Version: File Scavenger 3.1
"Recovered all data from RAID 0 Drives with bad sectors."
Pros: This is an awesome piece of software that saved the day! I was able to recover data from two 80 GB drives. The drives had been configured in a RAID 0 array until one of the drives grew some bad sectors.

Version: File Scavenger 3.1
"Amazing data recovery tool for corrupt and damaged drives."
Pros: A server that had just been loaded with some very important files would not boot. I repaired the boot sector, but then it would not start Windows XP in safe or any other mode, and would restart the system after a couple seconds of trying. After a few attempts at using emergency disks, I moved it to a working system to try recovery tools. The disk and its directory had become so corrupted that the disk reported to different utilities as being not present, not formatted, not readable, physically damaged, etc. Nothing would work, not a single file was recoverable .
I called Ontrak for an authorization to send the disk in or to try online recovery, expecting to pay $350 or more. While I was waiting for a call back I Googled �NTFS recovery� and saw File Scavenger 3.1. Since I had little to lose I downloaded the demo and ran it. To my amazement a list of 147,000 files appeared in just a few seconds. Skeptical, I recovered several and opened them, all were 100% in tact (about 90% of the files on the disk were marked as recoverable). So I paid the $49 for the program and recovered all the files I needed.
File Scavenger was amazing. It recovered files that other popular programs could not even recognize, at a cost far less than data recovery specialists charge. I highly recommend that everyone with a logically dead drive that still operates to download File Scavenger to another disk in the computer, and give it a try before spending money on expensive services.
