How to Recover Lost Files in Windows 7?
Windows 7 is one of the prominent operating systems in the Windows family of operating systems. There are various advanced features and several enhancements available in Windows 7 compared to Windows Vista. It is available in three different versions namely, the Home Premium version, the Professional version and the Windows 7 Ultimate version. The three versions are designed to suit specific sections of users and are priced accordingly.
There are a few advanced and unique features which make Windows 7 stand out among other OS. The features can be summarized as follows,
- Windows 7 provides better sharing options for multiple PC's on the Home network. It lets you share files, photos, music and all other data easily within the users in the HomeGroup.

- Open the recently used files quickly and easily by making use of the Jump lists option.
- Windows 7 also provides options for scheduling Backups and restoring data on a regular basis.
Though Windows 7 provides such advanced and highly useful features, there are scenarios in which the operating system fails, resulting in loss of data. If the error is related to system files, it can be fixed using an in-built repair tool called the System Restore that comes with the Windows 7 installation disc. You can use the Startup Repair tool by following the steps given below,
- Boot your PC to the System Recovery Options screen.
- From the System Recovery Options screen, choose the Startup Repair option.
- Once you select the Startup Repair option, the Startup Repair tool scans your PC completely and tries to fix any errors related to the startup of your PC.
- If any problems are detected, they are displayed in the window, and if no errors are detected it displays a message that states that no errors have been detected.
The disadvantage of this tool is that it can only repair errors relating to system startup. It cannot repair or recover lost or deleted files and partitions.
