Missing Files or Folders

A file is no longer found in the original folder, what does it mean?

It is not unusual that the information found on a drive is not sufficient for placing a file or a folder to its original place in the directory structure.

The software will collect these files and folders in the new directories 'Lost Files' and 'Lost Directories'. If you can´t find a certain file in the old structure, you should go and look in these folders.

Every data recovery software has its limits just like this one. If the storage device doesn´t contain enough information for reconstruction, e.g. after overwriting a sector with new data, the file cannot be found anymore and will not be listed in the directory.
The quality of data recovery often suffers from overwritten data.

Here is another example:
An image file is listed in a folder but previewing is not possible.
This is the case when basic information on the image file is still accessible but the image data have been overwritten and the image cannot be viewed. Data LifeSaver will find and show the file information and it looks like the image file still exists, although it can not be reconstructed.

Should you encounter other problems please go and check on our homepage www.easis-data-recovery.com, whether you are working with the most recent version of Data LifeSaver. If not, please download it to a safe storage device.

Nobody is perfect, neither are we. Should you have a problem or found a bug in this software, please send an e-mail to supporteasis.com describing your action and the problem. Thank you very much for your help.
