Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4
"it says windows xp, but it doesn't setup for xp, haven't tried another o.s."
Pros: it wouldn't set up. used a download manager to ensure the download. based on other user comments, i confirm something is amiss.
Cons: can't evaluate it if i couldn't run it. i guess what i didn't like is that it wouldn't set up / run.

Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 3.0
"Better than some expensive ones. Free is good"
Pros: This Puppy scoped out my screwed up Maxtor 250 in less than a minute. In another few minutes I was recovering AVI's and MPEG's.Good transfer rate too.It was easy to use.It is free to try. I had tried a premium recovery program that took 2 days to locate and map 10% of the data before grinding to a halt. It then demanded $69 to attempt to extract the files. I bailed.PC Inspector got them in half an hour.
Cons: The only drawback is that there was one file that caused it to hang. I had to terminate the process and restart the whole thing over again after the file but the program worked so fast that it only cost me 5 minutes.

Version: PC Inspector File Recovery 4
"POC... Poor for Large DBs and Media Player Libraries"
Pros: Nothing!!!!
Cons: Large (65gb) DBs or Media Player files (wma, mp3, ini, etc), a --?pile of code (you know what I mean)?. Scan required, 4.5 hours/Recovery was ?STOPPED?, after 8 days/7 nights(no choice) running. When stopped, MUSIC FILES WOULD NOT PLAY!!! Error messages suggested an error relative to licenses, format was changed! All files played prior to the recovery. The Usability is worsted of programs available. During scan/recovery, the ?Time Remaining? indicator gives a random number! In Recovery, the indicator runs, then, restarts at a large number, 71,582,000 min./135 years(+/-)!! During recovery, ?Single choice, meaningless? messages, would ?stop? the recovery. ?OK?, required to continue!!! A meaningless option when the code runs continuously, NON-STOP and one options available. File recovery is slower than the original RIP!! Other problems are present in file recovery when ?time indicator? changes, but would require more effort than this POC is worth!!! CRAP is a better label. Stay away from from this one for large DBs and for Media Player Music Libraries
