File Scavenger® Version 3 is a file "undelete" and data recovery
utility for Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, Windows Server 2003®, Windows
2000®, Windows NT® and Windows ME/98/95®. File Scavenger® can recover
files that have been accidentally deleted (including files removed from
the Recycle Bin, in a DOS window, from a network drive, from Windows
Explorer with the SHIFT key held down) provided that recovery is
attempted before the files are permanently overwritten by new data.
File Scavenger® supports both basic and dynamic disks, NTFS
compression, alternate data streams, sparse files, Unicode filenames,
etc. Except in severe cases, both the file and the folder path leading
to the file can be recovered. English, German, Japanese and French
versions are available.
File Scavenger® can also recover files
from a reformatted or corrupted volume even when the volume has been
deleted and its original position and size are unknown. File Scavenger®
can scan an entire physical hard drive to look for traces of defunct
volumes.
File Scavenger® uses advanced algorithms to handle disks
with bad sectors and badly corrupted partitions. It can be installed on
a hard drive or run from a portable storage device such as a memory
stick, removable drive, CD or floppy disk. To run File Scavenger®, you
must log on as a system administrator to the computer where data
recovery is intended.
Files can only be restored if the disk
areas allocated to the files have not been overwritten by new data. All
recovered files should be validated for the integrity of the recovered
data.
