• Best data recovery software, runs under Windows 7

  baltoproMarch 2, 2014

  Pros

  Has salvaged data from my CDs, DVDs, and HDDs when all others have failed. CDCheck (final) version 3.1.14.0 works fine under Windows 7 32-bit SP1.

  Cons

  There is no way to target specific filenames or file extensions using CDCheck. CDCheck recovers EVERYTHING it can from the target disk or directory, including files you can already read fine. CDCheck 3.1.14.0 was released 12/08, and apparently will not be developed further.

  Summary

  If CDCheck can't recover your data, then probably nothing can. CDCheck has never failed me, even when all others have, including IsoBuster, DVD X Rescue, OnTrack EasyRecovery, Restoration, and CD Data Rescue. Be advised: Depending on how badly your data is corrupted, occasionally CDCheck data recovery can take a long time - sometimes DAYS! However, the long waits have always paid-off.

• not very useful

  dre belgiumJanuary 23, 2012

  Pros

  easy and correct install; easy to work with.

  Cons

  CD's with scratches needed lots of retries with CD copier; yet CDCheck said the disk was OK. I think it always says "OK" when data is recoverable, even after some retries. I did not do much experimenting with the software, though.

• CDCheck is FREE! Use "free personal use license" option

  cnetJakeFebruary 21, 2010

  Pros

  Very quick and efficient. Provides excellent feedback.

  Cons

  None as yet.

  Summary

  This excellent CDCheck software is FREE for personal use. But to get a free personal use license you need to go to their web site "order" page, create an account with a user name, password, and valid email address, then login and click he button to request a free personal use license. Enter the license code into the CDCheck/About/Registration/Code field and you are good to go! The current web site version as of 02/2010 is 3.1.14

• When did it become NOT free?

  dchurchy1May 31, 2008

  Pros

  Excellent program. It was cheap, only $15, to buy the personal license.

  Cons

  I don't like listing it as free, when it is actually just free to try so you cannot use the repairing process until you pay up. Very disappointing to discover after the scan that you can do nothing about what it turns up.
