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
- Download AppleXsoft Data Recovery Professional from the official site.
- Install it on a different drive than the one you’ll scan (external or another internal disk).
2) Launch and choose mode
- Open AppleXsoft Data Recovery Pro.
- 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
- Start the scan (quick scan first, then deep/RAW if needed).
- Wait—deep scans can take hours depending on drive size.
- 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
- Click Recover / Save.
- Save recovered files to a different drive (never the source drive).
- 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.
