FAQ

How long does it take to scan a hard drive?
The scanning process typically takes about 30 minutes. However, if your drive contains a large number of files or has a significant capacity, the scan may take up to 3 hours.

Is MiniTool Power Data Recovery safe to use?
Yes, it is completely safe. The software only scans the drive to locate lost or deleted data and does not modify the drive or its files in any way.

Why can’t I open the recovered files?
If the recovered files cannot be opened, it usually means they were already damaged or corrupted before the recovery process.

How do I check if my lost or deleted files are recoverable?
You can use the free version of our data recovery tool to scan the drive. If your lost or deleted files appear in the scan results, they are recoverable. Additionally, the free edition allows you to recover up to 1GB of data to test the recovery process.

Why should I avoid saving recovered files to their original location?
Saving recovered files to their original location can overwrite the space previously occupied by the lost or deleted files, making them permanently unrecoverable. Always save recovered files to a different drive or location.
