The installation process does not last very long, as it does not offer you to download any third-party products.

In addition to that, extensive Help contents are supported thus ensuring that all types of users can find their way around it, regardless of their previous experience with the IT world.

This tool offers two types of scans, so that you can find the files that interest you. To be more precise, you can choose between a standard method and a more advances one. While the first enables you to find most deleted items, the latter lets you retrieve files and formats from formatted volumes and deleted or lost partitions.

All recovered items can be viewed in the main window as a folder structure, as well as a list, along with details such as name, extension, status, size and modified date. You can also bring up further properties, view the hex algorithm and save it to the computer, display logs in a separate pane and save them to the HDD in a LOG format.

A search function is also integrated and you can create a drive image using a DIF file extension, with just a click of the button. S.M.A.R.T. attributes for your hard disk can be brought up, so that you can easily check the health of your computer.
