Tech News Beats

We are always concerned about data on our computer and storage devices. First of all we must take regular backup of important data and make multiple copies for the safety of data. However, in a unfortunate event if you loose data or by mistake if you happen to delete a file, will you be able to recover that data. The very thought of losing data is worrisome. But yes, we can recover it with data recover tools. Today is I will show you one such tool which is free.

Recuva can recover files deleted from your Windows computer, Recycle Bin, digital camera card, or MP3 player. It is a extensive recovery system. It has a feature called undelete like undo on many applications. It basically undo the delete function to bring back deleted files. It can recover data damaged or formatted disks, recover deleted emails from Microsoft Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Windows Live Mail and restore unsaved Word documents. Also, if you want to get you files back with going into any options you can use the Quick-Start Wizard. Another option called Deep Scan can look for most untraceable files.

So by now you might have understood that, even if you delete a data it still lefts imprints on the system from which the recovery tool recovers the data. Now if you want to erase the data completely, you can use the securely delete files option. Is not it great to have such a sleek data recovery tool for free!

How to use Recuva:

1. After downloading it, First install it

2. Run Recuva, it gives welcome wizard

3. Next it will give you options like whether you would like to recover music, pictures, compressed files etc. Select your option and click next.

4. If you would need you can select deep scan (search deep buried files and takes long time)

5 On the next step it will show recoverable files. Select and recover the file you need.

Many a times we look for only a particular portion of the image or webpage. Then downloading the whole image or webpage will not work. So how do we accomplish this? Screen capture software can help in this regard. The biggest advantage of screen capture is saving time and effort.

We can do the same work with Windows’s inbuilt OS feature called “Paint”. You need to open the picture in paint, select the portion you need, copy/cut that portion, paste that section in a new window and finally save it. You are done but is it not long? Yes, I Know. It is here screen capture software does the trick. And what if I show you some free screen capture software!
