If you accidentally delete a file, you can usually find it quickly by opening your trash can or Recycle Bin, but once you have emptied these locations the files are a lot more difficult to retrieve. On your computer, the recycle or trash bin is a temporary folder for deleted files. These files are still recoverable and, even after they have been removed from the trash or the recycling bin, remain on your computer until being overwritten by new data. These hidden files can be found with the right technology.
Rather than deleting unwanted files, your computer system removes the files address and identifies the space that it is in as empty. Therefore, the file is still on your system, even if you can’t see it, until you write over it by saving something else in the same space.
. I can also imagine many of you who still have it laying around becuase you have bought yourself the lastest generation iPod, and don’t need the 1st gen. any more. Well, you should know that, like any mp3 player, the iPod is basically a storage device.
I’m sure you have the cable that still connects it to your computer, and this is all you need to use the device as storage or data recovery drive. Simply, plug it into your computer, go to my computer and clear all of the devices content. Then, re-format it so that the drive is given a completely new slate.
Now that you have done this, all is well. Now you just need to go to your data recovery program and set the location of your recovery to your iPod. (It will now be a local drive such as drive I: or something to this accord)
The best part about this kind of data recovery is that the iPods are decently reliable. I’ve had my iPod for about 3 years now, and not once have I had a reading failure.
So there it is, I’ll put this up on the table and walk away. The rest is up to you: take it or leave it.
