk is handled and the amount of information written to the disk after the deletion occurred.

DO NOT CONTINUE WORK ON A HARD DRIVE CONTAINING LOST DATA!!

• Never install software to a system containing deleted files you wish to recover.
• You should not continue to use the system with the deleted files.
• Do not use the system to surf the Internet, check mail, listen to music, watch movies, or create documents.
• Do not reboot or shut down the system.
• The more activity the less of a chance of recovery.
• DO NOT defragment your hard drive or execute any disk checking utilities in a deleted recovery situation. Doing so will likely remove all remnants of the file you are trying to recover.
• For best results, it is advisable to run 321Soft Data Recovery for Mac in the same session the files were deleted.
