 Hello everybody! Watch this video to find out how to install Raspberry Pi OS on an ordinary computer and how to recover lost data from Raspberry Pi OS. If you are looking for an operating system for a really low-end PC, it's worth trying out Raspberry Pi OS. This is the official operating system for Raspberry Pi, and it is based on Linux OS Debian. Raspberry Pi is a small, single-board computer which offers sufficient performance for certain tasks. The Raspberry operating system includes the necessary functionality for web browsing as well as office tools and other software, and it has been redesigned to simplify its use in full appearance with the introduction of the Pixel desktop. If you don't have a Raspberry device but you'd like to bring your old computer back to life, or just wonder how this operating system works, you can easily install it on an ordinary PC. The work of any operating system can be interrupted by sudden failures, errors or accidentally removal of files, and all these can result in the loss of important data. If you encounter loss of important files from Raspberry Pi OS, the second part of this video will show you the process of recovering accidentally deleted files from Raspberry Pi. Installing Raspberry Pi on a computer is pretty easy for starters. You need to download an ISO image of this operating system from the official website. You'll need the version called Raspberry Pi Desktop. Click on the Download button to start. When the download is complete, you need to create a bootable USB drive. In Windows, there are good tools to do it, like disk imager or rushes. For such bootable drive, you need a USB stick with a capacity of at least 2 GB. Connect the stick to your PC and start creating the bootable drive. When it's ready, connect it to the computer where you plan to install the operating system and turn it on. Open the Boot menu and make the computer boot from the USB drive. Press F12 to choose your boot device. You'll see a window with several boot options, including running an operating system without installation, with saving files between sessions, and so on. Choose Graphical Install and press Enter. At the next step, choose the keyboard layout. Continue. After that, your equipment will be scanned, packages will be copied, and other automatic settings will be applied. Now you need to partition the disk. To do it in your own way, choose Manual. But I go for the first option – Guided. Use entire disk. This will remove all data from the hard disk, so you should only choose this option if the hard disk doesn't contain any important data. Click Continue. Now choose the disk where to install the operating system. Continue. Choose to write everything to one partition. All files in one partition. Hit Continue. And then click Continue one more time. Finally, click Yes to confirm it. Now wait until the operating system is installed. The system will ask you if you want to install the grab bootloader. Click Yes and then Continue. And specify the disk where the bootloader should be installed. Now the installation is complete, so remove the USB drive and click Continue to reboot. The computer will restart and you will see the welcome screen. Choose your location and create a new user. After that, restart the computer one more time and then the Raspberry PI desktop will appear. As you can see, here are the options you can access. Web browsing and Internet On the desktop, there is a web browser icon that gives you access to online search, web surfing and using online resources. Office apps Raspberry Pi OS includes a set of office applications such as a text editor, electronic spreadsheets and a presentation tool, so that you'll be able to work with various documents. Programming You can develop programs using various software languages such as Python, C++ and others with the help of an integrated development environment. Sound and Video Raspberry Pi OS lets you turn a computer into a media center for watching movies, listening to music and keeping up to date with radio news. References Access the system settings to configure various system options including its interface, network connections, updates and many other aspects. The Accessories menu provides access to files. You can manage files and folders in your PC as well as view and edit documents and multimedia files. These opportunities illustrate the wide variety of tasks and projects that can be implemented with Raspberry Pi OS, which makes it a convenient tool for education, creative activities and everyday work. Now, let's explore data recovery from Raspberry Pi OS. You might need to recover some stuff after accidental removal of files, an operating system failure when your device breaks down or in other unexpected situations. When you encounter a case of data loss, the first thing you should do is to stop writing data to a disk or memory card, and it doesn't matter what kind of device this operating system is installed on, an ordinary PC or a Raspberry gadget. This step will help you avoid overwriting the lost files and increase the chances of successful recovery. If you have a backup, it's just the right time to put it to good use and recover your files. If there is no backup, in fact, this is what happens most of the time, you'll need a specialized data recovery tool. In such situations, use Hetman Partition Recovery, which supports all popular file systems and will help you recover data lost after accidental removal, formatting, system errors and so on. To start the recovery, take the driver memory card out of the Raspberry Pi device and connect them to a Windows computer. If this is a hard disk, connect it to a setup board on the motherboard, and if it's a memory card, you'll need a card reader to access its data. Download, install and run Hetman Partition Recovery. The program will automatically scan the connected drives and display them in the main window. In the Drive Manager tab, you will see their size, file system and other properties. To start looking for the lost files, right-click on the disk and choose Open. After that, choose the scan type, Fast Scan or Full Analysis. For starters, we recommend running a Fast Scan first. It will take less time. If the Fast Scan can't find the required files, then go for Full Analysis. To do it, return to the main menu. Right-click on the disk and choose Analyze again. Full Analysis. Choose the file system type. You can uncheck the options for content of our analysis, as it will make the process go faster. However, in more complicated cases, you'll have to enable it. Click Next. When the scan is over, open the folder where the lost files used to be. The main advantage of Hetman Partition Recovery is that this recovery tool preserves original file names and folder structure, which makes the recovery process as user-friendly and convenient as possible. Besides, the program lets you preview the file contents before recovery, which helps you to make sure that you are going to recover exactly the data you've been looking for. The contents of every file is displayed in the preview window. Any files which were previously deleted are shown with the corresponding marking. Select all the files you want to restore and click the Recovery button. Specify where to save the data, choose the disk and folder, and click Recover again. When the recovery process is complete, you will see all the files in the choosing directory. Besides, Hetman Partition Recovery provides some extra options that can be very handy when it comes to recovering data. One of them is creating disk images. It lets you make an exact copy of a damaged disk or media and then run all recovery operations from such image instead of the actual device. Creating a disk image with the help of Hetman Partition Recovery offers an extra level of protection for your data. If you encounter a situation when the disk of media have been damaged physically and direct recovery can be risky, creating a disk image lets you work with a copy of the data and thus minimize the risk of causing additional damage. To save a disk image, right-click on the disk and choose Save Disk. When the disk image is saved, you recover the data from such image. To upload an image into the program, click Tools, Mount Disk. This way, Hetman Partition Recovery doesn't just provide effective data recovery methods, but also offer tools to create disk images which improve safety and confidence when dealing with important data. Summing up, now you know how to bring an old computer back to life. And if any important files are lost from Raspberry PiOS, Hetman Partition Recovery will help you to get them back. It doesn't matter if the files were deleted by mistake, corrupted or lost after a system error. This tool will help you to recover valuable information and minimize the risk of data loss.
