User Note:
You need "administrator account" to run DataRecovery at WinNT/2000/XP/Vista.
To wipe out deleted files, DataRecovery directly write NULL to disc.
On FAT volume, first character of the file name is sometimes overwritten by delete-code on deletion. In that case the lost character is replaced by "$" on the list displayed.
On Windows Vista, Never to destroy OS, you can Not wipe files in system drive.
Norton UnErase keeps DataRecovery from scanning deleted files.
Total wiping on system drive might cause serious problem.
"Full scan" for NTFS is effective in such a case where you quick-formatted drives. But this would take long time, so try it only when you could not find wanted files through normal scan.

Install and Uninstall:


Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch DataRecovery.exe. DataRecovery doesn’t need to be installed. Just unpack the archive you downloaded and it’s runnable.
