Get your deleted data back from your drives

FILERECOVERY® for Windows is a safe and affordable do-it-yourself data recovery solution that is designed to recover lost and deleted files from all types of media such as hard drives, floppy drives, CompactFlash, and other types of removable media. This software recovers files whether they have been deleted from the command line, from within an application, Windows Explorer, or removed from the Recycle Bin. In addition it recovers formatted or lost drives and drives with a severe logical file system damage. This software will scan the drive and bring up list of files which can be saved from the scanned drive. Especially for forensic application the list of recovered and reconstructed files and folders can be saved to disk as well as printed out. To preserve the drive with the lost or deleted files, all recovered files must be saved to another storage device or another drive letter in the system. It is a non-destructive read-only application and will not write or make changes to the drive it is recovering from. Second hard disk is recommended for recovery.

ADVANTAGES

  • Access to all the file systems -- FAT12/16, FAT32 and NTFS.
  • Standard write using Windows® API minimizes the chance of disk corruption.
  • Since it has access to the Windows® virtual memory, this eliminates the file and drive size limitations associated with a DOS based program.
  • Full access to the network and other installed peripherals such as Zip, SyQuest and external hard drive.
  • Compatibility with Stripe Sets RAID and Mirrored Drives.
  • Easy to use and a fully automated wizard, which walks the user through the program.
  • More than a Windows recycle-bin.

This software is NOT able to find data on a physically damaged drive. Not every file can be undeleted: less fragmentation (common if media not full) will increase the rate of recovery because the entire data is stored at the beginning of the first cluster of a file.

The probability of recovery is lower, the smaller the disk capacity relative to the file size is. When a file is deleted from a FAT32 drive in 2000/XP environment, the higher order value of the starting cluster gets lost. Hence it is not possible for FILERECOVERY® to correctly predict the starting location of the deleted entry. Therefore, it reconstructs the file by using all the possible values of the starting cluster higher order value and leaves it up to the user to find out the correct file.
