Best Free Data Recovery Program

by Johnny Karp 2 August 2008 4 Comments

Good day again, welcome to the Freeware Mission. Today I’m going to pick the best freeware data recovery program, a must have for any PC. A while ago almost any data recovery software was expensive like hell. Now we have freeware programs that can do just what the commercial ones can. Maybe even more.

I was using Recuva for a while, a pretty good freeware program. Searching for the best one I found PC Inspector File Recovery. It’s by far the best free data recovery program, maybe even the best overall.

If you take a quick look through the features you’ll know I’m right. It supports FAT 12, 16 or 31 and NTFS file systems, it finds partitions automatically, even erased or damaged partitions, recovers files even if a header entry isn’t available. With the special recovery function you can search for a specific type of file: .exe, .doc, .avi, etc.

You can download PC Inspector File Recovery from here, it’s free! (hope it will stay free
