As soon as the search is completed, the module lists all available files that match your
search criteria. The table shows the file name, the original location, the file type and the
condition of the file.
Don't worry if the first letter of the file name is missing for the files on FAT drives, Windows
always deletes the first letter when deleting files on drives with this file system.
Recovering files
If you find a file that you wish to recover in the list, click it to select it. You can select more
than one file by holding the Ctrl key while clicking. Then click Restore
In the
, and the program
will attempt to return the file to the normal Windows environment.
Once the files have been recovered, try to open them in the corresponding program. If the
file can be opened, the recovery was successful. If not, then part of the file was already
overwritten by another file. And that can often happen sooner than you think.
File Condition
Condition column, TuneUp Undelete estimates the probability that file restore will
be successful. There are two possible conditions:
Good: The location of the file on the disk does not appear to be occupied by any other
files. The chances are good that the file can be successfully recovered.
Bad:
The file has already been partially overwritten with new data. It is still possible that
the file can be at least partially restored.
Please note that these are only estimates. It can never be determined with complete
certainty what has happened with any specific location on the hard disk since the file was
deleted.
