How to recover my files that can’t be opened or unreadable

Computer is one of our essentials, making us more easier both live and work. And we also got stumped when computer was acting up. How to recover files from a malfunctioning computer becomes our priority.

First, we need to figure out why files can’t be opened normally or unreadable. In general, it is caused by hard disk partition table damage, with it’s partition information can’t be correctly read by the system. Furthermore, there are other common reasons.

1 Mobile devices.

Plugging the mobile devices in a incorrect way, like during reading process, that will result in file directory damaged or unreadable.

2 Inferior electronics.

Not only the key component of hard disk, but also poor data lines and power wires are the cause of unstable circuit, leading to error addressing, misreading or damaged file directory information.

3 Virus.

Unreadable files may caused by virus, which infected computer and led to wrong data or damaged files.

4 Accident.

Something unexpected happened while adjusting partition by tools or sudden power failure can lead to file directory corrupted either.

5 Poor mobile storage devices.

It could be bad mobile storage device’s fault for unreadable files.

What could we do about that?

Cease all operations running on the computer first, for avoiding of overwritten. Do not format partitions in a panic or do other wrong delete operations, that will increase the difficulty of data recovery and have inferior data restoration. Then you can

1.Select “properties-security” on the right-click menu of RAW disk, delete the useless user, add the user name of yours, then change the modify permissions to “full control”.

2.Choose the control panel on the start menu, select “local security policy-security options-network access”. Change “guest only” to “classic” in the sharing and security model for local accounts, then exit. Click “computer”, choose “security” on the right-click menu of disk that has been changed to RAW, delete the messy code then add local user of computer.

3.Change disk’s name. E.g. There are C/D/E/F and F is the RAW disk, just change F to E.

4.Download a data recovery software like Hdata Recovery Software to restore the crashed disk partition.

5.Click “start-programs-accessories-command prompt” on the start menu, type in “chkdek disk:/f”. e.g.”chkdek:H:/f”.
