@comcast.net | What is the best data recovery software?
I need to recover data off my non booting drive and I was wondering what is the best software for the job?
Also which software offers a boot disk utility? |

| Easy Recovery Pro, if the data isn't corrupt and the drive just won't boot then slave it to a good drive and copy and paste your data.

| Assuming you can just make the drive a slave then I would try:PC INSPECTOR File Recovery mostly becuase it is free. |

| reply to datarecovery Does anyone know how many file types Pc Inspector file Recovery and Restoration actually are capable of recovering? Are they as good as a program like Easy Recovery Pro or Recover My Files? As far as how many file types they will recover. |

2 edits | reply to datarecovery Here is professional (but free) software MHDD: »mhddsoftware.com/. As so as you have non booting drive, probably, it is the strongest software for this task today, because it does not use BIOS. Here is a related Forum: »mhddsoftware.com/forum/.
To be careful at recovery data with that tool! Good luck! |

| I've looked at that site, and I'm not sure how that would help with most data recovery tasks. At least, not for any average user.
Maybe SpinRite would be between recovery and that tool, but again, unless it's hardware failures, not likely to help. |
