Hi guys. I am a developer of this free tool. Let me clarify the 'hard drive' recovery. The software is able to restore accidentally deleted files from built-in hard disk drives as long as two the following conditions are met:

Excellent product. Recovered two files from flash memory. Simple and efficient, and no installation

Odd The download says it is Version V1.2.0.0 |
DataRecovery recovers deleted files even if they have been purged from the recycle bin. You can also search for deleted files by partial string in the filename. The program supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, EFS filesystems.
Alternatively, for files that should not be recoverable, the program includes a wipe feature.

I prefer to use Recuva. But, It can't find the files which is deleted using Shift+Delete key. I wonder if there is any freeware can recover that files...

Last time, when my external hard drive became RAW and needed to be formatted without rescuing anything inside out, I had tried many data recovery software online. After really long time scanning and trying, luckily, I eventually rescued most of my drive stuffs back with data recovery software here: http://freeware-fix.blogspot.com/2013/02/raw-external-hdd-ntfs.html |
NTFSWalker is a simple, straightforward utility for analyzing NTFS partitions on any media readable by your computer, showing deleted files, regular files, as well as file preview and detailed attributes for each file.
A program by the same developer is available for FAT partitions.

Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier allows you to copy files from disks and CDs with problems such as bad sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put them back together. Using this method, most types of files can be made usable even if some parts were not recoverable in the end.
See the website for earlier versions that support Win9x through NT.

I just discovered that despite what I said earlier, you can copy a single file. This is a must-have utility for rescuing DVD's with CRC errors, among other things.

Way more informative than the standard copy. For a 20 GB file copied over a slow USB 1.0 - 12 mbps connection, a simple progress bar won't do. Microslop should take note.

^ My external hd is 3 years old, dunno why WD would use USB 1.0/1.1 instead of 2.0 !! |
CD Recovery Toolbox helps recover damaged files from CD, DVD, HD DVD, Blu-Ray etc. You can use it to restore information lost as a result of some mechanical damage of the disk (scratches, chips, different spots on the surface) or as a result of incorrect recording. Thus, the program can recover data that was considered lost, depending on the degree and location of the damage.

Right! Universal Extractor can't extract the installer... Any idea??!! |
Undelete Plus is a quick and effective way to retrieve accidentally deleted files, files removed from the Recycle Bin, in a DOS window, from a network drive, from Windows Explorer with the SHIFT key held down. Since release 2.8 it can clean the disk (free space, cluster tips and directory entries).
Note: Undelete Plus has gone payware. As such, I have made the version I have available for direct download. Please see comments for more download links contributed by donald.

Of course these are minor nitpicks and do not decimate the value of the application. If recovering your files are a life and death situation than this should be the last thing on your mind.

DO NOT USE - Total waste of $40 - customer service offensive after I could not get their program to work. I kid you not!

Honestly, when you accidentally delete something important off from your memory card or hard drive, the best solution to take them all back is to copy them back from your prepare drive or card data backups. Therefore, making data backups is really important. |
Roadkil's Undelete lets you undelete files that you have accidentally deleted from your drives. It supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS filesystems.

Bad Link, I get: |
ADRC Data Recovery Tools contains a collection of data recovery tools that supports a wide variety drives and file systems. It enables you to undelete files, create a disk image for backup, restore a backup image, copy files from hard disk with bad sectors, clone a disk, backup/edit/restore your boot parameters etc. As with most tools of this nature, administrator privileges are required to use the tools.
Note: ADRC Data Recovery Tools has the annoying habit of opening its user guide on the web in the web browser on startup. This behaviour cannot be disabled. It is not as stealthy as phoning home without your knowledge, but can be irritating.

It doesn't produce a bit-stream copy (forensic safe). I restored a forensic safe image of a drive and then create an image with this software. I computed the hash values for the images, they don't match. I am albeit leary of this.

I think to produce a forensic copy, you will need to connect the drive to a write block device. You can not use software this way to produce a forensic image.

Note 2: apart from being irritating, it kinda defies the whole purpose of data recovery... |
Pandora Recovery helps to recover permanently deleted files that cannot be found in the Recycle Bin. The program works with NTFS, NTFS5 and NTFS/EFS partitions. You can preview deleted files of certain type (images and text files) without performing recovery. A deep cluster scan mode is also available that is able to recover files whose MFT record has been overwritten, or when the file allocation table is missing or corrupted. In addition, Pandora Recovery supports recovery of archived, hidden, system, sparse, encrypted and compressed files, as well as ADS (Alternate Data Streams).
The program will ask you to fill up a survey upon exit when you run it for the first time, which you can skip by clicking the "Close" button.
Note: Latest version of this program is ad-supported and has not been tested for portability. A mirror for the 1.4 version has been contributed post in forums (thanks NickR).

zylstra: Sometimes the developer makes changes to their program that aren't free or portable, which we of course don't have any control over. In the case of Pandora, we tried to find a mirror or host for the old version without success.

FileExtractor is a tool for recovering files from a binary data source such as digital cameras, partitions, hard drives, memory sticks or floppy disks. It also works on Linux partitions and image-files. It is possible to use the extractor itself (configurable to search certain types of file) or a wizard, specially in order to recover data from devices.
Note: If recovering a device, the program works by creating an independent image before attempting recovery. However, this is not the case when searching the internals of files.
