| Common
tasks and solutions - Pick the right tool for the job |
There are several scenarios where any of our tools will be able to
help you, but keep the following in mind:
iRescue only supports NTFS,
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, iRescue 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. iRecover
can be run from a bootable Windows XP CD; use BartPE builder
to create one. Read more about creating a Windows
boot CD with BartPE here. |
| 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 iRescue
or 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
iRescue or
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
either iRecover or iRescue
to recover the data. Neither program cares how
data was lost, they will just 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.
This mode is free to use! |
| 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 ... |
"I
successfully recovered all data from a 147GB data partition with iRecover. Then with DiskPatch I
(i) rectified the drive geometry, (ii)
fully recovered the whole 147GB data partition, (iii) fully recovered
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 almost all the other tools on here.
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."
