Select from the frequently asked questions below. If you do not see your question, you can contact our technical support and sales staff.

• I have accidentally erased a photo on my digital camera. Can I restore it with Auslogics File Recovery?
  Digital camera memory sticks and computer folders are quite similar. With this program, you will be able to recover any recently deleted picture or movie from your digital camera. Flash memory and other USB devices are supported as well.
• Can I recover data from a CD or a DVD?
  No, Auslogics File Recovery is designed for recovering files from hard drives, floppy drives, USB Flash drives and memory sticks.
• I have deleted a hard drive partition. Can I get the data back?

  Yes, Auslogics File Recovery can locate the information about deleted portions of the disk, so that you can restore files from lost partitions. Moreover, even if you have reallocated some portions of the disk for other partitions, you can still recover your data.

  To restore files from a lost partition, click Tools and then Scan for Lost Partitions. This opens the Search Lost Partitions wizard. The wizard will ask you to specify which physical disks to scan for lost partitions and the range to perform the scan on.

  When you have found the deleted partition you are looking for, you will be able to restore files from it.

• Can I recover data from a formatted disk?
  If only a quick format of the disk has been performed, you will be able to recover all the files that were on the disk before formatting. However, it will be impossible to recover any files from a drive that has been fully formatted, since that process erases all information from the disk.
• Some files were restored incorrectly. Why?

  Auslogics File Recovery works by trying to restore the original file contents. The moment a file is deleted, its data on the disk is not physically erased, but rather marked as free. Chances are that newly created files can partially overwrite the space occupied by the deleted file. In this case, it's not possible to restore the file completely. And, although the file might look like it was restored, the contents of the file can differ from that of the original.

  Usually the best chance to restore the files is when the files are not on disk C: and when they are restored as soon as possible.

• Does Auslogics File Recovery support Windows 7 or Windows 8? Does it work with 64-bit CPU?

  • Windows XP with SP3 (32-bit)
