How to recover data from the hard drive?

I've always heard that data is never really gone from the hard drive even after you delete it. How do I recover that data? My problem is some photos (my honeymoon photos) have been deleted from my computer and they have also been deleted from the recycle bin. I sure would like to recover them.How to recover data from the hard drive?
This tool can help you to recover your damaged images:

Yes, data remains behind when you delete it, even from recycle. But windows then makes deleted filespace available for writing, and the more you use the system, the more of this data gets overwritten and permanently lost.





So first off, you want to STOP using the harddrive that has the material you want saved. Unplug the harddrive, remove it, whatever, and let someone who knows what they're doing try recovering data. There are programs such as ';Recuva'; and ';@active recovery'; that will accomplish such things.
Shouldn't be a problem, just read this carefully to avoid making mistakes that make the situation worse....





You can often successfully recover deleted photos from a PC, camera memory card or USB Memory stick, it just depends on what鈥檚 happened since the photos were deleted.





When you delete photos the data itself isn鈥檛 deleted, just the index entry that says where the data for those files is located. The space containing the deleted photos is also now marked as free space so it is available to the system for any new files to be written there instead.





If and when that happens, then it becomes too late to recover your deleted photos so it is very, very important to not save any new files or data to the device concerned.





If the deleted photos are on your PC, use another PC to browse the internet for a solution as internet browsing causes lots of temporary files to get written to the disk. Download any photo recovery software, for example, to a memory stick, plug that in the computer with the deleted photos and run it from there.





If the deleted photos are on a memory card or USB memory stick, just don鈥檛 save any new files to it.





One of the easiest ways to see if you can recover deleted photos is to try some photo recovery software. There are many such products available, both commercial and free 鈥?also of varying quality!





A good tip is to try the free demo version of a good commercial product that will scan the device for deleted photos and show you exactly what photos can be recovered. At least that will show you if you can recover the deleted photos at all or if it鈥檚 too late already. You can find more useful information on photo recovery at http://www.recoverdeletedpictures.com
it's not easy, and does as I understand it, require special equipment. I don't know if commercially available data recovery services make this type of recovery available, but I would expect it to be expensive. And of course I'd expect some government and perhaps even some corporate facilities to have this technology available. (And for the record this only applies to magnetic material. As I understand it, anything that's written into solid-state devices like flash drives completely overwrites the prior contents.)





So, yes, I'd currently expect it to be attempted only when there's something very valuable to be recovered.


but i am sure it will come at a cost!
there are some programs out there that you can use by yourself but some are complicated. you could try geek squad or similar place but they would charge between $100-$300 dollars
