This software ROCKS! It has saved me on two occasions. The first time, it was even able to recover data stored across two HD's set up in a RAID 0. The RAID card failed and I feared that I had lost all the data. I installed a new RAID card and set up the drives in a similar configuration, then ran the software. I was stunned when I was able to recover hundreds of files, that saved me from rewriting tens of thousands of lines of code.
The second time was when the Master Boot Record on my laptop HD got corrupted. The HD would not boot, so I installed it as a slave drive on my desktop hoping that it was just the MBR that was damaged. When I booted the desktop, it found errors on the HD and did some error checking. When the boot completed, I could see the HD, but all my data was gone! That's when I remembered File Scavenger and recovered 14GB of data! It found files of every type: .jpg, .xls, .ppt, .html, .pdf, .doc, .asp, .cfm, .bat. Highly Recommended!
