• Discontinued This software was developed almost 2 decades ago by Alexander Grau. It was then known as DriveRescue. Although still available from Convar, it is now obsolete IMO. It is basically the same and unchanged since release. It does not even request elevation (required to access disks under Windows XP and up) and crashes even on smaller hard disks. Software is also not compatible with any recent Windows versions. See http://pcinspector.de/FileRecovery/faq.htm?po=3
