File recovery from deleted, formatted, corrupted and unreadable volumes, with a bootable environment included for machines that will not start at all.
When a file is deleted, a partition is formatted or a drive stops mounting, the data is usually still sitting on the disk. What has gone is the entry in the file system that says where it starts and how long it is. Recovery software rebuilds that information, either by reading whatever remains of the file system structures or by scanning the raw surface for the signatures that mark the beginning of a known file type.
This tool does both, in that order. The quick scan reads the existing structures and comes back in under a minute with everything that is still referenced, including deleted entries and file names. The deep scan then goes through the raw sectors matching signatures for hundreds of formats, which takes hours on a large drive but finds material after a format, a partition table loss or a file system corruption where nothing structural remains. Results from both passes appear in one tree, and you can start recovering from the quick results while the deep scan is still running.
Preview before recovery is the feature that makes it usable rather than a lottery. Photos, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets and archives can be opened in the panel to confirm the file is intact before you commit to writing it out. Filtering by type, size, modification period and file name narrows a scan that returned two hundred thousand results down to the twenty you were looking for. Scan sessions save to a file, so a long deep scan can be paused, closed and resumed later without repeating it.
The bootable environment is what separates this from a simple undelete utility. It writes a self contained recovery system to a USB stick, boots the failed machine into it, and runs the same scanner against the internal disk without Windows ever loading. That covers the case where the operating system will not start, and it avoids the worst mistake in data recovery, which is writing to the damaged drive while trying to read it.
Read the whole list before you start. Most of the reports that come into the desk about this title turn out to be a step taken out of order.

Recover to a different physical drive than the one you are scanning. Writing recovered files back onto the damaged volume overwrites the material you have not recovered yet.
If the drive is making noise or disappearing from the system intermittently, stop and image it first. Every additional scan of failing hardware reduces what can be read.
