Recover Pictures fro a corrupted Hard Drive

Being a travel writer, I always have to rely on good snapshots to add strength to my adventurous tales. A story with no pictures won’t strike a chord with the readers. As part of my assignment, I went to places like Dubai, Paris, Venice, Switzerland which are considered as favorite for honeymoon couples. I used an external hard drive to save mesmerizing snapshots of these places. After winding up the assignment, I came back to my place as a relieved and happy guy. Next day, when I connected the hard drive to my Windows XP computer, I was greeted with the following error:

“File system corrupt and unreadable”

To my shock and dismay, all the pictures on my drive became inaccessible. I tried to fix the problem by running ‘chkdsk’ utility for data recovery but failed miserably. Since I could not afford to lose a single picture, I madly searched the Internet to know the ways to fix the corrupted hard drive. During my search, I came to know that the only way to fix a hard drive corruption is formatting. Since I could not afford to lose a single picture, I couldn’t go ahead with formatting. I again explored the Web to find a solution for my peculiar problem. What I discovered was truly an eye-opener, I found out that storage media corruption is not a big deal and my pictures can be recovered easily by using a picture recovery software after formatting.

These digital picture recovery utilities are reliable remedies to deal with picture loss woes. These third-party applications are designed to recover pictures lost due to various reasons like file system corruption, unintentional or intentional formatting, accidental deletion, read/write error messages etc. Moreover, these tools are designed to recover pictures from a range of storage media like memory cards, memory sticks, digital cameras, external hard drives, USBs and other removable media.

I formatted the hard drive and it was time to move on to the next step. Initially, I was reluctant to use a digital picture recovery software but then decided to give it a try after getting a glimpse of the recoverable data by downloading the demo version. And, I was surprised to see the thumbnails of my lost pictures. Without any second thoughts, I used the software and recovered all my lost pictures in a small span of time.
