Sometimes in the world of free software, you have to make the best of what’s available. Sometimes what’s available isn’t all that great. When I suddenly lost some critical data as a result of a corrupted drive, I thought I’d have to shell out some potentially serious cash for a high-quality recovery utility. In my research to find the right program, I came across mention of TestDisk, an amazingly handy free utility which has saved me from the loss of a lot of data (not to mention a rather angry spouse). It’s a command line tool so there’s no fancy GUI, but the menu-driven interface makes the recovery process quite simple, and it can handle FAT, NTFS, ext2-4, and more.

Recover Your Lost Data With Easeus Data Recovery Wizard + Free Giveaway
By | January 7, 2010 |
Most of you would think that if you back up your data regularly, they would be safe. Sound logical, isn’t it? The idea of data backup is that if the main hard drive fails, you still have another one to take its place. But what happen if your backup hard drive crashes as well?
Last month, after I have backed up my data, I reformatted my PC and installed a new Linux distro. When I plug in the backup hard drive to restore the data, the hard drive crashed on me. That must be the worst thing that ever happens to me, and yes, ALL MY DATA WERE GONE.
To cut the long story short, I went in search of a data recovery software and Easeus Data Recovery Wizard just appears right there in the top of the search result. I give it a try and it WORKS. If you are in the same shoe as me, you need to give this software a try.
