ReviveR description
ReviveR - ecover deleted files even if the files were deleted from the recycle bin

Tech Assists' ReviveR can recover deleted files even if the files were deleted from the recycle bin, or if applications (which normally bypass the recycle bin) deleted the files. ReviveR can also recover lost files even after a complete format. ReviveR is a safe, effective and read-only data recovery solution.

Here are some key features of "ReviveR":

· ReviveR is designed to work under Microsoft Windows XP / 2003
· Supported file system: NTFS 3.1 (as formatted by XP and up)
· Unique Validation Engine, allows predicting the recoverability of files
· Protects data from being overwritten while working with the program
· Includes a free FAT module for legacy FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 file system support! This version is free for registered ReviveRTM NTFS users and is not sold separately.
· Deleted File Recovery (Undelete) Mode
· Lost File Recovery (Unformat) Mode for recovering files even after a complete format
· Recovers from any NTFS formatted storage media.



Recovery Modes

Undelete Mode:
Select this mode if you are trying to recover files that were deleted (i.e. files that are no longer in the recycle bin, or have been deleted by applications, deleted while holding SHIFT-key, or other accidental actions). The partition that contains the deleted files must be accessible and un-damaged.
If 'Deleted file recovery' was selected ReviveRTM will only show NTFS formatted drives.

Unformat Mode:
Select this mode when partitions have been reformatted. In this mode ReviveRTM will discard the 'active' file system and scan the drive for file system structures. This scan will take time. Based on scan results ReviveRTM will try to reconstruct a file system in memory from which files can then be recovered.

In the next step ReviveRTM will display all logical drives (including NTFS, but also FAT/32) and physical drives. This is done so that you can select a newly formatted FAT partition that was previously formatted as NTFS. So, even when a non-NTFS drive is selected from the list, ReviveRTM will still treat it as an NTFS formatted drive!

ReviveR can be used to recover files from:

· Accidental file deletion, even after the Windows Recycle Bin has been emptied
· Delete actions that bypassed the Recycle Bin (files deleted by applications or from a command prompt)
· Volumes that were (accidentally) formatted
· Various other types of volume corruption



Limitations:

· A message box is displayed with each file you copy.
· You can not copy entire folders and their contents.
· There is a 3 second delay before copying starts.
· You can only select and copy one file at the time.
· Nag screen
