Fast Fixes with BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard — Step-by-Step TutorialLosing files from a USB pen drive — whether due to accidental deletion, formatting, corruption, or virus attacks — can be stressful. BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard is a specialized utility designed to restore deleted or inaccessible files from USB flash drives, pen drives, and other removable media. This step-by-step tutorial walks you through how to use the software effectively, explains its main features, offers troubleshooting tips, and provides best practices to maximize your recovery chances.

What BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard does

BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard scans removable drives and recovers files that have been accidentally deleted, lost through formatting, or hidden by malware. It supports a wide range of file types (documents, photos, videos, audio, archives, emails) and common file systems such as FAT, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS. The tool offers both quick and deep scan modes, preview capabilities, and selective saving of recovered items.

Key points:

• Recover deleted, formatted, and corrupted files from pen drives and USB storage.
• Supports multiple file systems including FAT, FAT32, exFAT, and NTFS.
• Preview recovered files before saving them.
• Selective recovery lets you save only the files you need.

System requirements and preparations

Before starting, ensure your computer meets the software’s system requirements (typically Windows 10/8/7 and sufficient free disk space). Also follow these preparatory steps:

1. Stop using the affected pen drive immediately to avoid overwriting lost data.
2. Use another storage device to save recovered files — never save them back to the same pen drive during recovery.
3. Download BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard from the official source and install it on your computer (not on the pen drive).
4. Have a reliable USB port and cable; connect the pen drive directly to the computer (avoid hubs).

Step-by-step tutorial

1. Install and launch the software

   • Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. Open BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard after installation.

2. Connect and select the pen drive

   • Insert the affected pen drive into a USB port. The software should list all connected removable storage devices. Select your pen drive from the list.

3. Choose a scan mode

   • Quick Scan: Faster, for recently deleted files.
   • Deep/Full Scan: Thorough, for formatted or heavily corrupted drives.
   • Select the appropriate scan type based on your situation.

4. Start the scan

   • Click the Scan button. The program will analyze the drive. Progress and estimated time will be shown.

5. Preview found files

   • Once the scan completes, browse the recovered items grouped by file type or folder structure. Use the built-in preview to verify files (photos, documents, videos).

6. Select files to recover

   • Tick the files or folders you want to save. Use filters or search if the list is large.

7. Choose a destination and save

   • Set a save location on a different drive (not the source pen drive). Click Recover/Save to export selected items.

8. Verify recovered files

   • Open several recovered files to ensure they are intact.

Troubleshooting common issues

• No devices detected: Try different USB ports or cables; check Disk Management to see if the drive is visible; reinstall USB drivers.
• Scan hangs or crashes: Close other disk-intensive programs, restart the app, or run Deep Scan with patience (can take hours on large drives).
• Files preview not working: Save suspected files and open them with appropriate applications (e.g., VLC for video).
• Recovered files corrupted: If many files are corrupted, try a different recovery tool or professional services; partial recovery may be possible.

Tips to improve recovery success

• Act quickly — continued use increases the chance of overwriting data.
• Avoid writing new files to the pen drive.
• Use Deep Scan for formatted drives or when Quick Scan finds nothing.
• Save all recovered data to a separate drive.
• Keep regular backups to minimize future losses.

Alternatives and comparison

When to consider professional recovery

If the pen drive has physical damage (cannot be detected at all, clicking), or if recovered files are severely corrupted and critical, consult a professional data recovery service. These services can be expensive but may be the only option for physically damaged media.

Conclusion

BitRecover Pen Drive Recovery Wizard is a practical tool for users needing to recover lost files from USB drives. By stopping drive use immediately, choosing the right scan mode, and saving recovered files to a separate drive, you maximize your chances of successful recovery. For physically damaged devices or critical data, consider professional help.
