📀 Does the program recover data after reinstalling Windows or resetting the computer to its initial state?

This utility is designed to recover data from deleted partitions and repartitioned disks. Follow these steps: Abort the Windows installation or reset operation. Connect the drive to another computer if you cannot boot the operating system. Use Full Analysis for the entire physical device to restore data from previously deleted partitions.

🖥️ Can I access files on a VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox virtual hard disk?

To connect disks with the extension like * .vmdk, * .vhdx, * .vdi, use the menu Tools - Mount disk. After connecting, you can select this disk in the program for analysis and data recovery.

💽 My computer does not display a hard drive or an external USB drive. How can I copy files?

The program can analyze a failed device that is not showing up in Windows Explorer. The list of physical devices is under the list of logical partitions. Select your drive and wait for the analysis to complete.

⌛ If I pay for the program now, how long will it take before I receive my registration data?

It depends on the payment method you use. If you order online with your credit card or PayPal, you will receive the registration key immediately after payment.

What are the requirements for successful data recovery?

For successful recovery, you must stop using the storage device until the necessary files are fully restored. If it is an external drive, memory card or flash drive, then connect it to the PC and analyze them using our program. If the data is deleted as a result of formatting the system disk, resetting the operating system or reinstalling Windows, then stop further installation of the operating system and programs. Connect the drive to another computer and perform recovery operations. Recovered files must be saved to a different drive.

⏱️ How long does it take to recover my data?

Data recovery can take a long time if you work with a disk larger than 1 terabyte. Faulty drives can also be scanned for a long time. However, in most cases, recovery takes less than 30 minutes.
