Abstract
This chapter presents the sufficient information that helps to overcome various problems. If a file has been accidentally deleted from the hard disk, remember not to copy the recovery program to that disk as it will almost certainly damage the chances of recovering the file intact. A hard or floppy disk that has been inadvertently formatted can normally be recovered. The same rules about undeleting files apply to unformatting disks—no operation should be carried out on the formatted disk until the correct utility program has been used, or the disk may become unrecoverable. In case of a hard disk crash, the best solution is to format the hard disk and to restore from backups. Use a machine that is known to be suitable to make a copy of the backup disks. Then restore from the copies. If a floppy disk fails to read, try it in a different computer as there may be a problem with a drive being out of alignment.
