Kernel for FAT-NTFS 4.03

Kernel for FAT-NTFS

Shady Company - Wouldn't Buy

Pros: The trial version worked great, until you actually want to recover something.

Cons: I downloaded the trial version of the software to recover some corrupt files. It appeared to find them so I bought the full version to recover the files. Not only did they double charge me for the software, but the password they sent me for access rights did not even work.

Ever time I emailed them about the double charge, they would tell me that it would be taken care of shortly. It was never taken care of, and now it's too late for my CC company to recover the loss.

Kernel for FAT-NTFS

Great Product

by: Dave Farera on 27-Jan-2006 03:58:46 AM

Pros: I accidently deleted the partitions on my USB backup drive(Which was my only backup ).It had 3 years of backup of my emails and documents. I found Kernel on download.com . I downloaded the demo and tried my luck with it. I was lucky. The Demo showed me that the data is still intact, only the partition information was missing. I bought the software online and the activation key was emailed to me with in next few minutes.

After an hour or so i was actually able to recover all of my data.

If you are in the same situation, than give it a try.

Cons: I didn't found any reseller of their product.

Kernel for FAT-NTFS

Worth it's weight in gold

by: datarecoveryreview on 13-May-2008 12:36:12 AM

Pros: I had a hard drive that would no longer boot. Windows XP would not recognize it. I found this software on download.com . It took some time to find the files. I had over a year's worth of personal data on this drive.

The demo let me see the files that could be recovered. I also verified the files recovery quality by double clicking on them. I was able to open almost all the files in the demo.

I bought the program immediatley and got my serial number.I successfully recovered all my required data It was really easy and intuitive to do. Best $69 I ever spent!

Cons: Nothing like that.

Kernel for FAT-NTFS

It WORKS, when others didn't.

by: tcat01 on 08-Apr-2008 11:15:08 AM

Pros: I had a bad sector on a SAT drive that locked it up (dskchk would stop, as would most other utilities). I took it to a local "Computer Nerdz", they tried recovery for 2 days, charged me $59, and said "it stops and can't get anything off it". Said to try a HD recover place ($300 minimum).

So I tried all the freeware here, and nothing worked (some got "some" files, but didn't keep file names. Downloaded this trial, and the ability to set the start and stop sector, allowed it to "see" after the bad sector. It found tons of stuff, so I paid my $49.00 (NTFS version), and after running for 6 hours found and recovered what I was looking for, about 5000 photo files from the past year I hadn't backed up (learned my lesson there!), all with correct folders and names. It did mess up a few .jpgs (which were probably already messed up), but all my original CR2 files and .jpg originals look great. The trail will show you if you can recover anything. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

Cons: Not to easy to figure out. To get best recovery setting number of sectors to check at one time to a minimum helps keep it from stopping on a bad sector, but also increases run time a lot. Trial runs very slow (probably has setting to minimum), once you buy it, seems to run much faster.

Company has unreliable software and won't refund your money.

by: UProf on 02-Aug-2007 02:07:57 AM

Cons: I tried their Kernel for PST. It was a complete disaster. It did not do what it claimed do it. For instance, it botched ALL my contacts. And they are giving me the runaround on a refund. I fear the results will be similar for all their software.
