MacBook broken or hard drive corruption can be the most horrible problem for you. You cannot use your MacBook anymore and you’re assuming that all data on your MacBook hard drive might be lost. But is this the on truth? The answer is absolutely no. You still have chance to restore data from MacBook hard drive, even if you can’t reboot your MacBook.

Why the Deleted Data Can Be Recovered

Yes, the data can be recovered, but do you know why? Here brings you the answer so that you could learn a lot of this kind of knowledge.

Usually, only one delete command even formatted the Mac hard drive or storage device wont make files disappear completely from machine. The files are still there in the machine just marked as free space to be overwritten. If you keep putting something into it, the new data may take over the space where your precious deleted files stored. Once overwritten, its impossible to recover lost files. Thats the reason why you should do the first thing first. So as is clear to us, as long as your lost files are not written over by new data, you can definitely achieve file recovery on the tiny piece of your machine.

Now you learn the reasons why the lost files can still be recovered, let’s get into the next step-recovery process.
