ok ive never really recovered a harddrive or deleted files but have already tried a few and cant find any freeware well 1 that allows you 1gb free after that you need to reg,also a lot of them let you scan and find files but then you have to reg just to recover ,,so looking for any freeware if not possible then what is the best value recovery software out there that does the job right and is the cheapest
I have used one backup software and I found its company has one free data recovery software, but it only can recover data at most 1 GB. May be you can download it and have a try. It can do format recovery, unformat and recover deleted files emptied from Recycle Bin or lost data due to partition loss or damage and get data back from RAW hard drives. It is easy to use. However, if you have overwritten you data, it may not help you.
Using free software enable you to recover data to some extent.But recently I have used best recovery software that recovered my emails from outlook.Using best email recovery software helps you to sort out all problems to recover data.Trial version helps you to evaluate the chances of recovery.
Most of the data recovery software either free or paid provides free deleted file data recovery only for 1 gb data and some of them only provide free scan facility to see whether the file recoverable or not. If you only want to recover deleted files, I will suggest you to try Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software because it supports 185 file types. So this is most probability that the software will recover your deleted files. You can purchase it in only $49. But before purchasing it, first try its demo version.
