Flash data recovery quick start guide

Flash File Recovery is computer data recovery software for flash cards. It will effectively recover corrupted or lost data from formatted, damaged, unreadable or defective storage media.

The version of Flash File Recovery that is downloaded from our website is fully functional. It will allow you to preview the contents of the files that it has recovered from your storage media. However, you must purchase a registration key before you can save your files.

STEP 1 - DOWNLOAD & INSTALL

Download Flash File Recovery from our download page. Run the installation file, 'FFRSetup.exe' and follow the on-screen installation instructions.

STEP 2 - SELECT THE TYPE OF SEARCH AND THE DRIVE TO SEARCH

Click on the desktop icon to run the program. A wizard will present you with two search options:

     1.   Full scan

     2.   Fast scan

The most comprehensive results will be obtained by running a "Full scan".

Select the device you wish to search by using your mouse to select the device from a drop-down list. Click next to proceed to the next wizard screen.

STEP 3 - RUNNING THE SEARCH

When the 'Start scan' button is pressed the search is commenced. Note that a "Full scan" may take a long time (up to several hours) as they are a scan of your entire storage media.

It is possible to preview the search results whilst the search is in progress.

STEP 4 - THE RESULTS SCREEN

STEP 5 - SAVING RECOVERED FILES

Flash File Recovery must be registered in order to save files. A registration key can be purchased via our purchase page.

Check files to be saved in the results screen. Then click the 'Start recovery' button. You must currently save files to a separate storage media to the one on which they were recovered.
