• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
