File Scavenger is the full-featured, award-winning data recovery tool and file undeleter for NTFS volumes on Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows NT. File Scavenger can recover files unintentionally deleted, including files removed from the Recycled Bin, in a DOS window, from a network drive, from Windows Explorer with the SHIFT key held down, provided that recovery is attempted before the files are permanently overwritten by Windows. File Scavenger supports both basic and dynamic disks, NTFS compression, alternate data streams, sparse files, etc. Except in severe cases, both the file and the folder path leading to the file can be recovered. With File Scavenger, files can be recovered from reformatted or corrupted volumes. This is even possible when a volume has been deleted and its original position on disk and size are unknown. Using the exclusive Defunct Volume Search mode, File Scavenger can scan an entire physical hard drive to look for traces of defunct volumes. Also in this mode, files can be recovered from broken striped volumes (i.e. RAID 0 or RAID 5) provided that the component physical drives are still accessible individually. (For striped set with parity or RAID 5, one drive can be missing.) This version is for hard drive installation. Warning: Always verify the integrity of recovered files to make sure the file contents are still intact.
