CNET Editors' review
This application can easily retrieve lost or deleted files on your hard drive, but the trial version only permits you to save one item. MediaRecover Pro's well-designed, intuitive interface offers a three-step process for recovering files that's easy enough for the novice to follow. You select a drive, then select All Files or specify a file type and go to the final step. The scan begins immediately, and results are displayed with name, location, size, type, and modification date. You can sort results by any column and tick the check box for files you want to save. Though you can only save the first item found using the demo version, it was quickly restored in our tests. The program also includes Format and Wipe tools to help you access or erase memory sticks. Despite the trial restriction, MediaRecover proves to be a user-friendly way to restore files that should suit the novice or the expert.

"Doesn't do Mini-disc (camcorder)"
Version: MediaRecover Pro 3.1
Pros
Wasn't able to use.
Cons
It can't read my DVD RAM mini-disc from my camcorder. I highly recommend CDCheck for this.

"Found my pictures and office files"
Version: MediaRecover Pro 3.1
Pros
Accidentally lost files from my hard drive. MediaRECOVER PRO was the best solution I found on Download.com. Easy to follow recovery instructions...just sit back and let it work for you.
Cons
Had 1 issue with activating the product. It was quickly fixed.

"This one did the trick!"
Version: MediaRecover Pro 3.1
Summary
I agree with previous reviewer - it would only recover one file to prove what it could do. In this case, I have tried other approaches to no avail, and was ready to toss my 128 Mbyte SSFDC, but I decided to give this one a try after reading some testimonials on the web (mind you, not those posted by the company). Viola! My files were recovered (not exactly quickly). Even after my camera claimed the media was unformatable - even after my windows XP said "all data will be erased - do you wish to continue" and I did - three times!
I am now going to reformat the card and hope (fingers crossed) that it will be recognized once again by my camera. -
"useless demo"
Version: MediaRecover Pro 3.1
Summary
cannot save allegedly recovered files, so cannot tell what, if anything, is really recovered or how well recovery works.
