File Phoenix will scan a selected drive and list all files
which are possibly recoverable. You can then select one or
more files and recover them to another drive.
File Phoenix also allows you to:
1) View the first 4096 bytes of a file before
recovering it.
2) View each cluster of an erased FAT file and
decide whether you want to recover it or skip
it. This is especially useful when recovering
files who's clusters were not contiguous.
Both HPFS and FAT drives are supported. For HPFS, however,
all allocated sectors must be scanned in order to find
erased files. This means that scanning HPFS drives will
require significantly more time than scanning FAT drives.
NOTE: even if all bytes of an erased file are recovered,
there is no guarantee that the *correct* bytes are
recovered. That is, if a sector of the erased file
was overwritten, the wrong data would be recovered.
The less activity on the drive since the time the
file was erased, the better the chances that the
entire file will be correctly recovered.
NOTE: I haven't tested recovering files from compressed
disks (e.g. disks compressed with Stacker ).
Reports from other users, however, indicate that
that recovery of such files does work.
