    Probably one of the best freeware undelete tools available. Very simple and easy to use for recovering deleted files.

    But for recovering lost files/partitions, I'd recommend TestDisk, and for damaged files/drive, I recommend GetDataBack.

    @Zoroaster: The slim version doesn't include the toolbar but still requires one to install the program, while the portable version doesn't require any installation.

    AVerage quality tool, treeview mode is very limited as it do not show properties of files, you must click each file and see the details tab.

    It use too much memory comparing other undelete tools. Tested on a small FAT32 40GB partition with 30.000 files and 10.000 deleted files, during scanning it growed up to 350MB RAM+ 250MB swap. After the scan it shrinked down to 100MB RAM+100MB swap.
