Saved my life!

Pros
- Intuitive interface - Installs smoothly - No abrupt errors & shutdown of program (like Purana File Recovery did TWICE) - Swift recovery of deleted and lost files, while executing 4 other recovery programs at the same time, who were going to take extra hours to display the results (and who'd already taken hours to search through the directories), not to mention they might have not found the files (some didn't) - Doesn't damage the files
Cons
Haven't found any.
Summary
Worked Well

Pros
Very easy to install, located the disks right away
Cons
I hoped to be able to open the files in the disk, but either the disk was in shambles or the program was too complex. I didn't succeed
Summary
Excellent recovery progam, recovered all my pics & docs

Pros
Program is as advertised. Recovered all my files from a Linux setup in a Buffalo NAS - Link Station Live. Easy to use within Windows in Explorer environment. did not need to use help pages, pretty intuitive User Interface.
Cons
Could have offered more options during recovery, but I am not complaining as it was FREE!
Summary
As bit of background, my Buffalo NAS stopped appearing on my network one morning. Quick call to Tech Support showed that the product was out of warranty and mother board was fried. Was advised that the Hard Drive was probably okay. Disaasembled the box and removed the hard drive and hooked it up to a laptop with appropriate USB cabling/powersupply ($20 on Amazon). First program that I tried to recover with was Linux Reader, which only showed the partitions and that the drive was avaialbe, but was not able to see any files. Contacted several hard drive recovery companies and was advised a minimum of $200 for an estimate. Then I downloaded and tried R-Linux free recovery. I recovered everything. Approximately 100,000 files including pictures, music and other important documents. I lost the entire folder structure and heirarchy, but recovered all the individual files...a small inconvenience compared to the huge disaster that I was staring at. Learnt my lesson and have set up a NAS with a mirror drive. I highly recommend R-Linux.
AMAZING when all other trials failed

Pros
This was able to recover my files from and old hard drive and transferred them to a working hard drive when all trials failed. This is not limited to files of 64kb.
Cons
Didn't find anything bad about this.
Summary
Use it!
The Best Recovery Tool Ever!

Pros
This is how software should work, not to mention it's free- if I were to appraisethe value of this software- I'd say it's priceless.
Cons
There's nothing not to like about this product. Now this provides acces to an outlook far beyond the range of our ordinary experience.

Pros
Found the files and more that I was looking for in a very short time.
Cons
I did not find anything wrong with it.
Summary
This is a great free program that you should use incase you need to recover your information.
Worked as described - saved my files and my life !!!

Pros
Easy to run, clean interface, and performed exactly as described.
Cons
There are no cons to this application.
Summary
The help files were excellent, although I barely needed them. Recovered 80,880 of 86,311 files from a corrupt Fedora installation, most importantly it recovered the files and allowed me to save them on to another drive with the filenames and directory structure intact. This is a very well designed and thought out utility. Recovered files that a paid application could not recover. This is a utility for a corrupted file system - if you are experiencing a hardware failure READ the instructions and warnings that come with the program.
Cool
