How to Recover Deleted Files from Hard Drive in Windows?

Accidently delete important files using Shift + Delete keys in Windows XP? Can't get valued pictures back from the recycle bin after you emptied it? How to retrieve data from ‘not recognized’ hard drive and reconstruct inaccessible partition? 

You're Luck! Deleting or formatting won't make the data erased permanently. Those deleted data are still stored in the hard drive. They're just invisible or inaccessible. Only the FAT or NTFS table is erased (the information about where those data were saved), but the real data are still intact there in sectors of the hard drive.

So as long as those data are not overwritten by new data, it's highly possible to recover deleted files. The most effective way is to rely on some data recovery program.

One more tip:

If the hard drive can't be detected(means can’t show up in ‘my computer’ as a drive letter like C: drive),you can try this trick for data recovery.

Put the hard drive in a zip-lock bag and put it in the freezer for overnight. Then while it's still cold plug it into your computer.

If it fails, you will have to go to a recovery office but let's hope not because it will cost you a lot of money and whether they can recover data is not guaranteed.
