Recovering data using this NTFS data recovery software is made easy by means of a three-step process. To recover data, you need to 'Select' the type of recovery that you want to perform, which is followed by 'Scan' of the selected storage media. After viewing the recoverable files, which are displayed in a tree-like structure, you can 'Save' the recovered files either at the default location or a specific location.

 

NTFS file recovery software has four separate tabs offering separate functionalities. The four tabs include: Data Recovery Tab, Resume Recovery Tab, Advance Options Tab and Recovery Services Tab.

 

Data Recovery Tab: helps in NTFS data recovery with four different options including:

 

• Quick Recovery: for quickly scanning the entire selected area and to show a list of all the data, present or deleted.
• Deleted File Recovery for listing all those files in the selected area that got deleted.
• Formatted/Lost File and Folder Recovery for recovering data from the selected area of the hard drive.
• Search Lost Volume for performing NTFS partition recovery of deleted partitions.

 

All these different recovery options screen features additional options for NTFS data recovery flexibility. These include:

• Save Scan for retrieving data at a later stage.
• Find a file out of a list of displayed files.
• Mask to rearrange the scan list to display required files in hierarchical manner.
• Select All to select all the files for recovery
• Unselect All to unselect the selected files
• Recover to recover selected files and folders

 

Resume Recovery Tab:

 

to select previously scanned information to recover all the files shown in the scanned list. This scanned information is an image file that is used to start recovery of files. Note that, resume recovery feature of NTFS Data Recovery Software completes the recovery process, but not the scan process, i.e., in case the image loaded has information about an incomplete scan, and there are just a few files, then resume recover retrieves those files. To recover other files scanning has to be redone.

 

Advance Options Tab:

 

provides Raw Recovery, Drive Imaging and Drive Status Information. Raw Recovery performs recovery operation when the system area is corrupt for a hard drive or partition. This feature scans every sector, locates and segregates the files on the basis of their file types like .jpg, .png, .ppt etc. Raw recovery has nothing to do with the file system.

 

Drive Imaging feature of NTFS File Recovery further gives two options, Create Image and Clone Disk.

 

Create Image feature of NTFS partition recovery tool creates an image of the files and folders along with the entire hierarchy of the selected storage device. This feature is most useful when bad sectors slow down the scanning process of the NTFS file recovery software. Since imaging is done for the good sectors alone, scanning the image instead of the imaged area leads to a faster scan and an efficient NTFS recovery.

Clone Disk creates a clone of each and every sector and replicates the entire hard disk. Clone disk thus recreates the operating system, installed software, entire file structure, partitions and hard disk. With all these functionalities NTFS file recovery application ensures that there is no need to reinstall the software or settings.

 

Drive Status Information bears serial number, model number, temperature, size, status, S.M.A.R.T features and firmware revision number of attached hard disk. This is a very useful feature of NTFS partition recovery software. Drive Information box shows information such as total sectors, sectors per track, number of cylinders and number of heads. The volume Information box shows information of existing logical volumes in the hard disk.

 

Recovery Services Tab gives information about Stellar Data Recovery Services.
