NTFS stands for “New Technology File System”. It was developed by Microsoft Corporation and is mainly used in Windows systems. Each and every system that uses Windows OS will have an NTFS formatted disk. These disks can be mounted as “read-only disks” by Mac OS. Using 3rd party software, it is allowed to read or write NTFS disks. If your NTFS disk has got corrupted and you need to access the data on it, then you need to perform proper steps.
Preparing for data recovery from an NTFS disk
The formatted disk with NTFS partition that you are trying to recover  should be in good condition and cables should be properly connected. It is required that one should find specialized services of a reliable and professional data recovery. Your "do it yourself" data recovery attempts can actually degrade the possibilities of recovering the data if the disk has got an acute physical malfunction.
Set up files on the drive and make initial folder structure
Prepare a test disk that contains user files that may be present on an external NTFS disk, or scattered over a specific folder structure. Once you set up files, you should perform a disk reformat with the help of a Disk Management tool. On doing this, your disk will appear totally blank.
Prepare a storage:
Prior beginning the process, you need to create a storage place that is large enough to accumulate all recovered files. This storage place can be any disk that is visible by the OS that includes an external drive or a network drive. Don’t save the files on the disk from which you are planning to recover the files.
Install a data recovery software
You can buy and install a data recovery software on your system to perform the essential data recovery tasks. This software can help you install a maximum number of lost files on your disk. You need to use the quickest interface available: the SATA ports, or USB 3.0. USB 2.0 ports are considered to be slow when it comes to recovering data from a damaged disk. Double click on the software icon and locate the location of reformatted disk and the place where you wish to store all your recovered files.
Scan the re-formatted disk
It is advised to scan the re-formatted disk, to find out any errors before performing the recovery job.
Use extra search feature
You can use the “extra search” utility to select different “file types” that you have resided on the deleted disk and you want to recover.  Once the scan is completed, you can view “Scan results” to find out what files were infected and got recovered.
