Everyone of us in one time or another have ended up deleting a wrong file unintentionally. It gets worse. The there others who have hard someone else delete that much treasured photo of your last Vegas escapades. If that is not enough, you may not have actually deleted anything but you ended being a victim of disk drive failure or a failed flash storage <\/a>media drive nevertheless.<\/p>\n
