| Common
tasks and solutions - Pick the right tool for the job (use
the product wizard) |
There are several scenarios where any of our tools will be able to
help you, but keep the following in mind:
| Important:
If you need to recover files that were accidentally
deleted from your system drive (normally c:), recover
them as quickly as possible. Deleted files may
become unrecoverable almost instantly. We recommend
you purchase iUndelete (using a
different PC) rather than first trying the demo (or
3rd party demos). If iUndelete fails to recover your
files we will
refund. |
iUndelete supports all Windows file systems but
doesn't support damaged volumes, DiskPatch
does not salvage individual files but repairs disk
structures, and iRecover is the most comprehensive
of all products: it does undelete, partition- and
unformat recovery, can handle bad disks, and it
supports most common file systems.
For iRecover and iUndelete you will need a
spare disk (or volume) to restore lost data to,
for DiskPatch you do not unless you will be cloning a disk.
If you are unable to boot your system, you will need an
alternative system to create a boot disk.
DiskPatch can be run from a boot diskette or boot CD/DVD; everything
you need to create a bootable diskette or CD/DVD is
included.

| Goal/Task |
Description |
Solution(s) |
| Partition
recovery |
A
partition was (accidentally) deleted or otherwise lost. |
You
can undelete the partition using DiskPatch
OR you can salvage data from the deleted partition using iRecover. |
| Partition
undelete |
A
partition was (accidentally) deleted or otherwise lost. |
You
can undelete the partition using DiskPatch.
DiskPatch will scan your disk and re-enter the partition in
the partition table. |
| Partition
table repair |
Partitions
disappeared due to partition table damage. |
DiskPatch
can be used to scan your disk and rebuild a valid partition
table. This is by far the most convenient way to recover
data from this type of damage. |
File
undelete, unerase,
deleted file recovery |
A
file was (accidentally) deleted from the recycle bin, by an
application or process, or from a command prompt. |
iUndelete will be the easiest way to deal with this, if the volumes are intact. If volumes are corrupted or inaccessible, use
iRecover. |
| Unformat recovery,
file
recovery, data recovery, file restore |
Common symptoms are
disks showing up as 'not formatted', 'unformatted' or 'RAW'. Windows may ask 'do you want to
format it now?' |
Use
iRecover
to recover the data. It doesn't matter how
data was lost, iRecover will scan a disk and make
recoverable data available to you. |
| Recover
data from a disk with read errors, or bad sectors |
Symptoms can
vary; Windows being sluggish, or lock ups. A disk may be
partially accessible, or not at all. |
Both
DiskPatch and
iRecover
are capable of dealing with 'bad' disks. DiskPatch clones
bad disks. iRecover allows tuning of disk access
parameters to adapt to bad disks, then read the data. |
| Recover
images from a memory card, digital image rescue, photo
recovery |
Memory
card was corrupted, formatted, or images were accidentally
deleted. |
iRecover
offers 'image recovery mode'; tailored to retrieve lost images
from memory cards. |
| Recover
data from a broken RAID 0 array |
Not
all RAID 0 adapters are as robust as you'd like, RAID
configuration data is easily lost. |
Use
iRecover to automatically
retrieve RAID configuration data. iRecover will then allow
you to salvage files as if you were recovering them from a
normal disk. |
| Recover
data from a broken RAID 5 array |
Data
recovery from a (degraded) RAID 5 array is complex. Often
array parameters such as stripe size and rotation are unknown. |
Use
iRecover to automatically
retrieve RAID configuration data. RAID 5 arrays can be
processed even if a member is missing. iRecover is capable of
processing hardware RAID and Microsoft Windows RAID (dynamic
disks). |

| What users say (on Cnet.com) |
"I successfully recovered all data from a 147GB data
partition with iRecover. Then with DiskPatch I (i) rectified
the drive geometry, (ii) fully restored the whole 147GB data
partition, (iii) fully restored the XP Pro partition and
(iv) now have the 320GB SATA II disk booting again! Great
set of must have tools."
|
"iRecover got 100% of my deleted files back in less than 45 minutes. I
downloaded and tried all the tools I could find. They would not find anything
on my quadruple formatted HD. This thing REALLY works. And did I mention you
don't have to do any renaming? It kept all my original files intact with their
true directory folder and names."
