AppleXsoft Data Recovery Pro — Step-by-Step Guide to Restore Your Data

Before you start

• Stop using the drive with lost data immediately. Do not install recovery software to that same drive.
• Have a separate storage (external drive or different internal drive) ready to save recovered files.
• Use a second computer or connect the affected drive as an external device if possible.

1) Download & install

1. Download AppleXsoft Data Recovery Professional from the official site.
2. Install it on a different drive than the one you’ll scan (external or another internal disk).

2) Launch and choose mode

1. Open AppleXsoft Data Recovery Pro.
2. Select the recovery mode appropriate to your situation:
   • Deleted File Recovery — for recently deleted files.
   • Formatted / Partition Recovery — if the partition was formatted or lost.
   • Deep/Raw Scan — when quick scans find nothing or the filesystem is damaged.

3) Select the target drive

• Choose the physical drive or logical partition where data was lost. If the drive doesn’t appear, use “Scan all volumes” or attach the drive via USB/SATA adapter.

4) Scan

1. Start the scan (quick scan first, then deep/RAW if needed).
2. Wait—deep scans can take hours depending on drive size.
3. Use the preview feature to inspect files (images, documents, some videos) before recovery.

5) Find and mark files to recover

• Browse the reconstructed directory tree or filtered file-type lists.
• Use the search and filter options (by name/type/date) to locate important files.
• Mark files/folders you want to recover (select checkboxes).

6) Recover safely

1. Click Recover / Save.
2. Save recovered files to a different drive (never the source drive).
3. Verify recovered files open correctly.

7) If recovery fails or drive is physically damaged

• Stop further automatic operations to avoid further damage.
• Consider creating a full image (disk clone) of the drive and perform recovery from the image.
• For physical failures, consult a professional data‑recovery lab.

Tips & best practices

• Act quickly: less disk activity = higher chance of full recovery.
• If unsure which mode to use, start with Deleted File Recovery, then use deep/RAW if needed.
• Keep recovered files organized into folders and verify critical files immediately.
• Regularly back up important data to avoid future loss.
