Testimonials From People Who Have Used Our File Data Recovery Programs

• 2003/01/24 - Dag Lohmann

  Just wanted to let you know that everything worked out and I was able to completely recover an external 80 GByte firewire harddrive. Thanks for a working product.

• 2003/01/22 - Michael McAuliffe, Perth, Western Australia

  Many thanks for producing a quality piece of software "File Scavenger". I recovered nearly 20 GB of vital data after my HP Pavilion decided to format my hard drive after a "Non-Destructive System Recovery". I was resigned to losing the data after HP washed their hands of it and my computer technical support people wanted to charge $1000 AUD to do an advance recovery diagnosis with no guarantees. After downloading the demo software and finding nearly all my lost data I purchased the full version and VIOLA.. it was all there about 95% was still intact and useable. It is very user friendly and a competent PC user will find it a breeze. Thanks.

  First of all, I want to thank you for the great job you did saving my corrupt HD. Dont' know how you did it... but what a relief... and from now on, I'll be known as "Mr. Back-Up!" As soon as I get everything sorted out, I'm saving everything to CD's and the 'storage' HD. I have learned a valuable lesson... All of us that have computers can be thankful there are people like you that know how to solve these problems...

• 2003/01/20 - Vern Rogers

  fyi.... your software is awesome! I recovered all but one file when i inadvertently formatted over 20 GB of data on a slave drive. Thanks QueTek!

• 2003/01/20 - Tim Furry

  Broken hardware RAID 10
  
  100% recovered!!!. You have my respect and admiration.
  
  You also have my authority to charge the balance of the fee to the same credit card used to purchase the license. You've earned it.
  
  I've made two backups of all the data I wanted to save. The rest of it can be installed from original software. It came out to about 10.5GB.
  
  Now I've got the long road of wiping and re-doing the RAID from scratch...fdisk, surface scans, etc. Probably will be another week before it's up again. The new graphics card is in and seems to be working well, too...maybe I'll be semi-productive in a week. :P
  
  Thanks so much for your help. You've made a lifetime customer. Hopefully I won't need you again. (grin)

• 2003/01/07 - Claude Gauthier

  Your program is amazing. My 60GB hard drive got corrupted, due to the overnet  software program I use for file sharing.  I'm operating a Win2K pro system and my 4 hard drives are all formatted as NTFS drives.
  
  Norton SystemWorks 2003 couldn't find any DOS on the drive, it couldn't even begin to assess the damage.
  
  Microsoft's CHKDSK seemed to be able to see the files as it scanned but it couldn't repair the damage done by the other software. Therefore, in Windows, i got the message that drive D: was corrupted everytime I tried to open it.
  
  Because CHKDSK saw things, I decided not to give up on the drive yet, and see if somehow there were some utilities that could help me out. After searching the web, I found some software, such as Easy Recovery, Recover It All, and others, including yours.
  
  All of them had steep prices to begin with, and none of their demos would prove to me that I could save anything. In fact, all of them kept crashing on the scan, except for yours.
  
  Because of your software, I was able to retrieve nearly everything I thought was lost. It was a smooth job, the software is very easy to use, and talk about stability, your software never crashed at any given point either during the scan, or when I went through the various recoveries.
  
  A hard drive crash is like an act of god, you never know what's gonna get corrupted and lost. I know that your program was able to get through corrupted directories and pull stuff I thought was gone for good.
  
  Anyway, it was the best $40 that i've spent on software. Keep up the good work. Software such as yours should be part of every OS.

• 2003/01/06 - Bob

  I trashed my files (I should say that Windows trashed my files!) accidentally.  I was looking at a $1000 recovery charge.  Looked around the net and found you guys. Wow. Got 90% of everything back intact!  The rest, I can rebuild. Thanks. I saved a bundle and I saved my peace-of-mind. I wish you much success with your enterprise.  I'll be your strongest supporter!

• 2002/12/30 - Ray

  Your solution to registration problem worked well and I am more than impressed with your program.  Everything I needed to recover (approx 30 megs.) was recovered.
  Thank you for such a handy utility. I would not believed it possible with a repartitioned and quick formatted disk.
  Thank goodness I did not go for full format.. :¬(
  
  Thanks again for your prompt assistance

• 2002/12/19 - Paul

  First, let me say thank you very much for developing this program. I thought I lost all my business details on both my hard drives after having a really bad virus. I re-installed windows on one of them then came across you free trial download for retrieving files.
  
  Well to be honest I thought I would not think it would work after starting to format it, but it did and I saved myself a lot of hard work using you program. The only question is that I have recovered a lot of files but there are some files which will not open and a lot of music files that only now play for 2 secs. Can you let me know if I can do anything about these?
  
  Many thanks and thanks again for saving my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• 2002/12/19 - bhu Boue vidya, HipWare Software Design

  Today I accidently deleted a source tree off a network drive instead of a local drive, losing about 2 months of work in 5 seconds, and this happening the day before I had to fly interstate to show my boss the new batch of work. Holy cow! After banging the walls and screaming for about 15 minutes, I sat down and thought to myself, "There must be some way to recover those files". Two phone calls later and a computer breakdown technician did a quick web search, and said I should have a look at File Scavenger. Thankfully all my source drives are NTFS, because in about 30 minutes I had downloaded the software, read the help file, paid the (unbelievably cheap) $40 license fee, and recovered all of my source files, well over 1000 of them. Of these, just one, yes one, is not in it's original state, but it can be easily replicated (unlike a lot of the others).
  
  Quetek, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!
  
  Everyone running Windows should have File Scavenger, period.

• 2002/12/18 - Hopson Arceneaux, Nerdworks Computing

  Thank you very much for attending to this matter. I am extremely impressed by the genuine effort you have put forth in helping me obtain this credit.
  
  Your actions ememplify the type of service and support that should be the standard for all progressive, modern day companies. I've used the product and it works great!

• 2002/12/16 - Barry Turner

  Just a few lines to say how relieved I was to be able to get my data back using File Scavenger! What a superb program! I'm glad I moved over to NTFS files system otherwise things wouldn't have gone so well, but I still couldn't have done it without QueTek and File Scavenger. Brilliant, the only word to describe the program.

• 2002/12/16 - Frank Hale

  Paying you is not enough,
  
  Yesterday I formated my life... well a lot of time and passion (personal photos and zillions of cad drawings). Bought your program and recovered a chunk of my life.
  
  thankyou thankyou thankyou.
  
  Advice to anyone thinking of what system to format their computer......NTFS. Forget the security issue. Its the dumb factor you should consider.

• 2002/12/16 - Dave Pike of Reading, UK

  Thank you for your rapid response support - it is much appreciated!! Following your note with the licence nos below I successfully recovered the majority of the files I required but I found it necessary to do a further scan of the disk as I discovered there are a few more files I need to recover but again the volatile llicence code reared its head.
  
  I have now reinstalled File Scavenger using the downloaded installation file you suggested. I have submitted a further licence transfer which I'm sure your automatic system will challenge but I assume you'll be able to release.
  
  The current Serial No is: X009-27720-A467-62105-29960-30800 which appears to be constant every time I run the product.
  
  Many thanks again for your support for a product which has 'saved my life' if not my sanity (though this volatile licence code is testing that too!!)

• 2002/12/14 - Kelly

  Just wanted to let you know that I was able to use the new code and managed to retrieve more than 95% of all data that Windows wiped out.
  
  I will definitetly be recommending your services!

• 2002/12/08 - Jimmy May

  Subject: File Scavenger 2.0 saved my patooticles--and a lot of files, too

  Most of you are aware that a rogue uninstall applet (from no less a reputable vendor as Compaq!) recently deleted thousands of files from my personal server, some of which were irreplaceable, e.g., my tSQL script archive. Searching for a suitable undelete utility was an arduous task. I searched far-&-wide, reviewing and even sampling many pretenders. It was discouraging at times. One such utility actually installed itself to the source drive, potentially overwriting the data I sought to restore! The application didn't even offer an opportunity to install itself on a safe partition, instead recklessly installing itself to C:. Many of the utilities I reviewed only restored files to a designated folder without restoring the original folder structure. With thousands of files, I'm certain you can imagine that this would be better than nothing but nonetheless far from ideal. Finally, I found QueTek's File Scavenger 2.0. A mere $39.95 and twenty minutes were all which was required to restore successfully the vast majority of my files.

• 2002/12/02 - Tristan Bull

  Hello, it turns out I just had the drives selected in the wrong order. I changed that, and so far it has been able to recover everything. This is amazing really, as I had not found any other program able to even find all the data on the drives. Thank you very much for your quick support(on a holiday even!) and for your excellent program. I had around 80 gigs of data that I thought was lost, and your program has saved me. Rest assured that I will recommend File Scavenger to anyone in the future who is looking for a data recovery program. Thanks again. This was definately worth my $40. ;)

• 2002/11/07 - Ray Chance

  You guys are the best... Thank you for providing an easy-to-use site where
  downloads can be accomplished immediately.  File Scavenger saved me!

• 2002/10/30 - Harold Vines

  When the directory on my RAID 0 system became corrupt, I tried a lot of products, and talked and emailed to a lot of people. I came across products that didn't work to ones that got close but still didn't recover my files. I came across people who knew some but not enough, to people who I must say were pretty much clueless yet were still quite willing to 'try' for a hefty price. I kept thinking there had to be a technical person out there who had the tool and expertise to recover these files at a reasonable cost. When I finally happened upon the staff at Quetek and their tool, all my hopes were met. The tool worked, the staff were extremely helpful, the cost was reasonable and I recovered all my files. I was very impressed and pleased. After successfully working with QueTek, the others I contacted seem like charlatans and price gougers.

• 2002/10/28 - Michael Baraz

  You're a life saver man! File Scavenger pulled my chestnuts out of the fire. I retrieved what looks like all the files in the directories. Now I'm just mopping up moving them back to this computer. The weird thing is that I think uninstall is what caused the deletion but I also installed . I can't be sure which thing caused it... but you've got to believe I was surprised to see 10GB of stuff GONE! If there is a testimonial or user review you'd like me to write up let me know! Thanx again and best regards... 

• 2002/10/18 - LenCooper - Unisys

  I have nearly 5000 files that were doubled.your software recovered all of them.I little inconvenience to delete the surplus is nothing compared to the possibility of losing those files forever…Whether you fix this bug or not.I truly appreciate the technology your company has provided. All the best to you.

• 2002/10/16 - Terry Stewart

  Thank you. This piece of software is a life-saver.

• 2002/10/15 - Mike McDonald
  Your product worked great! We easily recovered everything we needed, and even some stuff that wasn't so important. I had not heard of you guys before, so I have a bit of a concern with giving you my credit card number and e-mail address, etc. We've all heard stories about Internet spam and credit card misuse, etc. Regards....
  
• 2002/10/15 - Raul Recarey

  Your software was a life saver. Your product is great, but your service is better! Not only did it work as promised and recovered 2 Gigs of very important data, it was an easy process, but getting quick and personalized after-sales-service was just unbelievable.  Killer software that works, instant replies to my questions and $39 bucks...YOU'RE THE MAN!

• 2002/10/07 - Yannis Arnellos

  Your product is excellent . . . Not only I managed to restore my data, but also the program that it was installed on HD worked without to reinstall it. I tried other recovery programs but they couldn't see even one file on the HD.

  Thank you so much!

• 2002/10/04 - Robert Xeno - Indicative Data / Radio-X Technologies

  I am not sure what caused my problems but it started with my C drive, then my D and E and F and finally G all were gone, reformatted! Partition deleted. My email, invoicing, and current development were all gone. I purchased Norton Utilities and after it finally showed me where my files were… I could no longer access the drives! One final attempt at recovery took me to a Yahoo Search result for several companies and recovery products. Fortunately there was something about your search result that caught my eye. I downloaded File Scavenger v2 and within 5 minutes, I was looking at my files. With the recovery panel waiting for my License Number, I purchased the software online, copied the number into the waiting recovery panel and an hour later I have almost 10 gigabytes of data restored!

  Thank you so much!

• 2002/09/26 - Mary Fiore - Avaya Inc.

  Thanks for creating File Scavenger! It worked just great for recovering files that were accidentally deleted and recycled by a departing employee. I appreciate the fact that the demo version allowed me to make sure I would be able to find the exact files I was looking for--before purchasing the license. The $40 license fee saved us many many hours of work.

• 2002/09/07 - Nicolas Mansour

  Hi,

  I just purchased a personal license for Scavenger 2.0 to recover data from a hard drive whose partition was deleted. Your product worked GREAT. Thank God and thank you for making such wonderful reasonably priced product. I looked around at other companies web sites and the cheapest I found was about $200.00. I purchased your product for $39.95 and it worked perfect.

  Thanks again and keep up the great work

  Subject: Sooner or later this message will be important to you.
  
  Last week we had a hard disk disaster on one of our camera systems. Normally our data is written to the server after each patient but because this was a screening project, the data was not transferred till the end of the day. Well we were ready to transfer, but the disk wasn't. About 60% transferred but the rest of the data could not be read off the disk. :-(
  The data was on the D partition and C was running normally.
  The computer is running windows 2000 with NTFS formatting.
  Chkdsk didn't recognize the problem.
  Norton Utilities saw the problem files and tried to correct it. After it was done the whole drive wasn't recognized by Windows.
  I was not feeling very good about our chances of recovery at this point.
  We were starting to consider disk recovery services rather than reschedule our patients.
  On the Internet I found several disk recovery programs and tried them out. Most of them did not help, as they could not see the D drive or any files.
  Enter File Scavenger from Que Tek. I downloaded their demo and did an extended search for the lost file types and it found everything and even duplicated the directory structure on a networked drive.
  > A $40 program. Well worth the money.
  
• 2002/08/05 - Merlene Paynter Blacha - Canada
  I purchased File Scavenger 2.0 a few days ago after I accidentally reformatted a partition.
  ...
  I have to say that of the 4 demo version of data recovery programs, I found only File Scavenger could retrieve my files so I was very pleased with the product.
  Thanks,
  Merlene Blacha

  Thank you. I will try it out. By the way, your product works beautifully. We will probably buy a few corporate licenses for our servers shortly.

• 2002/07/24 Christopher Pavan - General Dynamics
  I have shown my site IT director your software. I also purchased a Pro Lic. We will probably be buying a site license or maybe a 5 pack. The reason is because of your awesome support with my personal copy and the effectiveness of the software. Thanks again.
  
• 2002/07/23 Michael Jones
  I have already (before sending in my machine) rescued invaluable information from my drive, including irreplaceable photos, work records, and personal data. This product has already paid for itself, at least in terms of peace of mind if nothing else.

  Hello.
  I just purchased a technician license for File Scavenger 2.0 and have some questions/suggestions.
  First, please accept my compliments on the program: it's nicely done.
  I intend to use File Scavenger in a computer forensics setting and there are three features that I haven't yet found in the program. If indeed they don't exist, please accept the questions as suggestions for inclusion in a future version.
  <... long comments edited out ... >
  In any event, regardless of whether these suggestions are implemented, thank you for turning out a solid, useful application.

  I have now used the updated FileScavanger you sent me and it has worked nicely! The files I was seeking to recover have been recovered - marvelous!
  I'll need to save them, reinstall the whole system and then use them to update new email set-ups for each user, but my major concern that all the individual settings and lots of email were lost has now been alleviated.
  Thank you!
  Paul.

  "To the developers of File Scavenger:

  Last evening, one of my employees was deleting some files from our NT Processing System. Somehow, unknown to her or me, she wiped out the most important folder on our entire system. It contained over 5 GB of critical information. Information that changes faster than we can back it up. When I went to the recycle bin, nothing was there, including the folder. We froze the system and after getting my brain to the point where it would function again, I searched the net for "file recovery & NT". One of the first sites I was presented was your site. I downloaded "File Scavenger" and was able to find every file we had on the system. Thanks to you, we have recovered every bit of information that was lost. We paid with a credit card, but we still owe you a huge amount of gratitude. Thank you from everyone here at Dolphin Software."

• Ola Rennemo, Germany

  "The product works!"

• Marc Hawes, United Kingdom

  "Thanks for your quick reply. Your new Filescav.exe seems to have done the trick! It sailed passed the "hanging" point without me having to look at individual clusters. I have managed to retrieve the files I want. Thank you once again for an excellent product. I have also somehow managed to acquire files that were not even on my hard disc. How is that?!!"

• Leonard Sackler

  "Tried your latest version. It's a winner. Though all the information (the files found on the disk) was available and recovered with the first version, the security of being able to verify the entire disk is incredibly important. By identifying and skipping damaged clusters there is great assurance that I did all I can.

  Thank you for developing, refining and allowing me to try/use your excellent product. I hope you have great fortune with it. I know I would recommend it to anyone."
