- 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

recuva and broken hard drives

about Recuva and TestDisk · Sep 2011 · Helpful Not helpful 2 Helpful Report as spam

Just to let you know that recuva is indeed a good software, but in my case it wasn't able to scan a broken/defectuous hard drive (recuva just hang), where TestDisk was able to perform a full recovery.
