Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery 1.0.1

By default, the Windows operating system is set up so that it will not delete a file when you press the Delete button. What Windows does, by default, is it moves the file you deleted to the Recycle Bin. If you change your mind and you no longer want to delete a file, you can restore it from the Recycle Bin.

But imagine this situation if you will: you emptied the Recycle Bin after you deleted a file, or you pressed Shift + Delete, key combination that bypasses the Recycle Bin. Then you realize that you nee that file back, but you cannot restore it from the Recycle Bin. What do you do?

The answer is quite simple: you turn to software for help and to be more precise, data recovery tools. There are a myriad of such applications out there. Some deserve mentioning, others do not. The Disk Doctor Labs-developed Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery definitely deserves mentioning.

Here is the sort of functionality you can expect to get from this application:
- Recover accidentally deleted files and folders, files that have been removed from the Recycle Bin, missing files, lost files.
- Recover files corrupted by power glitches, virus attacks, disk corruption, partition corruption.
- Recover files from accidentally formatted drives.
- Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery provides support for the most common file types, including DOC, XLS, PPT, MDB, NSF, PST, .dbx, MBX, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PSD, AVI, MPG, MPEG, MP3, WAV, WMV, DWG, DXF, MDB, and DBF.

If you get Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery and put it to the test, do not install it on the drive from which you want to recover data. If you need to recover data from drive D: for example, do not install it on this drive. A word of warning about data recovery: no application out there can guarantee that it will recover your data. There are several factors at play here, like when the file you want to recover was deleted, whether the file you want to recover has been overwritten, and so on.
