Just used this program to recover files from a damaged HDD. Thanks Piriform.
I then conducted a bit of a test, comparing Recuva with File Scavenger. Nothing too scientific. I placed eight files onto a flash drive (2 Word Docs, 1 Excel Doc, 1 Text File, 1 Reg file, 1 jpg file, 1 pdf file and 1 Mp3 file.
First of all I simply deleted the files. Both Recuva and File Scavenger found and recovered them all.
Next I formatted the drive (quick format). Recuva found and recovered 6 of the eight with File Scavenger only finding 4!
It's not always a case of 'you get what you pay for'.
Well done Piriform keep up the good work.
