Handy Recovery is an awesome product.

When it comes to recovering files, there are really no free products and the shareware and freeware options don’t give the options required.

For such an important task it is always best to buy yourself a full copy or take your drive to a data recovery service.

George mentioned that most of these free programs are only demos. Is Handy Recovery really free or only for a limited time period?

I used to increase the size of the my page file to its maximum which would then wipe over the top of all deleted file.

Actually if file is changed data recovery is useless just because new modifications are written to same place (and thus this overwrites old information with no recovery chances).
The only one solution is to use Vista with its file versionning (in some cases it allows to pick ‘previous file version’). Some chances also exist if file was deleted/created instead of overwritten but chances are quite low.

About this specific software: recently I had to choose recovery software to get back photos from my vacations (they were on flash card and FAT was detroyed).
I tested plenty software products and my choice was new tool named “Raise Data Recovery for FAT”. Only one other good enough tool was one from Stellar, however it costs more. The free tools sucks. I’ll publish my own review in blogs soon…

I do have a problem. Files recovered are corrupted. Is that normal?

We have 5 children and our youngest two are forever turning one of our computers on/off via the power button (not the proper Windows shut-down). I did a system recovery to factory specs and to my amazement the data files were still there!
