Thank you for your excellent product!
I had a Maxtor 250 Gb external drive... On this drive, I had over 50 GB of Karaoke songs, over 3,000 iTunes songs, and every video, picture and CD I ever owned. It was almost 180 GB of precious, irreplaceable data! My machine's browser got hijacked, and somehow the drive became unformatted. In Disk Manager it showed 100% free. I became very panicked, as I had no backups. Losing this data would be costly and personally devastating to me. I frantically searched the net, looking for someone or something to help me. I stumbled across File Scavenger, and, after reading the testimonials, decided to give it a shot. After 4 days of hard drive searching by File Scavenger, it reported that it had found over 98% of my files! I quickly activated the product, and, after purchasing another 250 GB drive, began the process of recovery. After another 3 days grinding out the recovery, the files appeared on the new hard drive, in the same directories, totally intact! I immediately made a copy to another drive for backup.
I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am that your superb product bailed me out big time! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Thanks for File Scavenger - laptop hd failed while I was doing astronomy in Yosemite, I have backups but not the most recent data and images, managed to get it ALL back, well worth the money. Getting the astro images was good, but I am thrilled that I could retrieve all the pictures I took of my son on his first camping trip (he will be 3 in October).

Just want to say that I managed to recover all my valuable files from a disk with bad blocks using File Scavenger software. It was fast, clean, and worth every dollar I paid for it. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

Gentleman,
Your product is great! Having received a panic call from a client this morning, about not being able to boot up, I thought the worst.
Windows XP recovery did not recognize the Windows installation on his PC, recognizing a C: drive but no files on it.
Having tried a number of MS solutions, eventually I did a reinstall of Windows.
This booted up OK, but Windows Explorer showed that all his (apparently lost) data and program files were actually on a second hard disk. Amazingly he was unaware of this!
I was able to modify the boot.ini file to read both the new and old Windows installations, but when selecting the old one, it assumed it was another new installation. None of his extensive suite of programs would have run without a new install. There seemed to be no restore points that could be used. Other disk recovery programs failed to find anything. Having found Scavenger via Google, I downloaded the demo, installed it in the new Windows installation – hey presto, a whole range of restore point files going back 12 months were identified on the ‘dead’ drive. Got a Professional licence immediately!!
I was able to recover a restore point for the day before he had the crash and immediately everything booted correctly, all software ran (including Outlook), and all network shared folders were available again. He now has a backup strategy in place as well!
Thank you. This is one tool I will keep permanently on my hard drive, and on a floppy.

Your software saved my bu..! We recently had our server crash and we lost our accounting file from two years ago, and we have an IRS audit next week. When I re-initiated the backup program I didn't realize that I missed the accounting archive folder. Well it took all day, but your program scavenged through the mess of files and sure enough it was there. That was the best thing to happen to me all week.
THANK YOU!

Dear Sir
If it helps you any, I found your software by what looked like a link you sponsored on Google - I saw it on th eRHS of the screen when I entered keywords "file undelete recovery ntfs"
There were too many offerings and it was the link (that I guess you paid Google for) that caught my eye.
I had tried Lost & Found for my recovery task - with no joy (after waiting 90 mins for the indexing to complete).
Your utility had my files back in about 30 secs.
You have NO IDEA how grateful I am (as I'd purged unbacked up files from Recycle Bin) - (I'm a Systems Administrator with 8 years experience so you can imagine my chagrin that I managed to accomplish such a stupid feat - NOT a good day)
Thank you very, VERY much for a cool util

The comparison of reentering the data versus what your program did saved me hours, probably a full two weeks and then one is never sure about what has been manually reentered. The backup files that worked were not current, and the current file was corrupted. Major Headache. I have a deadline on Wednesday morning.
The computer the drive was in had an internal spike when my assistant was installing a new modem card. When he plugged the power supply back in, there was a loud electric pop. I think he lost a screw inside the case and assumed it had fallen out on the floor. First consultant here in Luxembourg said the drive is gone. I insisted he install it into another computer in the office. He did that and only 2 of the 3 partitions were visible.
Possibly because the invisible partition in was the boot sector, and the settings on the computer did not allow the conflict.
I have not tried to recover the whole drive, possible later I can try to do that. For now I just recovered an accounting file that was 6 megabytes. I don't know how to recover the drive/partition and not have a conflict with the computer it is currently installed in. I think it may be easier to wait until I replace the dead pc.
I am on a tight schedule here in our Luxembourg office. Any way thanks again for having this great little program. Let me know of any assistance I can be. We do marketing in the EU.
Sincerely,
