R-Studio is a comprehensive data recovery and undelete program renowned for its ability to recover mission-critical data lost to viruses, malicious attacks, and hardware failures or operating system crashes. It supports FAT12/16/32, NTFS, NTFS5, UFS1/UFS2 (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD), Ext2FS/3FS (Linux) file systems and functions on local and network disks, even if partitions are formatted, damaged or deleted. New additional file recovery algorithm increases the quality of file recovery and recovers files not recognized in file system metadata. Dynamic disk and RAID are supported as well as recovering encrypted files, compressed files and alternative data streams. Disk and files content can be viewed and edited in the hexadecimal editor, which supports NTFS file-attribute editing. Extended Viewer Plugin allows viewing a content of the found files to estimate recovery chances prior to purchasing. Flexible parameter settings give you absolute control over data recovery.

This utility simply works. I tried other recovery programs when my hard drive failed with 80,000+ music files. R-Studio was the only one that recovered them all.

This is the ONLY recovery application of all the dozens i've tried that first of all doesn't make me feel like a total idiot using it, and that actually DOES find all those lost files with a simple and very quick scan of the drive, which presents the found files in a windows-like tree. 6 / 5 (Beyond compare)

This is the best recovery program I have ever used. I have recovered files from damaged disks that programs have even failed to recognise the existence of the disk that the files are on.

This application is the best of its kind but remember to always backup important data on a regular basis and in case you haven't followed the aforementioned advice STOP writing anything to your HDDs(logical drives) as soon as you have noticed your data has been lost.
One caveat: R-Studio (true as for 2.X version) is unable to restore any files from ext3fs (linux) partitions. This situation might have changed since that time.

I havent tried the 3.x versions but I have experience with 2.x versions. Never had a problem with it, it cannot restore EVERY file, but thats how it works. It works most of the times tho, I never had a problem with files I really need to recover :) And another cool thing if you just sitting around doing nothing is to search for deleted files and see what things you deleted 6 month ago or even longer. 5 of 5 for being the best recover-software out there, my opinion.
