User Reviews

• Great program; lousy installer

  denweidner1/13/2014

  Pros

  The program itself works very well, but...

  Cons

  DO NOT USE CNET'S INSTALLER!!!! It will fill your PC with Malware. Use Direct Download Link instead.

• Also does FAT

  ptcncom8/11/2010

  Pros

  Not only restores. Also wipes. Wipes ererything on a certain drive in 1 sigh. Works on FAT as well as on NTFS (another program, DataRecovery, does well as well on NTFS but not so good on FAT)

  Cons

  Little bit of strange interface (with the 'Others'-button for 'Delete Completely' and the completely different button for 'Restore by Copying'). As if delition/wipening was not wished for. No HELP at all (details outfindable by TR&E)

  Summary

  Mind you, in case of this program and others alike that Windows will probably run a CHKDSK after restart. Don't worry about that. Let it run. If it says 'the computer will restart now' at the end, it probably won't. Just shut down the hard way then and after that everything should be fine With (hopefully and apparantly) Thoroughly Cleaned Drives.

• Can't use it

  7/28/2010

  Pros

  None, can't use it

  Cons

  Says I have to login as administrator even though I'm already. This is something the manufacturer needs to fix.

  Summary

  Can't get it to work due to programming flaw.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 28, 2010<p/>Still doesn't work when I choose run as administrator. Shuts down every time with unknown error.

• Logging In As Administrator

  A_C_E_7/5/2010

  Pros

  Easy to use No installation

  Cons

  There's no help menu (not that it's needed) Can't be used unless by an administrator (going to elaborate a bit)

  Summary

  For those that cannot use the product because it says you need to be an administrator, even when logged in as the administrator, just RIGHT CLICK THE PROGRAM AND CHOOSE "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR". I had trouble with that myself and thought others might have the same problem, so typying that up was pretty much the only reason why i made this account. The program works great and it recovered the mp3s I lost when I deleted my music folder :D (Just an FYI, Shift+Delete = instant deletion without going to the Recycling Bin &gt;.&gt;) The one downside is that the filename of some items might be a little messed up

• A Life Saver. Amazing Program!!!

  jericksen099/6/2009

  Pros

  Works 100%%%% Restores files months old Has search utility. Works for all files. Saved my life

  Cons

  I actually used the 2.5 version and there was nothing wrong with it, so version 3 must be even better.

  Summary

  When i deleted my 25 page paper from recycle bin i felt my heart drop. Seriously it was one of the scariest moments in my life. When i saw this on google i really didnt believe it, i thought it would be a virus or something but at the time i was willing to take the risk. When i downloaded it it showed the thousands of items i've deleted in the past months. And i used the search function to find mine. This saved my life.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 6, 2009<p/>Also very easy to use

• Perfectly restored some irreplaceable pictures.

  naturemom9/2/2009

  Pros

  It is easy to use and I am not extremely tech-savvy. For me, it was a miracle. I had accidentally deleted a large folder of pictures, including from my daughter's wedding. It quickly found them and restored them.

  Cons

  I didn't see a help file. It is pretty intuitive, but I wasn't sure what I was doing and a help file would have been, well, helpful.

  Summary

  I would highly recommend it. I used it immediately after realizing the pictures were gone and they were not in the recycle bin, so that probably helped. I have not tried it for files that were deleted earlier. Not a lot of bells and whistles which I wouldn't know how to use anyway. It will also restore files on a portable drive; I tried that just for kicks. Great little program
