CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This recovery tool capably finds lost files even on spanned and stripped volumes. The application worked well in our testing, finding not only recently deleted files, but also items without a name or path. File Scavenger has a straightforward interface that lets you execute all operations without going to the main menu. You can restrict searches by defining disk sectors and filename masks. Found items are displayed as a list or in a folder tree. File Scavenger recovers not only files, but also folders when it can so you won't have to arrange thousands of files manually. It doesn't have a built-in file viewer. The program doesn't take many resources and can easily run in the background. The major drawback is that it can't run without Windows. If you have multiple volumes on a Windows computer, File Scavenger seems well worth the download.Publisher's description
From QueTek Consulting :File Scavenger is a file-undelete and data-recovery utility. Files accidentally deleted from Windows Explorer, the Recycle Bin, the command line window, or a network share can be recovered along with the original folder name and dates. Reformatted volumes, broken spanned volumes, or broken hardware and software RAID volumes also can be recovered. Digital photos on almost all media can be recovered.

Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
Pros: It helped me get back most of my files lost during the disk crash. Though there's still some files missing, I feel it is already the best it can do.
Cons: The price is high
-
Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
Pros: It recovers files that are under 64kb, so you can save as many pictures as you want on your computer.
Cons: some of the pictures it 'recovers' are incomplete. Most of mine were incomplete.
Summary: A lot of other programs work better, but you have to pay a lot of money for them. Try this before you pay for something.

Version: File Scavenger Data Recovery Utility 3.2
"Buy MagiCure for a about the same, get lots more!!!"
Pros: It does what it says
Cons: Excessive price. It makes no sense to pay for this type of software so much. My MagiCure can do that but much more: Magicure can recover files, images, music, software errors, windows and registry problems, defective definitions and more?
Summary: This product works as claimed. There are products out there that have the same feature as only one part of their package. You can get more for the same money.
