Version: BadCopy Pro 4.10.1215
"Worked as on CD that CDROM drive would not even read"
Pros: Worked as described

Version: BadCopy Pro 4.10.1215
Pros: It let me preview before buying to see that it wasn't going to retrieve anything.
Cons: I had taken over 600 pictures during a week with teens running through "challenge courses". When I went to download the pictures, I had just over 200. The others were gone.
I first downloaded and tried BadCopy, but it didn't retrieve any files that I couldn't already see.
Then I downloaded and installed CardRecovery. As far as I can tell, it recovered all my pictures, so I bought CardRecovery and was happy with the way it worked.
Try CardRecovery first.

Version: BadCopy Pro 4.10.1215
"Excellent: Recovered file other software couldn't read."
Pros: Trial version successfully recovered mp3 file on SD memory card that was corrupted due to digital recorder being switched off before save complete. Windows XP reported "File Corrupted", when opened by most programs. Others said it was empty.
Cons: Large files (including 1 hour MP3 file I recovered) cannot be previewed on trial version. Although it indicated it had successfully recovered file, I had to pay for full version without proof it worked. Very glad I did, as the content was fine.
Summary: Even if I never use it again, Badcopy Pro was worth the registration money for recovering the 1 hour audio recording that other programs had failed to recover. Very impressed on the basis of this single use.

Version: BadCopy Pro 4.10.1215
"Found some files, but did not find all"
Pros: Recovers a wide range of file types (no XLSX though)
Cons: Does not maintain file names or folder structure.
Summary: I had a 8gb flash drive that became corrupted and which Windows prompted to Format if I tried to access it. BadCopy found about 2300 files, but when it recovers them it does not keep their filename, or any folder structure. So it was a partial suc... read more >>
