    "A life saver!"

    July 15, 2008  |   By razorcat70

    Version: TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9

    Pros

    Quickly found my lost partition and restored perfectly....And it was free. It just doesn't get any better than that!

    Cons

    No pretty interface, but compared to how it performs and the price, that's not a concern at all.

    Summary

    My internal hard drive was failing, so I verified that I had all important files backed up to an external hard drive (music, financial stuff, tax info, and years and years worth of irreplacable family photos). Then like a big doofus, I promptly deleted the partitions of both the internal and external drive. I couldn't bear the thought of losing all that data, especially the photos. I found this software and gave it a try. Within a couple of minutes, I had every lost file back. A huge thanks to the writers of this software. I've never left a review here before, but felt compelled to after using this software.

    "bit complicated but effective software"

    May 30, 2008  |   By kemo_uk

    Version: TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9

    Pros

    1-)first of all my (avira) anti-virus prog rejected the prog download due to "virus" found!? I ignored and downloaded. Installation complicated; program works in MS-DOS mode. or at least this was what I could... Other software I downloaded were recognizing the lost partitions but asking hefty money for recovery. Indedd I paid and purchased a program called "Recover Data for FAT & NTFS" which was useless for me; I wasted my money.

    Then I installed this program. I belive everybody has a diffrent type problem but my external usb hard disk first partitioned then one partition converted from FAT32 to NTFS and then both partitions merged to one disk, then of course all data deleted etc etc...This program found the lost partitions, then reverted from FAT32 to NTFS; so I could manage retrive all data back. All done within a few hours -disk was 120 gig-(After reverting FAT32 to NTFS, you need to reboot which took abot ten minutes the computer start up...

    Cons

    complicated installation. but it is ok...

    "This software saved my Asterisk!!"

    May 8, 2008  |   By jr_00_22

    Version: TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9

    Pros

    It works and it is free. Step by step tutorials can be found online.

    Cons

    Not the easiest to use unless you know computers very well. But the fact that works and saves all data that would otherwise be lost makes up for any downfalls it my have.

    "Effective, incredible, powerful and thorough tool and afterall, FREE OF CHARGE"

    April 16, 2008  |   By donleung

    Version: TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9

    Pros

    It is powerful and can really recovered all my files in a re-fromated and re-partitioned harddisk. Far more powerful than those you have to spend money to buy, my sincere reccommendation to others.

    Cons

    Appearance not attractive and slow.

    "Recovered FORMATTED Sony Camcorder HDD video files"

    April 1, 2008  |   By super_coo

    Version: TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9

    Pros

    After trying every other recovery software, even skipping past this one because of the not so friendly interface I read the comments here and decided it was my last hope before sending my camcorder away. I had formatted my camcorder and then recorded new video and formatted again... and the best the other software could do was find the most recently formatted files (not what I was looking for). This software was able to recover EVERYTHING that I was trying to recover near the end part of the 30gb drive. PhotoRec totally works and saved the video's I had "thought" I had saved to the pc but hadn't... I thought they were lost forever.

    Cons

    This thing WORKS and uses very little resources... How could anyone complain especially since it's FREE!!! Thanks PhotoRec!!!

    "Free Recovery Software that actually works"

    March 16, 2008  |   By Kareyp

    Version: TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9

    Pros

    A little old school in that it uses a command prompt. But was completely free and did its job. Recovered all my data (from documents to pictures) from a corrupt external hard drive that other "free" programs couldn't even recognize. Recovered 10G (18,000 files) in less than 10 minutes. What more can you ask for!

    Cons

    Better user interface.
