It Sees only (Windows/DOS) formatted disks/partitions
jacques63December 17, 2009
Pros
It gives the current state of the internal disk, in FAT 1 and FAT 2.
Cons
If there are raw partitions on the Harddisk, then the software does not see it. So if there is a bug within the root or Rigid Data Block (Root of the hard disk partition which makes the data "raw" it can't be solved. )
Summary
In my situation i can't use the software. Within my PC there is 6 GB not accessable because the data is raw. If RigiDataBlocks are invalid then there is no way for to salve them.

Works but hs quirks
tom_ericOctober 22, 2008
Pros
Intuitive, works and is free
Cons
Like the other reviewers, lack of support for writing long file names is a real bummer. Less annoying but disappointing is the needs for a FAT32 partition to write to.
Summary
I got my files back
jstonedotorgJune 26, 2008
Pros
Was able to get all of my files back off my crashed IBM 75GXP hard drive. <p> <p>I wrote a review of my experience at: <p> <p>squidoo.com/Hard_Drive_Data_Recovery
Cons
It truncated long file names, and took a long time, but it was well worth it.
Summary
Free (demo) version limits recovery file size to 64KB

Only program that allowed me recover 25 Mb of files from the hard drive
waterboy71150November 24, 2005
Pros
Whole program fit on a 1.44 Mb bootable disk. Select and copy functions worked well. Displays long file names.
Cons
Displays long file names but doesn't preserve them for copied files. Can only transfer files to floppy disks or another hard drive; support for CD writer or USB flash memory would be helpful.
Summary
if you're desperate and nothing else works.. give it a shot.
MissNovaOctober 12, 2005
Pros
It.. starts up. And it's free. I assume it works in some cases. It also runs (only) in DOS so it doesn't require a bootable drive, which would be incredibly convenient if it found anything.
Cons
Trying to recover a corrupted hard drive (NTFS) - Downloaded this. It's hard to run and turned out to be essentially useless in my case. Jumped through hoops to run it only to be told that it couldn't read my drive at all. I got better results from basic, unregistered File Scavenger. Try some other options first.
