File Recovery
Using any freeware or trialware, recover deleted files from a Windows computer. This can be a lab computer or your own computer. The best way to do this is use a thumb drive. Delete some files from it then run a recovery tool.
Explain what you did and what tool was used. Then answer the following questions:
Did the tool recover the deleted files?
What other files were recovered, if any?
How does data recovery differ from computer forensics?
What purpose do data recovery tools serve in computer forensic investigations?
Are data recovery tools forensics? Why or why not?
