Recover Data from a Failed OS
If ever a system constantly reboots and freezes with an error message displayed on the screen or even when it stops working entirely without any notifications, EaseUS data recovery software will assist any user to copy out all the critical files and move it to a safe place.
Damaged Hard Drive Recovery
When a hard disk does not respond and the user hears some clicking or funny noise during boot, this may be a sign of an impending disk failure. EaseUS data recovery software has the capability to recover data from the dead hard drive and do hard disk repair.
Recover Data from More Other Scenarios
Users may encounter a variety of data loss dilemmas. Data is very important to anybody thus when there is an absence of an updated backup users need not worry because EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard is the fastest way to recover data.
![[Image: WMp4DOL.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/WMp4DOL.gif)
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard supports common recovery job of all file types. If the file system directories/indexes are damaged, the files can only be found and recovered from the content part of a partition. Lost files detected in this way are rebuilt into a "RAW" file because not every file type share the same file structure and identifier. Most lost files can be recovered and retrieved a RAW file. See info on RAW recovery HERE
![[Image: K7p41r3.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/K7p41r3.gif)
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard scan process consists of 2 parts:
Quick Scan
A fast scan only tries to rebuild files from every deleted flag in a file system.
Advanced Scan
Automatically starts right after the quick scan, which not only fully checks the file directories/indexes to find more files, but also goes through every sector on the hard drive to increase the possibility of a successful recovery.
The user can "pause" or "stop" the scanning process anytime via the "Pause / Stop button" at the lower left corner of the interface.
![[Image: n22HQDC.png]](https://i.imgur.com/n22HQDC.png)
A scan session of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard finds files via 2 parts: (1) Lost Files, and (2) Existing Files.
1. Lost Files
These are the files that are designated as:
(i) Deleted
Deleted (files) are files that are searched from the files system during the 'Quick Scan'.
(ii) Tags Extracted
Loosing filenames makes it difficult to find the files you want to recover. Therefore, EaseUS extracted some residual attributed information as "Tags" (such as the camera that took the photo, artist of the song, creator of the Office document, such as PDF, etc.) to help you locate these files without the filename but with some residual attributes.
It is highly recommended to save the scan session file and that will be helpful in case of any interruption happens during the recovery process. The scan session can be saved via the second top icon on the menu bar. See image below.
![[Image: BWY3lNp.png]](https://i.imgur.com/BWY3lNp.png)
The "saved" scan session can be loaded anytime via the same icon. The default folder for the saved scan session is below:
Quote:C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard\SaveScan
(iii) File Name lost
These are files that are found with 'Advanced Scan', but the filename (itself) is missing. Although without the filename, it is (still) possible that they are the lost files that user wants to recover.
2. Existing Files
These are the existing files (existing data on the drive) which can be ignored.
Users can use the "Filter" function so the search results can be "filtered" to not reflect "Existing Files" and only show "Lost Files".

How to Recover Data from External Hard Drive - EaseUS
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro is simple to use and commences a scan the moment the user selects the drive (or whatever device) for scanning. The 'Quick scan' is the first and then followed by the 'Advanced scan'. When the scan completes, the detected files will be listed with an accompanying file structure. Users are advised to check the file size, date modified, and file type to properly discern the lost files that he is looking for. One of the most useful features of this software is the 'Preview' feature (pre-recovery viewing). This is a sort of reassurance allowing the user to view/observe the lost files for recovery. The 'Search' box gives the user the opportunity to find specific files. If the user knows what specific file, say, filename, then using the 'Search' is the fastest way to find those files.
To recover the found data, the user just simply needs to select the files he wants to recover, click 'Recover', assign a recovery destination and wait for the recovery process to finish. Pretty simple!
Users can use the "Filter" function so the search results can be "filtered" to not reflect "Existing Files" and only show "Lost Files".
![[Image: pnyLZx0.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/pnyLZx0.gif)
'Save' and 'Load' scan sessions
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard has a nifty feature allowing the user to save and load scan sessions! Rather than scan a particular device again (depends on the need that is), EaseUS aids the user to dispel repetitive actions such as these. This is a welcome addition for the user to save time. The scan tool also includes pause and stop buttons for interrupting the scan process when necessary.
![[Image: BWY3lNp.png]](https://i.imgur.com/BWY3lNp.png)
'Recovery Repair'
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro has capabilities to recover and repair files including photos too. It is a good feature for users who need to recover a photo that has been damaged or had errors. The application uses AI - artificial intelligence to repair errors in damaged photo and video files, and gives you a preview of the file before it completes the restoration. The same algorithms is also used to attempt repairs on documents and PDFs, and these features can be deployed on batches of files if the user needs to repair lots of pictures in quick succession.
![[Image: AZgMWmp.png]](https://i.imgur.com/AZgMWmp.png)
'Bootable Media'
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro allows for the creation of bootable drive via "Crash PC Recovery". Users can do this recovery via creating the 'bootable media/drive' from within the program. This is the kind of feature is most welcome, as it gives additional help to the user dispelling the need to install the application onto the same drive which the user is trying to recover. See link below for more info.

FINAL WORD
Feature wise, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro does everything it needs to do for the user who needs to recover lost data. The interface is clean and looks good without any clutter to confuse the user. Scans are fast and recovery is at par with the other comparative data recovery software used. Recovery is effective, as it recovered 8 out of 8 files that were deleted. There was an issue on "no preview" in "AirVPN INTRODUCTION_2023_DRAFT.docx" but this "no preview" is also present in the alternatives. Let it be noted that despite the "preview issues" encountered all files were intact and usable. See list of preview issues below.

Some notable features of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro are mentioned again below.
1. Recovery repair
In a random search for lost files, I encountered an image file that was offered 'recovery repair'. While the recovery repair did not give the same image as previously seen. The repair was commendable still. I do not see that there is a recovery repair on both the alternatives used for comparisons (that is within the tests done).
2. Save / Load scan session
None of the alternatives used for comparison have this feature. So there will be no means to save a scan session (when using them) and the user has to repeat the scan/recovery process for his quest for lost files. See relevant images above.
Bootable Media creation issue
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro allows for the creation of bootable drive via "Crash PC Recovery". Now I remember in EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro ver7 there was an option to "Export to ISO". This was useful because if you do not have a spare USB drive you can still create the WinPE bootable ISO. I cannot understand why did EaseUS did this? See link on the version7 feature below.
Create Bootable Media of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Windows
https://kb.easeus.com/data-recovery/30005.html
Here in EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro version 17.0 that "Export to ISO" feature is nowhere to be seen. Option just to create to a USB drive!!! Why EaseUS?
Anyway, since I do not have a spare USB drive at the moment I used an existing USB rescue media. Formatted it to suit EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro's needs. The creation went well but to my surprise the USB drive was "empty". See image below.
![[Image: s1Nvi4W.png]](https://i.imgur.com/s1Nvi4W.png)
I still tried to boot the system to the created USB --"usbboot (k) (--boot-to-usb) but it did not boot. Only showed a 3 or 4 letter gibberish characters. I wasn't surprised after all the usbboot (k) was empty.
Now I repeated the creation 3x to no avail. Even uninstalled / re-installed EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro v17.0. It still showed "empty" (same as the image above). Now to verify if it is the USB drive that is at issue, I formatted it again and re-created the rescue media USB drive (the former Paramount Software UK program it was used for). The rescue media USB drive (re-created) booted fine and dandy. So, it isn't the USB drive that is at fault here. Now this is a crucial issue and any new user should be alarmed about this issue of bootable drive creation failure.
See link that I used as guide for the USB bootable drive creation Run EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard from WinPE Bootable Disk
I have sent EaseUS support a ticket about this and we are currently discussing the issue. Let it be noted that during the creation of the USB bootable drive via the "Crashed PC Recovery", EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro v17 downloads an ISO file --"ImagePE.iso" that is located in the installation directory (C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard). Thus, the user needs to be connected to the internet while creating the bootable drive. That "ImagePE.iso" is the WinPE of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro v17. The same ISO file can be used as a workaround FOR the issue of USB bootable drive creation failure. Users can manually create a USB bootable drive of EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro using the downloaded "ImagePE.iso". See images below. (I will be updating this thread when additional news arrives)
![[Image: nP9E9Im.png]](https://i.imgur.com/nP9E9Im.png)
![[Image: 9OH6p3Y.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/9OH6p3Y.gif)
In comparison, (i) Aomei MyRecover Pro v3.6.0 (Giveaway version) also allows creation of a bootable media straight from the user interface while (ii) Wise Data Recovery Pro v6.1.4.496 (Giveaway version) has a downloadable "portable version". No additional purchase required. See images.
![[Image: 1od4YKh.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/1od4YKh.gif)
![[Image: T0I20VZ.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/T0I20VZ.gif)
Wise Data Recovery Pro (as mentioned), has a downloadable "portable version" from their site. It is free for all who want to use it. Note on the portable version: Wise Data Recovery Pro's portable version can't boot directly into a recovery environment thus a system should be mounted from another device in order for it to work. Check it out HERE. I have also reached out to WiseCleaner support and they have considered my suggestion of a downloadable bootable media.
Pricing
As compared to the alternatives used, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro is expensive at $99.95/year. While Aomei MyRecover costs only $59.95/year and Wise data Recovery Pro at $39.97/year. Let be noted that the alternatives used here for comparison are all free-giveaway versions. So, if you do not want to shell out additional bucks for a recovery software you can search giveaway sites that offer free-Pro version-giveaways.
![[Image: sVQ4qfO.png]](https://i.imgur.com/sVQ4qfO.png)
No data-recovery app can retrieve everything. That is a tested fact. Even those that claim that they can retrieve everything, fall short on their claim/promise (in one way or another). When this happens, the user who is desperate to recover his lost files gets disappointed because his files are lost forever. That is a sad fact that he needs to contend with.
Here in this simple test, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro v17.0 got the job done and proves to have some features that aren't offered by the competition. The issue with the "bootable media USB drive creation fail" is a different story though. With such an issue, the user will have diminished recovery options because without the bootable drive he will recover via Windows only or he, (the user) can temporarily use the mentioned workaround with the "ImagePE.iso" file. (As of this writing, I am still waiting on "further" response from EaseUS support.)
Let it be noted that the two alternatives also got the job done of recovering all 8 test files but it is the added features that sets EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro apart from both. It is a fast and efficient data recovery application and is recommended. Greatly recommended IF you (or EaseUS) get the bootable media USB drive creation working properly.
Cheers guys!
