DiskDigger goes well beyond the usual undelete utility that'soffered gratis as a leader product, though as of version 0.8 itdoes that. It will also dig 'beneath the file system' (Dmitry'sline, which I plan to borrow regularly in the future) to recoverdata on a sector-by-sector basis from hard drives, thumb drives,etc. (Think of sectors as little boxes containing data that arearranged in tracks/circles on your hard drive.)
DiskDigger couldn't be easier to use. Select a drive, select thetypes of files to be recovered (jpeg, mp3, documents, etc.) thenclick next. I actually had a brand new partition-trashed hard driveon hand to test DiskDigger with. To be honest, I wasn't expecting afree program to recognize the hard drive, let alone recover datafrom it. My bad. It found files--and recovered them.
My only complaint is that if the type of file you're looking torecover using a sector scan (it will undelete any file type) isn'tin the DiskDigger's list, it won't find it. Common types that aremissing are Outlook personal folders and text files. There shouldbe a '*.*' option or the ability to define file types. Still, manycommon file types are there and that should cover the majority ofhome users.
New for version 0.8.1 is the ability to search ISO disk imagesfor missing or existing files. You may now also limit a search to alogical drive (some disks are partitioned into multiple logicaldrives: C:, D:, E:, etc.) instead scanning the entire physicaldrive. DiskDigger is a free, easy-to-use recovery program that inmany cases works as well as EasyRecoveryProfessional, Active@ FileRecovery, etc. If you need to recover data, your mouse shouldrun, not walk, to the download link.
