It solves all data loss problems – recover files emptied from Recycle Bin, or lost due to software crash, formatted or damaged hard drive, virus attack, lost partition and other unknown reasons under Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 2008 / 7.

Most of you would think that if you back up your data regularly, they would be safe. Sound logical, isn’t it? The idea of data backup is that if the main hard drive fails, you still have another one to take its place. But what happen if your backup hard drive crashes as well?

Last month, after I have backed up my data, I reformatted my PC and installed a new Linux distro. When I plug in the backup hard drive to restore the data, the hard drive crashed on me. That must be the worst thing that ever happens to me, and yes, ALL MY DATA WERE GONE.

To cut the long story short, I went in search of a data recovery software and Easeus Data Recovery Wizard just appears right there in the top of the search result. I give it a try and it WORKS. If you are in the same shoe as me, you need to give this software a try.

I found EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard very useful in several ways. It is easy to use and it supports several storage media, including hardware RAID and hard drive, USB drive, SD card and memory card. The main version supports only FAT and NTFS file format, but the professional edition supports EXT file format as well.

There are three ways to retrieve data in DRW:

1) Deleted file recovery – If you deleted the file by mistake, this is where you go to find back the file

2) Complete recovery – Useful if the hard drive is accidentally formatted or crashed and the drive letter is gone.

3) Partition recovery – Great for lost partition.

The usage is easy. Simply click on any of the above option, select the drive/partition that you want to restore and click Next.

It will then proceed to scan the particular drive. The whole process can take from several minutes to several hours, depending on the size of your drive/partition.

Once it has finished scanning, it will display the result window. On the left is the list of all the file types found in the hard disk. Click on anyone of them and it will show the result on the right. For example, if you are searching for your lost image (in .jpg format), just select the JPEG Graphics File on the left and it will show a list of all the jpg file in the drive. Since it doesn’t show the actual name of the file, you might want to place a check on all the files and restore them

The next step is simply choosing the directory to save your file. Remember not to save them in the same place where they were previously located.

That’s it.

As it turns out, there is a great application out there just for the Windows home user.  It’s called EASEUS Partition Manager, and you should download it today!

In this short tutorial, I’m going to increase the size of the C: drive on my Windows Vista PC.

Important Note: Please backup your data before attempting to make changes to the partitions on your computer.  There is always the potential for lost data – so take the time to ensure you have a good backup.  If you need some help getting that started, check out this post on Backing up Your Windows Data the Simple Way – with Cobian Backup.

As you can see in the image below, My C: drive is about 40 GB, with only 5 GB of free space available.  My D: drive is a second partition on the same physical drive as my C: drive.  Under that you’ll notice I have 10 GB of Unallocated space.  This is space that was never assigned to anything.  I’m going to expand my C: drive to include this space – for a grand total of 50 GB.

The real trick in resizing the first partition on a multi-partition drive is in allocating the space in precisely the right location.  In this example, all of the unallocated free space is at the end of the D: drive, which means I’ll have to move it to the beginning of the D: drive, so that I can eventually add it to C: drive.  First, I’ll select the D: drive and click on the Resize/Move button.  A new window opens up and lets you enter the new settings that you would like to use.

To move the unallocated space from the end to the beginning, simply copy the size from the Space After box and paste it into the Space Before box.  The former will automatically reset to zero.

Now you can click Ok.  It’s probably best to note that no changes have actually been made at this time.  All that has been done is simply a list of changes has been added to a queue.  Changes only take complete effect after a reboot.

Now, we still haven’t allocated any space to C: yet, we’ve only re-arranged D: drive.  This time, select the C: drive and click the Resize/Move button.  Once again we are presented with the change window.

As you can see, the unallocated space is now at the end of the C: drive.  This time, drag the little arrow on the right-hand side of the yellow bar all the way to the right.  This will stretch the D: partition to the end, and leave you with no unallocated space after.

This essentially completes all of the configuration required to resize the partition.  Click Ok.  You should be back at the main window again.  If you are ready to complete the change, click the Apply button on the lower left-hand side of the window.  Like any good piece of software, EaseUs Partition Manager will prompt you several times to make sure you want to continue.

Before you click Yes to both of these, please make sure that you have backed up your important data.  Resizing a partition can be dangerous and there is always a risk of failure.  If you have confirmed that you have a recent backup, click Yes and get ready to kill some time.

The operation as described above took almost four hours to complete.  I wasn’t expecting it to take that long, so it actually seemed much longer as I watched the clock waiting for the work to finish.  Here is a screenshot of what you can expect after the reboot.

After the four hour waiting period, Windows booted back up as normal and the new sizing was in effect.

Just to recap, EASEUS is a freeware partition manager for Windows.  Most versions of Windows are supported, however 64-bit Vista is not.  Don’t forget to get your copy from their download site.
