Recovered all the lost files
DrConspiracyApril 9, 2014
Pros
1. Intuitive user interface is simple to use 2. Found all the deleted files 3. Showed which ones were intact and which were lost 4. Simple recovery to another location. There is no need to write on media being recovered.
Cons
None that I've found.
Summary
I had already tried one undelete program that said I had no deleted files. FreeUndelete 2.1 found all 72 files inadvertently deleted from camera media in just a few seconds, saving some important family moments. My friend who got her photos back called me a "marvel," but it was the program that deserved that title.
Didn't work for me

Summary
I deleted 10 photos by accident, I tried downloading other sponsored but limited versions and none worked on large photos. This one did. Fast. Easy. No cost. Can't ask for more
couldn't ask for more simple

Pros
I like the simplicity of the program.
Cons
really can't think of anything. Can't ask for better at the price.
Summary

Pros
i was able to get all my pics back in no time at all
Cons
i love everything about it
Summary
Works great with a little patience
scoparchJanuary 19, 2010
Pros
Worked fine, but: The files I searched for were there, although the names had changed (?!) , but referring to the date created, I was able to recover them and rename them and use them again!
Cons
I had to open some of the folder trees a couple of times to get all of the files to appear. So when a folder shows no contents, close it, go up the tree a bit and then reopen the desired folder. Second and sometimes third time is a charm
Summary
As said below, you get what you DON'T PAY for. so a little patience is required. But chances are, if you are are willing to play a little Sherlock Holmes, you will find what you are looking for. I will recommend this application to all my friends. BTW. so far I haven't experienced any Mal-Spy-or Adware. Although I would run those scans just to be sure.
Free option for recovery of deleted files
fuzzballnzNovember 11, 2008
Pros
FREE!!! Small download. Easy Install, Fast scan of 100Gb Partition. 20mins from installing and running of program to recover 4GB of data. Recovered .txt .jpg .pdf .html OK. Liked how it did not have to be run from bootable media.
Cons
The Media files it recovered were either unreadable or they were files that were not the ones requested. No status bar to indicate progress of recovery. Would be nice to know if destination drive had sufficent space for recovery.
Summary
I got what I DID'NT pay for. Luckly the media files I recovered were not important. Was more interested in the non media files I recovered sucessfully. Not sure if the recover process was affected by the 1st attempt at recovery which got stopped because of lack of space on the destination drive. Not sure if you could use this software on a drive/partition that had deleted files it it. Probably best in those cases where the files to be recovered are from the boot drive/partition, to go with an application that boots from media. Overall I am happy with the software, was just lucky that the media files were not important.
Poor, buggy
Jimar6158March 16, 2008
Pros
nothing good... just another untested, poorly written piece of junk(not software)
Cons
Wasted my time... really is CRAP
Summary
found a folder, but not files that several other "undelete" programs found
frodotimNovember 14, 2007
Pros
couldn't be easier to use
Cons
didn't get the files I was looking for (but so far neither have the other programs I've tried, but they found a number of more files than this program
Summary
I think it's good enough for few files recovery.

Pros
For a free software, it's performance is good.
Cons
I found mass work recovery complicated, but doable.
