Losing your essential data can be troublesome. You may end up losing your files due to accidental deletion, formatting, drive corruption, and several other reasons. Fortunately, you may recover your data with an efficient data recovery tool. One such tool is launched by Stellar Data Recovery, a premium data care company, after considering multiple data loss scenarios and users’ data recovery needs.

What Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition Can Do?

Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition is a powerful data retrieval software that can recover all data types, including documents, email data files, videos, photos, and more. It supports recovery from all common data loss scenarios such as deletion, formatting, corruption, and malware-attack. Whether you have lost your data from your Windows PCs/laptops or storage media drives, such as HDD, SSD, USB drive, SD card, or Micro SD Card, the software has got your back!

This free data recovery software has three main data recovery modules: Everything, Documents recovery, & Multimedia file recovery.

Everything:

This module lets you select all data, including files, folders, emails, and multimedia files, from a PC/laptop or storage media drive.

Documents, Folders & Emails Recovery:

This module enables you to select any specific documents, files, or emails you want to recover.

Multimedia Files Recovery:

This module helps you to select only multimedia files, such as Photos, Audio, and Videos for recovery.

How to Recover Data using Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition?

Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition comes with an intuitive interface. This DIY data recovery software is so easy-to-use that even a person with no technical expertise can navigate the interface and use all the features. However, an installation guide is available on the site to help in case of any query.

Caution: Remember, you have to immediately stop using the drive from which you have lost the data to make data recovery successful. If you keep using the drive and adding new data to it, you will end up overwriting the existing data. And the chances to retrieve overwritten data, even with a data recovery software's help, are minimal.

To recover lost or deleted data, follow the given steps:

a. Download, install and run Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition.

b. The software interface will show up on the PC screen.
c. Select ‘Everything’ or type of data you want to recover, such as Documents, Folders, Emails, or Multimedia Files from the ‘Select What to Recover’ screen, and click Next. (See Image 1)

d. From the ‘Recover from’ screen, select the drive or location from where you lost the data and click Scan. (See Image 2) This will initiate the scanning process.

e. After the scanning process, select the files you want to retrieve. You may also preview the files. Once satisfied with the results, click Recover. (See Image 3)

f. Click ‘Browse’ to choose the location and then click ‘Start-Saving’ to store the recovered files. (See Image 4)

Note: You can save up to 1 GB of data using this free data recovery software. To recover unlimited data, try Stellar Data Recovery Standard version.

[Caution: Always use a different storage location or drive to store the recovered files to prevent data overwriting.]

Why Choose Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition?

Experience Matters:

Stellar Data Recovery, a renowned data care brand, has developed this DIY data recovery software, catering to users' data recovery requirements since 1993. Having more than 3 million happy customers around 172 countries exemplifies the software and the brand’s trustworthiness.

Virus Free:

Before downloading any software, the users want to know if the software is safe to download. Several free data recovery tools are available to download, but users may get malware with some of those tools. However, we assure you that Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition is free from any virus and is entirely safe to download.

I am surprised to see that in 2016, we still get something which is free of cost. As the technology improves day by day, chances of getting something becomes narrower. I am impressed with this software that we can get it at free of cost to recover our data. Thanks for the post.

I have a “WD My Passport Ultra” 1 TB hard drive and it worked great for the past three years. But, from last three days it was creating a weird sound which was making me tensed. So, I decided to replace the drive and transfer my data to the new hard disk. Today, when I connect my hard drive to transfer data into new drive it became inaccessible. The drive was appearing in the system only, but I was not able to access it. Now, I want to know whether this software can retrieve my data from inaccessible hard disk or not.

Hi Jyoti,

I want to know if I download a free version of this software then what benefits I will get. Is the free version only allowing to scan the hard drive and preview our lost data or is there any other hidden benefits available? Please let me know.

    Hi Jyoti,
    
    I have tried this software to recover my data from a Toshiba hard drive. It is showing whole tree structure as it is as it was before. When i select the JPG file from recovered data it doesn’t show the preview. I have saved it to my computer and then tried to open it with all the software used to view jpg file but it says the file format is not supported. I have even tried photoshop to open that but it didn’t worked. Is there anything i need to do before saving the recovered data? Please help me.

    Hello Hardik,
    
    We would like to inform you that data recovery is dependent on factors like data loss reason, severity of corruption, overwritten activity etc. The software works on “what you see is what you can recover”. That means the files will be recovered in the same manner as you were able to see them in the preview window after the scanning is complete. If the preview of JPEG files are available, then recovery is certainly possible else not

I have Toshiba external hard drive which I haven’t used for awhile, but now when today morning I connect it to my system it shows the drive empty. However, the drive has my years of data but now it is empty. Can anyone tell me what is the reason behind this?

  Hi, I believe your hard drive health is not okay, and it requires repairing command. Also, I want to know that have you tried a check disk command to detect the issue in an external hard drive? If not, then try it first. Check disk command is very useful to identify and troubleshoot the hard drive issues. If check disk command doesn’t work for you, then download the above data recovery software to get your data back.

  Hi Khalid,
  
  Thanks for writing to us.
  
  Please let us know if your Mac’s Disk Utility is showing up your hard drive? Stellar Mac Data Recovery application will display, scan and recover those hard drives which show up in the Disk Utility (either in active or inactive mode). Hard Drives not appearing in the Disk Utility will not be shown in software’s interface for data recovery. This is because the hard drives get physically damaged and go unrecognised and no data recovery software can recover a physically damaged storage media.
  
  Hope this helps!!

Hi, my hard drive is turned into RAW form, I tried check disk command to repair that drive but received an error message that CHKDSK is not available for the RAW drive. Can you please suggest me what I can do now?

  Hello, sometimes it happens when a CHKDSK command doesn’t read the RAW hard drive and shows the error message like this. I would recommend you first to use the data recovery software mentioned above to recover your data, and then format your hard drive and create a new volume.
  
  Good Luck!!

Hi, I have downloaded this software on my system and it worked successfully to recover my data from 2 TB external hard drive. But, the software is allowing to save only 1 Gb data at free cost. But, I want to save my recovered data more than 1 GB, can you please tell me if it is possible?
