file undelete and data recovery utility File Scavenger is a Windows file undelete and data recovery utility for NTFS and FAT/FAT32 volumes. It can recover files that were damaged by virus or accidentally deleted from Windows Explorer, the Recycled Bin, command line window, or a network share along with original folder names and file Create and Modified dates. File Scavenger supports reformatted volumes or broken hardware/software RAID volumes as well as file compression, dynamic disks, alternate data streams, sparse files, Unicode file names and more. With the trial version only 64KB or smaller files can be recovered. The program offers 3 different search modes, one for quick access to recently deleted files, one for exhaustive search and also a defunct volume search that can even recover files from compromised striped and RAID volumes. We tested the File Scavenger on a machine that was reformatted a few days earlier, and successfully recovered some of the files, old desktop shortcuts and more. File Scavenger can optionally be installed or used in portable mode.

Trial Limitations: Recover files smaller than 64 KB

It works brilliantly 5 stars by TonyWilkins Oct 11, 2010 (Read all my 2 reviews)
I have used a few recovery programs but this is brilliant. If its possible you will find it with this and its recovered as a folder tree. showShow review details
Great tool, great price!!! 4 stars by ITguy1 Aug 27, 2010
We use this tool allot to recover data for our clients. In most cases the drives suffer from some time of partition corruption and File Scavenger can handle this beautifully. In the few cases that we can not recover the data via File Scavenger we send it out to in-lab services. However, usually the software can handle the case well. showShow review details
Every IT professional should have one 4 stars by blingbling Apr 12, 2009
One of my Vista latptops was encrypted with PointSec 6.3. Later I had to decrypt it and remove PointSec but the uninstallation failed. Then Windows could not bootup and the disk could not be read by Vista installation disk! I had a small database file I need to recover so i took the drive out and put it into a desktop. i tried 3 other utilities and none of them could see the laptop drive. I was getting frantic but I then I stumble on File Scanvenger. After installation, I saw the new drive, the folder and all of the data files. it was hard to believe, within minutes after buying the software, I recovered the data files. I am so glad I came across this utility. showShow review details
