Answer:
No, to avoid overwriting the deleted data, it is strongly recommended
not to write or save any data to the drive with the deleted data.
This includes downloading any files or programs (including FinalData),
uncompressing and installing programs to the affected drive.
We recommend using one of the following three options to avoid this issue:
- Use an alternate drive: If
there is another hard drive present in your system (for example,
drive D:), use it as the destination drive for downloading the
setup file, and installing FinalData.
- Use a CD-R drive: For
this step you will need a second system with a CD-R drive. See
the below procedures.
- Attach the affected drive to a different
system: Physically remove the affected drive (from system
A), attach it to another computer (system B),
with preferably the same operating system, and enough disk space
to hold all your recovered data. Download, install and run the FinalData
application on the hard drive of the second computer (system B).
By default, FinalData prevents you from saving the recovered data
to the same drive, so you will need to recover the data to the hard
drive of system B.
