Active@ Floppy Recovery

Recover a Deleted Folder

  1. Find and select the deleted file in the Active@ Floppy Recovery.
  2. To restore contents of the file run the Recover command by one of the following methods:
    • Click Recover button on the toolbar Recover button, or
    • Right-click the file, and then choose Recover from the context menu.

  3. Select a drive and a folder for where you want the recovered file to be stored.
  4. After the recovery process is complete, make sure that the results are correct by verifying the contents of files and subfolders. In some cases, however, a file can not be reliably restored, because its contents or a part of it has already been overwritten.

Important icon Important

For the safety reasons, the utility warns you if you are trying to write the restored file back into the same floppy drive. A newly created file might overwrite the file under recovery (or a part of it), or the contents of the other deleted files. Always restore files to hard drive or another removable, or network drive.
