One feature I definitely like is the check boxes making for easy selection of multiple files/folders for recovery. The data is then displayed sorted by file type in a familiar file tree. In this mode, just a 1 minute scan (before I stopped it manually) found far more data than in undelete mode.

Perhaps the name “Damaged FileSystem Recovery” would be more appropriate, though I may be just getting overly technical about it. This is where you want to go for sustained filesystem damage such as an OS over-install, delete where the recycle bin wasn’t used, or other cases of lost data requiring file carving. It really has nothing to do with your partition, but rather the filesystem on your partition. Probably because I always use Shift + Delete and not the recycle bin. I found that on my system it found almost nothing in this mode. But, if the file isn’t there this isn’t the feature for you. It’s just the quick scan of the file tables for deleted files. Please keep in mind though that it doesn’t use any file carving or RAW scan for lost files in this mode. This is pretty much what it sounds like, it’s to find and recover deleted files. Let’s take a look at each of these features.

Undelete Recovery, Damaged Partition Recovery, Lost Partition Recovery, Digital Media Recovery, and CD/DVD Recovery. Overview of FeaturesĪs you can see in the picture here, Power Data Recovery breaks down it’s features into five categories. So we may make some tough comparisons in this article, please don’t take offense or rule out this rather handy program. We may tend to be more critical than your average reviewer, as we’ve used pretty much every data recovery tool there is from the free testdisk and photorec to the extremely expensive PC-3000 with Data Extractor.

Warning! We are Data Recovery Professionals As it was featured on recently we’ve decided that it’s time to review the latest version to see what’s new and post our results. This certainly isn’t a new program, in fact it’s been around for some time. Today we’re taking a look at MiniTool Power Data Recovery.
