Recover Windows 7
Windows 7 is the latest operating system in the Windows family of operating systems. There are various advanced features and several enhancements available in Windows 7 compared to Windows Vista. It is available in three different versions namely, the Home Premium version, the Professional version and the Windows 7 Ultimate version. The three versions are designed to suit specific sections of users, and are priced accordingly.
There are a few advanced and unique features which make Windows 7 stand out among other OS. The features can be summarized as follows,
- Windows 7 provides better sharing options for multiple PCs on the Home network. It lets you share files, photos, music and all other data easily within users in the Home Group.
- Continue to use programs that work on Windows XP with the features of Windows 7, by making use of the Windows XP mode option.
- Open the recently used files quickly and easily by making use of the Jump lists option.
- Windows 7 also provides options for scheduling Backups and restoring data on a regular basis.
Though Windows 7 provides such advanced and highly useful features, there are scenarios in which the operating system fails, resulting in loss of data. If the error is related to system files, it can be fixed using an in-built repair tool called System Restore that comes with the Windows 7 installation disc. You can use Startup Repair tool by following the steps given below,
- Boot your PC to the System Recovery options screen.
- From the System Recovery options screen, choose the Startup Repair option.
- Once you select the Startup Repair option, the Startup Repair tool scans your PC completely, and tries to fix any errors related to startup of your PC.
- If any problems are detected, they are displayed in the window, and if no errors are detected it displays a message that states that no errors have been detected.
The disadvantage of this tool is that it can only repair errors relating to system startup. It cannot repair or recover lost or deleted files and partitions. To recover deleted/lost files and partitions on Windows 7, you would require the help of a good data recovery software. Windows File Recovery software lets you recover deleted/lost files from the most severe data loss scenario on Windows 7.
You can follow the steps given below, to recover the lost/deleted NTFS partitions,
Step 1: Run the software, either by double clicking the desktop shortcut or by selecting the software icon from the Programs list in the Start Menu. The Main screen of the software gets displayed, as shown in Figure 1. There are three options that get displayed. Select the "Recover Partitions / Drives" option.

Step 3: Once the "Partition Recovery" option is selected, the detected physical drives are displayed by the software as shown in Figure 3. From the list of physical drives that are displayed, select the physical drive from which you want to recover the data, and click the "Next" button to proceed to the next step.
