Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery

Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery will instantly recover deleted files emptied from Recycle Bin, or lost due to accidental formatting or re-partitioning of a hard drive, viruses, and unexpected system or software malfunction.

Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery is simple to use and provides instant recovery of files with the help of uniquely crafted data recovery engine. The best part of this recovery software is that no technical skills are required for the user to operate and recover files.

A file when deleted never gets deleted permanently, unless it has been deleted using special tools or after deletion saving operation has been performed, which may cause permanent loss of files by overwriting deleted data. If file has been deleted under normal circumstances and the file system attributes are intact then software is capable enough to create the references and can locate and recover the files.

These are the most occurring and common instances of data loss, which includes

1. Accidental File / Folder Deletion
2. Using Shift+Del to delete files
3. Emptied recycle bin
4. Accidental Formatting
5. Missing or lost files
6. Software malfunction
7. Power Glitches
8. Disk Corruption
9. Virus Attacks
   

Supported File Types

DOC, XLS, PPT, MDB
NSF, PST, DBX, MBX

File Recover 6.1 for Windows - software data recovery

File Recover allows you to recover critically important documents, or other files, which have been lost by accidental deletion. These files may be lost by emptying the Recycle Bin, or using other deletion actions that bypass the Recycle Bin altogether. Such actions include Windows Shift-Delete, command line deletion, deleting excessively large files or using applications that delete files without the Recycle Bin.

When a file is deleted from the Recycle Bin, or if the recycle bin is bypassed altogether, the file can no longer be recovered by the Windows Operating system. The content of the file still remains on the drive, relatively intact, until the section of the drive it occupies is overwritten by another file.

File Recover identifies the contents of such lost files on the hard drive and allows you to recover them. If a file has been partially overwritten, File Recover attempts to reconstruct as much of the file as possible with the remaining contents. This allows you to salvage at least part, if not all, of that recovered file to continue using it as required.

File Recover feature highlights

• Recovers files instantly from hard drives, floppy drives and other types of fixed media. If you are a home user or a network administrator, File Recover fills a critical gap in your data protection strategy.
• Rapid scan engine - a typical hard drive can be scanned for recoverable files within minutes.
• Scan all files and directories on selected hard drives.
• Search for a recoverable file using part or all of its file name.
• Utilizing a non-destructive, read-only file recovery approach. File Recover will not write or make changes to the section of the drive from which it is recovering data.
• Batch file recovery (recovers multiple files in one action).
• Works around bad-sector disk areas. Recovers data where other programs fail.
• Supports standard IDE/ATA/SCSI hard drives, including drives larger than 8 GB.
• Supports hard drives formatted with Windows FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems.

Download the latest version of File Recover and start searching for your deleted files now. Please note that the trial version cannot recover files.

Handy Recovery - software data recovery

Handy Recovery™ is an easy-to-use data recovery software designed to restore files accidentally deleted from hard disks and floppy drives. The program can recover files damaged by virus attacks, power failures and software faults or files from deleted and formatted partitions. If some program does not use Recycle Bin when deleting files, Handy Recovery can restore such files. It can also recover files moved to Recycle Bin after it has been emptied.

With Handy Recovery you can browse the content of your disk like you do it in Windows Explorer. The only difference is that you see deleted files and folders along with the regular ones. The program can search for files by name or mask and show the probability of successful recovery for each file. Recovered files can be saved to any disks accessible on your system.

You can also restore the full branch of folders tree containing selected files and folders. Along with the main file data, the program can recover alternate data streams which are used on NTFS file system to store additional information about files.

Handy Recovery works under Microsoft Windows® 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista operating systems.

FAT12/16/32, NTFS and NTFS 5 + EFS file systems support

Handy Recovery supports all MS Windows file systems for hard and floppy drives, including modern versions of NTFS used in Windows XP. It can recover compressed and encrypted files on NTFS drives.

n-depth disk scanning for certain file types

The information about each file on the disk is stored in a file record. When a file is deleted usually its file record is not destroyed immediately, so typical recovery software can use it to restore the file. However in some cases the file record can be deleted too. In this case Handy Recovery can perform in-depth disk scanning and try to find such files.

Option to create disk images for deferred recovery

You can create an exact image of a logical drive and save it to a special file on another drive. Later you will be able to open this image and recover files from it.

Shows probability of successful recovery for each file

Handy recovery estimates chances of successful recovery for each deleted file. If chances are small, you will probably recover the file only partially. In this case some parts of the file can contain incorrect data.

Recovers files from deleted and formatted partitions

If you quick format a partition, Handy Recovery still tries to show files that were on it before formatting. If a file record was not completely overwritten with a new one, you will see the file in the list and will be able to recover it. You can also search for deleted partitions on the disk and recover files from them.

File filtering by name, mask, date and size

You can search for deleted files on a disk by filename or mask. You can also filter the content of a disk by name, mask, date and size and see only required files.

File-Rescue Plus® 4.0 - software data recovery

It's Simple to Recover Your Deleted Files

Simply scan your computer or digital camera or any removable media and choose the deleted files you want to recover. It's that simple! File-Rescue Plus is a fast, thorough, easy way to recover deleted files. It can bring back files that would otherwise be lost forever, including files deleted from the Recycle Bin, deleted by application programs, deleted with removed directories, deleted because of virus damage, or through a "quick format" on a drive. After it scans, it shows you all the files it finds and might be able to undelete, along with the condition of the file and chances of recovery. You can even restore individual files back to the same directory from which they were deleted. File-Rescue Plus works on workstations or servers on Windows® operating systems — Windows® NT/2000/XP/2003

Three Recovery Methods Available for Deleted Files

QuickScan Option. This is a quick scan of the hard drive or removable media for deleted files. If the file has not been overwritten, you can undelete it with this option. Even if the file is partially corrupted, you will be able to recover it; however, there will likely be data loss. ClusterScan Option. This recovery method scans hard drive clusters (the smallest unit of storage) and allows you to undelete files from drives corrupted by the operating system, “quick formatted” drives and virus damaged drives. This is a longer process, but offers recovery from system corruption, virus damage and quick formats that is beyond the capability of other products in its class. Image Rescue. Recover deleted JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, PSD and/or TIFF files from your computer system and/or digital camera media. Picture Rescue scans your media, and optionally displays a thumbnail of each deleted picture, so you can quickly select those to be undeleted. You can recover graphics or pictures even if you’ve quick formatted the media.

File-Rescue Plus Key Features: Undelete and recover files from all types of media. Scan all volumes in a local machine and build a comprehensive list of all deleted files across drives. Fast scanning engine allows the deleted file list to be built in seconds. Cluster scan of "quick formatted" drives or system/virus corrupted hard drives. Undelete small, medium, and large files. Picture scan of your hard drives or digital camera with thumbnail viewing of deleted picture files. Supports removable media such as: 3.5 floppy, Zip, Jazz, Smart Media, Compact Flash, etc… Undelete files from heavily fragmented drives. Undelete files from compressed drives. Easy to understand File Manager and typical Save File dialog. Undelete multiple files at one time. Save recovered files to their original location on the drive. Preserves full directory path on deleted files. Does not make changes to the drive when scanning. Allows the file list to be saved and printed for later analysis. Easy sorting of deleted file list. Easily scan for specific file types. Ability to ignore .TMP files. Supports all Windows file systems. Works with Windows® 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 Workstation and Server! Easy to set up and use to undelete your files, photos and music.

Roaming Administrator License for Corporate Users

To make it easy to recover deleted files throughout your organization you can get a roaming Administrator license. This allows network or system administrators to run File-Rescue Plus from the CD on any machine on the network whether it's a workstation or server.
