5 Free Data Recovery Tools

1. Recuva
It is a free data recovery software from piriform, the
same team that gave us ccleaner and defragler.
It is simple and easy to use.
Capable of recovering files deleted from recycle bins,
memory cards and other portable device.
It also has a deep scan mode where your chances of
getting the data back is even better.
Regarding compatibility, it runs good upto windows
7 32-bit. Haven’t tested it with windows 8 yet.
It is also available as a portable version i.e you can
run it directly from the downloaded file which is
definitely an advantage!



2. Pandora Recovery
It is also capable of recovering permanently deleted
files from your hard drives.

recoverable images and texts from your harddrives.
There is an option called as surface scan where you
can search for files from a corrupted or reformatted
partitions.
There is also a helpful wizard which can guide you
through the recovery processes.
It is compatible up to windows 7

currently available.
It has a simple interface with a few but powerful
options.
A scan button to scan for recoverable files.
You can also search for a specific file by typing the
file name in the search box.
There is also a wipe button which can permanently
delete the recoverable files from any partition except
the drive where your OS is installed.



4. Free UnDelete
It is just another simple tool for data recovery.
Supports various file systems such as NTFS 1.0,
NTFS 2.0, FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32.
Available both in portable as well as installer

5. Avira UnErase Personal
Avira UnErase personal is a bit older than the other
tools listed here but still works good.
It supports file systems such as NTFS 1.0, NTFS 2.0,
FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 like others.
