Accidentally deleted your files? GetDataBack Data Recovery can track them down--for a price. It even works with corrupted drives and those not recognized by Windows. This version only recovers files from NTFS drives, but it does offer a search tool for quickly locating a file by its date, name, or size.
If you suspect your actual disk is about to bite the dust, you can create a drive image to use during recovery. The utility can't make rescue discs, however, so if you want to do that, you'll need to build yourself a bootable Windows PE disc and add GetDataBack Data Recovery to it--the publisher's Web site has instructions.
Although the application proves quite adept at locating deleted files, and you can view their contents, the demo won't recover them. We can't vouch for how well this core feature works. GetDataBack Data Recovery seems worth trying, but if you actually want to recover any lost work, this demo won't do you much good.
Publisher's description
From Runtime Software :GetDataBack is highly advanced data-recovery software that will help you to get your data back when your drive's partition table, boot record, Master File Table, or root directory is corrupted or lost, when a virus hits the drive, when files have been deleted, when the drive has been formatted, or when the drive has been struck by a power failure. GetDataBack can even recover your data when the drive is no longer recognized by the operating system or not only the root directory but all directory information is lost. Advanced algorithms will make sure all directories and subdirectories are put together as they were, and that long filenames are reconstructed correctly. GetDataBack is safe because it's read-only, which means the program will never attempt to write to the drive you're about to recover.

Version: GetDataBack for NTFS 4.0
Pros: WORKS GREAT. Costs $80, a bargain IMO. Easy to install, setup, lots of options but restored all deleted files (thousands of 'em) with default settings. Great cust service - emailed question about license at 8 PM Sun, answer by 9 AM Mon.
Cons: No major drawbacks. Needs web access for help - I was using a borrowed PC from work to restore, didn't want to install my wireless adapter. Not a big problem, since the interface is intutive and gives you step by step instructions.
Summary: Can't believe other reviewers are complaining that this isn't freeware. Incredible.
Love that you can scan the trashed drive w/ free version and see what you can get back BEFORE YOU BUY. My son's HP PC was infected with one of the false secur... read more >> -
Version: GetDataBack for NTFS 4.0
Pros: There is nothing to like.
Cons: DOESN'T WORK. This garbage software isn't free at all. You download and run it for free, but to get your files back, you'll have to pay $60. That is IF you can get your files back. The software doesn't work. The customer service is trash. Good luck.
