WilliamBiggy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 OK, this is my first post on this forum, and hopefully the last. This September I bought a Dell XPS 13 and its hard disk died a few days ago. After replacing the hard disk I realized that, without any back-up, I'll need to dig my (non-deleted) files up from the dead hard disk, including some word files and photos. As you can see, the hard drive is SSD (I'm getting a PCIe to USB adapter), which as far as I can google may not work that well in Recuva, so I want to know if there's a decent chance to get some of my files back.

Moderators mta Posted December 28, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2017 doesn't Recuva only look at deleted files? if true, Recuva won't help you. plus it's all going to depend on how/why that SSD has died. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Augeas Posted December 28, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2017 Yes. it will look for non-deleted files, as long as it can see a drive letter. In Advanced Mode/Options/Actions check the fifth box down. As Mta says, success, or otherwise, may depend on how the SSD died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamBiggy Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 If it recovers both non-deleted and deleted files, how do I distinguish non-deleted files from deleted ones? Previously I only used Recuva for deleted files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted December 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 29, 2017 The state of non-deleted files is Not Deleted. You can sort this column and then select whatever group you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
