We’ve all been there before: You are working on your computer and all of sudden for no reason the computer shuts itself down and won’t power back on. Then there are times we accidently delete a file we did not intend to and worry it is lost forever.
Fortunately, with either of these situations, your data may not be permanently lost. The most important thing to do is to stop using the computer until you can troubleshoot and diagnose what went wrong. Deleted data is not always permanently gone right away. However, it could be lost if it gets written over.
Scenario 1: The Computer Crashed
To see if your data is still there, you will need access to another computer. You can obtain a universal drive adapter kit to plug the hard drive into the working computer. Your goal is to attempt to access the data on the drive. If you can see your data, you should copy and transfer it to the working computer or cloud storage immediately.
