Support is handled through our Support Forum. The following rules apply:

• Include a thorough description of the actions that led to the problem. If you can, describe briefly what you think caused the problem.
• Include a description of the running OS (Windows 9x / ME / NT / 200X / XP / Vista / Win7/8 or OS/2 or Linux etc.), including version information, Service Pack levels and the file-system (FAT, NTFS, etc.) in use.
• When you are dealing with MBR, partition table and boot sector related issues, please create a DiskPatch SUPPORT ANALYSIS LOGFILE. Typical symptoms of such issues are entire drives and partitions that can't be accessed. If you have already performed repairs, include the DiskPatch log file(s) in the support request.
• Include relevant information such as descriptions of symptoms and actual (error) messages that are displayed when trying to access the data, file system etc. If you have lost partitions, describe the partitions as they were before the problems occurred.
• When relevant, include hardware information (internal/external controller, array information etc.) if you think it has any bearing on the problem at hand.
• We do not send attachments to free email accounts! If for any reason we need to send zipped executables, you must provide us with an email address capable of receiving zipped attachments larger than 1 Mb.

If you prefer email you can send your support request to DIY DataRecovery support.

If your support request concerns DiskPatch:
If you have already performed a repair but need additional assistance, please include the contents of the most relevant log file. In general this will be the most recent log file (DP.LOG), but it may also be an older log file if you have restarted DiskPatch.
Please do not include irrelevant information or files (such as the state files or old log files) unless we specifically ask for them.

Downloading and using the DiskPatch Trial version, posting the log file and asking for our recommendations is all free of charge.

Another well known cause for emails not reaching the customer is spam filters. In most cases were we received emails asking us why the registration emails are not sent after the purchase verification had completed, the problem could be traced back to spam filters: the mail was sent but rejected on the side of the customer.

Finally (and this should be obvious but if you count the number of problems we have seen with this it apparently is not): make sure you type your email address correctly.

STEP 1: Find your order details here.

STEP 2: Submit your request for resending a lost serial number to DIY DataRecovery support.
Make sure to include the order number!

We consider download signing to be useless for the following reason: Anyone can purchase a certificate which can then be used to sign downloads, no questions asked. That would include people with bad intentions. As such signed downloads offer no real additional security, which renders the concept useless. In addition, for smaller companies (such as DIY DataRecovery.nl) it is very difficult (and costly) to obtain a license to sign your software. The irony of this does not escape us, and therefore we do not support signing.

DIY DataRecovery guarantees that all downloads offered on this website are safe and free of malware!
You can verify that the download has not been tampered with by checking the SHA hash values, look at the downloads page for more information.

We suggest you always verify any software you download using a virus- and spyware scanner. If you do not have a virus scanner installed you can use an online scanner, but this is no substitute for a locally installed on-access scanner.

Version numbering:

To identify versions of our software we use the VRM numbering method. This means that the number consists of a Version number, a Release number and a Modification number.

• The Version number (v.r.m) changes when major functional changes to the program are introduced.
• The Release number (v.r.m.) changes when minor functional changes and/or major corrective changes to the program are introduced.
• The Modification number (v.r.m) changes when minor and/or major corrective changes to the program are introduced.
