CREATE DISK IMAGE IF YOU HAVE EXTRA HARD DRIVE, OR OTHER LOGICAL DRIVES ARE BIG ENOUGH!
Disk Image is a mirror of your logical drive that is stored in one file. This can be useful when you want to backup the contents of
the whole drive, and restore it or work with it later. Before you start recovering the deleted files, it may be a good idea to create
a Disk Image for this drive, if you have enough space at another drive. Why? Because if you do something wrong while
recovering the files (for example, recovering them onto the same drive could destroy their contents), you still will be able to
recover these deleted files and folders from the Disk Image that you have wisely created.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I deleted a file. How long do I have before data recovery is no longer possible?
It is not possible to predict a time like this in hours or days. Microsoft Windows can overwrite a deleted file immediately if it
selects the same data clusters.
To maximize recovery chances try not to write anything onto the drive where a deleted file is located before you start using
recovery software.
How can I download the trial version of Active@ File Recovery utility?
You can do it from the
www.file-recovery.net
Web site. The trial version is a utility with full functionality of the final program.
The only limitation is the maximum size of the file being restored.
I found that I have deleted very important document. It was deleted BEFORE Active@ File Recovery was installed on my
computer. Is it possible to restore it
Yes, if the file has not already been written over (by some other files). If you have found that some important file is deleted,
download and install Active@ File Recovery and search for this file. It may be a good idea to avoid excessive disk activity on this
particular hard drive, not to make a lot of other file deletions, to avoid computer reboots, not to invoke large number of
programs concurrently (which would cause the increased OS Paging/Swapping activity), etc. - all of this might overwrite or
partially overwrite the deleted document and also will make finding a particular file more complicated. The more free hard drive
space you have on your computer, the greater the chances for a successful retrieval of deleted file contents. It is always a good
idea to extract and install
Active@ File Recovery
to some OTHER hard drive - that does not contain important deleted file(s).
Does Active@ File Recovery work under Windows 2000 / XP?
Yes, it does.
Does Active@ File Recovery support localized (e.g. French, Spanish) files names
Yes, provided the OS and file system support localized file names.
