Suggest Free HDD Partition Recovery software.

[PraKs]

Friends,

Relative of mine formatted WD HDD of 1 TB unknowingly. It had around 5 partitions. It got formatted by Windows default format tool & was never overwritten luckily.

I am looking for software to install on Windows 7 which can recover all these partitions by connecting this formatted HDD

Few questions,
- If partitions are recovered, will it have "ALL" the data in it ? Or again I need to run Data recovery tool to recover individual files.

Few free tools Google Suggested
EASEUS Partition Recovery 5.0.1 - Website says it will Recover accidentally deleted partition but will NOT recover files from deleted & lost partition.
EASEUS NTFS partition data recovery

Please suggest a FREE tool which can recover complete partition with all types of files & files above 1 GB in size.

you can find out about data recovery softwares at
techsupportalert.com
its a good site

but i don't think you can get any free data recovery softwares which recover >1Gb

google "PHOTOREC"

 

[thetechfreak]

try recuva for recovering data

partion - use the one you found

both are freeware,search Google for download

 

[funkysourav]

please please dont use Recuva
it is crap
as i said earlier "Photorec" may be your only hope
google it

PhotoRec is the tool for Digital Picture only right ? I need to recover all kind of files.

 

[funkysourav]

Photorec can recover anything

 

[thetechfreak]

Guys,

What I am thinking is if I can use a tool & recover whole partition then will it recover all the files in that partition too ?

Use Easeus Data Recovery app - it's very good and I've recovered vanished partion with this one 2-3 times and it kept all data intact only catch is it's not freeware !

 

[thetechfreak]

best paid app like you want according to me-

Stellar Data Phoenix Recovery.

 

[topgear]

IS Easeus Data Recovery is very good topgear???
Actually, I also want to have a nice Data recovery app...
NO matter's free or I've to purchase that...
But I just want a complete application..
Any more suggestions???

As I've told you before I've used this and it's the best data/partion recovery app according to me - saved my precious data 2-3 times and I just love this app.

hello
to recover whole partitions i would suggest Testdisk Testdisk recover partitions

to recover deleted files i would suggest PC Inspector File Recovery:
restore deleted files
both Tools are free of charge

for some other recover tools take a look at:
free Datarecovery Software

^^ tuilo post though referring to a single website it can't be called a spam post.

@ tuilo - Edit your post and if possible post original webpage link of those apps.

@topgear
Will free version able to recover file size of above 1 GB ?

Its of no use checking posts of people with less then 3 posts in forum. Most are spammers

 

[topgear]

I have not used a trial version of that app but if the trial version has 1GB restriction then I think it's can't be done.

 

[PraKs]

Is there anyone who used software - Find & Mount ?

 

[topgear]

I have not used it but it looks to be a good and easy to use app but the free version has speed limitation for scanning and does it recovers lost files as well or only partition ??

 

[PraKs]

Thanks.. Have two choices now.

Partition Find and Mount: Download

&

TestDisk - CGSecurity

Give your views which works best for partition recovery.

I've used test disk and it's has no GUI - you have to use all commands using command line console and I found it's quite uneasy to work with.

No experience about Partition Find and Mount though - still I would strongly recommend using Easeus Data Recovery app
