Publisher's Description
From A-FF Labs:
When you delete a file, its content physically remains intact on the media, but the occupied space becomes marked as free. Next file saved to the disk may overwrite the contents of the deleted file. It is very important to make sure that no application writes to the drive or partition where deleted file is located since every new file (even a small one) may overwrite the deleted file. NTFS Undelete is free software that allows you to recover deleted files. It recovers files directly from hard drive, and it will work even if you empty Recycle Bin.

"Con - don't waste your time"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
None, there are many file recover tools you can pay for - I wouldn't trust a company that cons users.
Cons
Leads you to believe it's free and you waste your time installing and selecting files before it blocks you from actually recovering until you pay them.
It also blocks you from closing down the program when you realise it's a pay only con. Need to shut it down in task manager.Summary
Buy from an honest vendor or use something free like http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva - working well so far.

"Good but NOT FREE!"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
Undeletes very well, even hard to find files.
Cons
Free until you want to undelete. Then its $40. Please correct this cnet.
Summary
Good but NOT FREE!

"Don't waste your money."
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
None. I wonder who writes all the positive reviews above ;-)
Cons
Freeware/trial version indicated 1000s of recoverable files (files were detected to be in "excellent" state. After buying the full version, the files were apparently restored ok, but in every case the file was corrupted.
Customer support says the program works as expected. OK, if you expect that it does not work, that is.Summary
Feeling cheated.

"Does good job, but slower than a tortoise."
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
It does undelete files, and accurately from what I can tell.
Cons
1. Slow as a tortoise. I expected it to be very quick (they claim it is), but it is VERY slow. I had some 3000 files to undelete in a folder structure. It will be way faster to restore them from backups.
2. I went to get a refund because I was not pleased with the speed. Their policy says "No refunds". Their excuse is you can try the trial version for free, which does not undelete.Summary
Not worth the money. To many other programs out there that do the job just as well a lot cheaper.
Refund policy is unacceptable. -
"Best File Recovery Application"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
It took less than 2 minutes to locate and recover the photo I accidently deleted. Was quite sure what folder to scan, but the support FAQs were great.
Cons
None. NTFSUndelete worked. What's to complain about?
Summary
If you have deleted a file, trust NTFSUndelete. Save me today....

"Defective product, ignored emails, refused refund"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
none that I can see
Cons
no customer support, they ignored me for a week until I suggested I get my bank involved.
Summary
If you have a problem, don't count on any support. They 'lose' emails or claim you did nto send them while you are nice and only respond when your bank or other organizations get involved.
I have downloaded 3 times, tried to install numerous times, and all it does is crash. I have purchased another product as I needed the ability to recover files during the time they ignored my inquiries. They have refused to refund, stating it is a non refundable product, though their terms state that refunds are given for defects. -
"OUTSTANDING! One of few softwares that actually work!"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
I've used paid-for undeleters before that were not very impressive, this one stands out. I didn't run it until about 2 weeks after the accidental deletion of all my document files, this baby found them and broiught them back within a few minutes!
Cons
Most of the documents and files in the undelted folder will not open for some reason, Adobe and other opening programs all tell me that the documents are either an unrecognized format, or are corrupted. Any advice?
Summary
I can't believe this product is free, in my opinion it's the best undeleter out there, I highly recommend it.

"Works better than programs that I have paid for!"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
Can see and recover Asian characters
Cons
Lack of filters
Summary
MS screws up and deletes the WHOLE drive instead of one file and I am left scrambling to find my old software to recover the drive. I dl several progs that want $ to recover more than 25 kb files. THIS prog recovers things exactly as they were named. EXCELLENT!!! Nothing like watching 200 Gb dissapear while you are trying to figure out what is going on.

"I can't believe it's free!"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
It took me less than five minutes to install this and set it up to recover the files I wanted.
Cons
I honestly can't find a fault.
Summary
I was a bad little geek and got lazy about my backups. After panicking a bit, I decided to give this a shot. Installation was a breeze and setup was far easier than I had imagined. In less than 5 minutes, recovery had begun. In just over an hour, it had successfully restored nearly 18000 files, including the folder structure. Simple, fast, and efficient. What else could I ask for?

"Absolutely Amazing. A real life saver!"
Version: NTFS Undelete 0.93
Pros
I accidentally deleted some very important files, and I was frantic to recover them. This program recovered every deleted file!
Cons
I could not find any problems with NTFS Undelete. I am very impressed.
Summary
I just want to say thanks to the creators of NTFS Undelete. You people Rock! I will definitely recommend this program, and I am adding it to my arsenal of utilities. you absolutely saved me from a terrible fate. Thanks again!
