    Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4

    Pros

    FREE!
    It works well!

    Cons

    Not exactly the most user friendly program.

    Summary

    I never had any problems recovering any lost files with this proogram. Yes I did try to recover some deleted pictures off of my digital cameras memory(Deleted but not reformatted) and I've had some success with it finding some pictures but 1 downfall, the picture that I wanted the most may have been overwritten. If the data is there this program will find it. Networked drives don't allow for any deletion recovery remotely if you want something advanced. Local Hard drive connection to the PC that you are running this program on will work.(ex. IDE/SATA/USB << all that I have tested so far)

    "Wonderful !"

    Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4

    Pros

    I erased by accident a 400 MB job folder on my flash drive, it was a very important . I recovered all 400 MB in 5 minutes and for free!!! Great software!

    Cons

    A little bit tricky to make it work, that is why in some reviews some people complain that it does not do anything. It is not user friendly but it does the job! Other file recovery programs might have a friendlier interface but cost up to $ 50.

    Summary

    I am very happy this program saved me from having problems in my job! THANK YOU!
    It does the job! You just have to understand how it works! You do not need to pay $ 50 for a fancy file recovery software.

    "Fantastic!"

    July 1, 2010  |   By supersophe

    Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4

    Pros

    This was the second free program I downloaded to recover data - the first one found 5 (!) files and this one found more than 400! Couldn't be happier - my friend who had a damaged minidisk is jumping with joy at having recovered all her photos.

    Cons

    Only defect, when it finds a file it doesn't like while saving and gives the error message the whole program freezes up (I'm on XP) and you have to close it down and start the scan again - but well worth the final result anyway.

    "Easy to use"

    May 16, 2010  |   By peregrins2

    Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4

    Pros

    The set up was fast and the onscreen directions were easy to follow

    Cons

    There was nothing to dislike because I wasn't able to fully use the software, but it wasn't the software's fault.

    Summary

    My hard drive's crash was not recoverable by any software...I took it into a pro so I know it's beyond this type of help.

    "Absolutely wortheless, please remove this joke."

    May 10, 2010  |   By Jonah Johansen

    Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4

    Pros

    NADA,nothing

    Cons

    Does not work. After hours and hours of pretending to be doing something you end up with worthless list of 'clusters' If what you want is to read hexadecimal characters congratulations. If what you wanted was your docs or images bend over

    Summary

    I wish there was away of suing these punks who upload these faux programs.
    These faux programs are free only if your time is worth nothing.

    NOTE: If I could have used the F-word and not have my post pulled every sentence would have had at least two F-words in it.
