The Digital Photographer's Software Guide
Description
File Scavenger lets you recover files that have been accidentally deleted, but it is also a
full data recovery program. It can rescue files even when the volume in question has
been deleted and its original position and size are no longer known. You can install the
software on another hard drive or run it from a portable device such as a memory stick.
Like all recovery software, it can only recover files that have not been overwritten by
new data. However, on computers with sufficient RAM it can scan extremely large volumes
holding hundreds of megabytes of data.
Comments
File Scavenger can be used to recover data from hard disks, floppy disks, ZIP disks,
memory sticks, flash cards, and RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks). If
Windows says your files are corrupted, all may not be lost if you run this utility. In most
cases, it will recover more files than you would have thought possible. The vendor is a
well-known specialist in RAID rescue, offering recovery services of all kinds, including
remote assistance and both remote and offsite recovery.

IsoBuster
Vendor: Smart Projects
Purpose: Recovers data from optical media such as CD, DVD, BD, and HD DVD drives
Description
From Smart Projects, IsoBuster is a highly specialized program for recovering data from
CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and high density DVD drives. In other words, it recovers from optical
media. It supports all the relevant formats and common file systems, far too numerous
to mention here. It lets you mount the media and gives you access to all the file
systems that are present, not just those that are shown selectively by a standard operating
system. If you are having problems with your backup or archive disks, IsoBuster is
a natural choice.
