DiskInternals Partition Recovery is designed to recover data from partitions inaccessible due to such causes as accidental deletion, bad sectors, virus attacks and power failure. Fortunately, the tool allows recovering files from different types of storage devices, such as hard drives, solid-state drives, flash drives and memory cards. It also supports almost any of the most commonly used file systems (FAT, NTFS, UDS, REFS, XFS, EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4).
The tool's interface is quite user-friendly. In this sense, if the normal mode is a bit difficult for you, you can resort to a wizard, which will guide you through each of the steps. In addition, you can consult the on-screen help or the online documentation.
The first step for recovery is to select the source, which can be logical or physical. Other possibilities include mounting an image, mapping a virtual partition or connecting through a server. It is fortunate that the program supports three different recovery modes: Uneraser, Full Recovery and Reader. Similarly, there are two scam modes, Quick and Deep. The data search process, consequently, may take more or less time according to the selected mode.
Once the scan is finished, it is possible to browse the found data by folders and file types. In this regard, the possibility to preview the contents of the files is very convenient. Probably the best way to recover the desired data is to use the Export Wizard, which allows you to save the files, mount a partition on the system or upload them to an FTP server. It is a pity that the recovery of large amounts of data may take longer than expected, so the user may have the feeling that something is not working properly.
In a nutshell, DiskInternals Partition Recovery is undoubtedly one of the best tools of its kind. In this sense, it can help retrieve important data thought to be lost beyond recovery. It is fortunate that a trial version is available, despite its limited features. There are various licenses available: Personal, Business and Pro.
