🔍 How to Perform Recovery

🚀 Maintaining Your Drives

Regular disk health checks keep your data safe. Use the smart assessment tool to monitor your drive temperature and error rates. If the software flags a potential failure, move your files to a secondary storage device at once.

🧩 Managing Partitions

You can adjust disk space to fit your needs. Use the resize feature to grow a partition if you run out of space. You can also merge two adjacent partitions into one. Always back up your critical data before making large changes to your partitions.

🛡️ Data Protection

Accidents happen. DiskGenius helps you revert changes when you delete files by mistake. If you empty your recycle bin, scan the drive immediately to increase the odds of a successful recovery. Avoid writing new data to the same drive until the recovery finishes. New data can overwrite the space where your deleted files currently rest.

💿 Creating Bootable Media

If your computer refuses to boot, you can use the WinPE feature.

1. Insert a blank USB drive into your computer.
2. Open the Tools menu in DiskGenius.
3. Select Create WinPE bootable USB drive.
4. Follow the prompts to format the USB and copy the software files.
5. Restart your computer and press the boot menu key.
6. Select the USB drive to load the environment.
7. You can now access your storage and recover files even if the main Windows installation fails.

📝 Editing with the Hex Editor

The hex editor allows you to see the binary data on your drive. Only use this feature if you possess advanced knowledge of file systems. You can read exact disk sectors or modify the partition table in extreme cases. Most users do not need this tool for daily tasks.

🔧 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover files from a formatted drive? Yes. DiskGenius scans the surface of the drive for remnants of previous data. A full scan provides the best results for formatted drives.

Does the software support SSDs? Yes. It supports SATA and NVMe solid-state drives. The recovery process functions the same way as on traditional hard drives.
