O&O DiskRecovery for Windows

This utility thoroughly scans your computer for deleted or corrupted files, but the all-important restoration feature is completely disabled. The O&O DiskRecovery interface is well designed but complex. The list of file types is extensive, and the program is preset to search them all.

This program completely scans a selected drive, finds lost and damaged files, and saves them to a folder viewable only with O&O DiskRecovery. Scan time depends on the capacity of your storage media. Until you register this application, scanning and saving are all it offers. The trial version cannot restore at all, while the registered Personal Edition is limited to restoring 100 files per session. Intermediate and advanced users won't find this application hard to work with, but with its main function disabled, it's hard to get a feel for its full capabilities.
