File and partition recovery across all the common file systems, with targeted scanning by location and file type, preview before recovery and bootable media for a dead system drive.
Power Data Recovery is aimed at getting files back from every version of the situation where they are gone: deleted, emptied from the bin, lost to a format, lost to a partition that no longer appears, lost to a file system that reports itself as raw, or lost to a drive that Windows now offers to format for you. It reads the media directly and rebuilds what is still physically present on it.
The starting point is deliberately targeted rather than a blanket scan of everything. You can scan a specific logical drive, a specific folder, the desktop, the recycle bin, or a whole physical disk including its unallocated space. Scanning a folder rather than a volume takes minutes instead of hours and is usually enough for the ordinary case, which is a single directory somebody deleted an hour ago.
Results are organised so they can be worked through rather than only dumped in a list. Files are grouped by path where the structure survived, by type where it did not, and filtered by extension, size and modification age. A preview pane opens documents, images, video and audio inside the results so you can confirm a file is intact before recovering it, and the scan result can be exported and loaded again later without repeating the scan.
The Technician level covers the harder cases and the situations where you are working on somebody else's machine. Support for NTFS, exFAT, FAT, ReFS and the common Linux file systems, recovery from RAID volumes and dynamic disks, sector by sector imaging so all work happens on a copy of a failing drive, memory card and optical media handling, and a bootable environment on USB for a machine whose system drive is the problem.
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.
| Processor | Intel or AMD, 64 bit |
|---|---|
| Memory | 4 GB minimum, 8 GB for full disk scans |
| Graphics | Not applicable |
| Storage | 500 MB for the install plus space equal to what you are recovering |
| Display | 1280 by 800 minimum |
If the drive is making noises it did not make before, image it first and recover from the image. Every additional scan on failing hardware is a risk.
Never recover files back onto the volume you are recovering from. Doing so overwrites the data you have not recovered yet.
