RecoveryFox AI lets you recover files from an internal drive or an external HDD or SSD. In this video, we will show you step by step how to recover data from an external hard drive on Windows using the AI-powered data recovery software.
The video will be uploaded soon, please watch the text tutorial first. Thank you.
RecoveryFox AI features a beginner-friendly interface, making it easy for everyone to recover lost or deleted data. Just follow these simple steps to quickly get your lost files back from an external hard drive.
Step 1. Connect Your Drive to PC
To recover data from an external hard drive, plug it into your computer first.
Step 2. Select File Location
Launch RecoveryFox AI as administrator. On the home screen, find and select the inserted hard drive. Clicks to proceed.
Step 3. Start Scanning
Then, RecoveryFox AI will begin scanning the selected drive. The scan time may vary from a few minutes to several hours, depending mainly on the drive size and file volume.
You can pause or stop AI Scanning any time if you wish to preview found files early.
Step 4. Preview and Recover
To preview a file, simply right-click on it and select “Preview”.
Then, select whatever items you want — whether it's all found files, folders of a specific type, subfolders, or individual files.
Click “Recover”, and then choose a safe location to save your files.
To prevent data overwriting, it's best to select a different drive or use an external USB drive.
For Desktop and Recycle Bin file recovery, the software will run a Quick Scan which usually completes within minutes and even shorter.
For other locations, AI Scan will automatically go on after Quick Scan ends for a more thorough and in-depth data scanning and rebuilding. With this AI-enhanced ability, even long-term deleted files and partially overwritten data fragments can be retrieved. The AI Scan process may take hours or even days mainly depending on your drive size, the number of files, and PC specs.
To enjoy a faster data recovery solution, you can go to ‘Settings’ before starting choosing file location. Then allow to jump over unallocated space on your disk, overlook temporary files, and broken archive formats, or embedded files within files.
1. Can data from a hard drive be recovered?
Yes, data from a hard drive can be recovered in most cases, even if it has been deleted, formatted, or the drive is logically damaged. The success of recovery depends on factors like the extent of damage, whether data has been overwritten, and the method used for recovery.
2. How do you recover data from an internal hard drive?
First, ensure you have another drive (e.g., D:) or an external USB to save recovered files. Then, launch RecoveryFox AI as an Administrator. Select the internal drive and start scanning. Preview recoverable files and restore them to a safe location.
3. How to recover data from a formatted external hard drive?
• Plug your formatted hard drive cable into the computer.
• Run RecoveryFox AI as an Administrator and select the formatted drive.
• Start scanning the selected drive to detect lost data.
• Preview the found files and start formatted file recovery.
4. Is RecoveryFox AI free?
RecoveyFox AI has an unregistered version that allows everyone to scan and preview recoverable files for free. However, to restore your files, you’ll need to upgrade to the Premium version and unlock the "Recover" feature.
