When I first downloaded and tested this program, it did not successfully recover any files I tried. They were all corrupt (even recently deleted files). I kept the program nonetheless, and now, over a month later, my USB stick breaks down. My last hope was this up to now useless program. And it recovers 4000+ files, none (of the tested) corrupt, all working perfectly, even programs!! Thanks GAOTD, you made my day.

@94--thanks, appreciate it; but something's fishy, becuase I never had another version installed on my computer. I downloaded and installed what was offered yesterday...and got the regular version. Oh well, life isn't perfect, who am I to complain to?. My 24hrs are up. Maybe sometime they'll offer it again. Or maybe someone will email me the download? :-( :-)
Thanks for all your help, everyone.
Nice little community,here.

Wow! 40% didn't like it? Three years ago my external hard drive froze up on me. I tried 4 or 5 programs to try to recover the important files (like an idiot, over 3,000 pics not backed up anywhere else). I gave up and contemplated either pitching or reformatting the hard drive. I decided instead to throw it in a box and see if someone someday makes something that works.
Yesterday, someone did! I downloaded this software about 8pm. Before I went to bed at midnight, I had recovered all 3,000+ photos. I'm ecstatic about this! THANK YOU!!

To #84, #89.
When you open (run) the program, the opening screen says "Professional" (near the top of the screen).
Save | Cancel
#91-92, rstock2, if the title bar, the topmost text on the main screen, and Help, About, don't say Professional on your system, then you must not have uninstalled the standard version which was given away earlier (i.e., if you have the Professional version, you can't miss it). As for registration, if it's installed, it's registered.

re 84 & 91: If ANYONE finds out that this is NOT the pro version as advertised, please advise us all since it's PRO is not mentioned on the "front" of the program, nor in ABOUT. #84 has a good point, and now I'm curious, too.
Might anyone be able to clarify this?
thx

@#84: When I went to ABOUT it did, indeed display the name and file number. It read: EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard 4.3.6. I have to assume that's the Pro version as that's what was advertised as the download.
Maybe their labeling is just a bit deceiving?

Attempted to install on both my desktop and laptop over the existing prior Data Recovery giveaway. Neither setups auto-uninstalled the prior version, but produced a message to uninstall the "normal series program" . I attempted to this on both of the machines using Add/Remove Programs, which produced a bizarre error which began with ">SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (469) PAPP:EASUS Data Recovery Wizard 4.3.6 PVENDOR:EASUS (http://www.EASUS.com) PGUID:46D61287-50D4-46B9-B6DBCD023873 $10.0.0.159 @Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 7.0.60000.16640" After clicking OK, this was followed by a message advising to close programs, empty temp folders, etc. I did this and re-booted, but no luck. The same exact thing happened on both machines. I then tried to install on a seperate flash drive, which it wouldn't allow either because of the existing "normal version" installation. Sorry if there's any typos...it's time for bed, but I wanted to get this comment in...even though I'll miss this opportunity. I was looking forward to testing the Pro version...the last one was great! So, at least I have the "normal version"/prior GOTD...I believe it's still functioning after all this. Either way, many thanks to GOTD for all the great software!

To 87:
1) After you run setup and program is activated, you should find a file named DRW.exe (or DRW....exe). This file is probably in the same place as your original zip and setup files are, or try the desktop.
2) Copy the DRW file to a flash or hard drive connected to your computer. DO NOT INSTALL on Drive C !
3) Run DRW.exe from that other drive. This will install the program on the other drive.
4) Restore any found files or partitions to another drive, do NOT restore to C drive or you may overwrite files not yet restored.

I'm running Vista basic and have downloaded and installed several times. GOTD says it's activated, but all I extract is read me and setup. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I have a crashed computer I'm desperately trying to save. Thanks.

On second thought, Phil's comment seems to indicate that he was unable to check the file's original directory, and resorted to checking the Recycle Bin for the deleted file - which makes a LOT more sense.
Save | Cancel
>Robert
"This may sound weird to you but a file in recycle bin is not really deleted [...] It is deleted as soon as it leaves this bin"
Well, by that logic, choosing to "Restore" an item in the Recycle Bin should delete it, since the file leaves the bin, right? :D
But, yeah, it's disturbing when somebody doesn't recognize the fact that the dialog box when deleting a file says "Move to Recycle Bin?", or that choosing to "Empty Recycle Bin" results in the message, "Are you sure that you want to permanently delete these items?"(well, in Vista at least, in XP it's different).

Anyone know how to verify if it's successfully activated as a Pro version?!... on the "About" page after installation doesn't really say anything but the version number........ I've had problems b4 regarding programs supposedly activated was still in Demo mode.... THX!!

You can install on a flash drive with no problem.
Start the installer and brouse to you destination disk,flash disk.
I have both the first copy of this from GOTD and also this PRO version on the one flash drive, and both work perfectly.

Great, just installed on main system, copied the installed files to a flash drive, took it to my laptop, deleted a folder of files, ran the program, recovered them to the flash drive. Works fine. Thanks

What am I doing wrong?? Downloaded this program (Vista)and got the zip file. Dbl clicked on that and it extracted the files. I then got the ACTIVATED page from GAOTD, Installed to C drive, but it's not showing anywhere. The zip file is still in my downloads folder. Can't find an exe file and it's not listed in my Programs. Where could it be? Any thoughts before the deadline runs out? Please? This must be an easy piece I'm missing. :-)

A $90 "Professional" program and the installer isn't even code-signed? Hmm.
Oh I see, that's not the real installer, just a stub that installs the installer and regs it.
Wait a minute... What?? The real installer isn't signed either. Geez.
Still, seems like a good thing to have just in case.
Save | Cancel
Perhaps I'm wrong but, instead of just copying the setup exe file to my flash drive, since the flash drive has UP3 on it, I used the free FactoryPackage program first to convert the EXE file to UP3 and then installed that file on the flash drive.
I also installed the setup exe file to an external hard drive by changing the path of the unziped file with the setup exe file to the external drive.
If the flash drive did not have UP3 installed, perhaps the setup exe file could have been simply copied to it.
I'm certainly no expert here, and I do not know if I am right or wrong, but those are my thoughts, and perhaps they will help someone.
The problem with this kind of program is you never know if you are right or not until the time comes to use it.

Very few here seem to have a clue.
If you have data to recover NOW, then it is best not to install this software onto THAT disk.Reason is the instalation may overight your lost data, and it will be unrecoverable.
If you have NO LOST DATA right now, then install onto your main drive, you are not risking one think, if you install on C drive.
THEN if you ever lose data, run the program, find the lost data, and save it to any other media, CD Flash drive,DVD,other hard drive,ect
All you need to understand is that puting this or any software on a disk that has lost data you want to recover, MAY OVERIGHT your lost data making it unrecoverable.....Put it on C drive if you have no lost data...at the time...and it will work fine if and when you do.
And ~Robert~ *this may sound weird* but Phil understands much more than u think.*he* does know *about* the *recycle* bin and how it works.*His* question is not answered by *you repeating ****yourself* over and over with lots of*****.
I hope this helps a bit
Ken Kelly, no need to keep puting NA in the space for a website.
it thinks it is a link, and any one clicking on it is taken to YOU NA website. It is there if you DO have a website you want to link to.
Putting NA there must waste so many peoples time in clicking on it.
Get a website or leave it BLANK....just a thought.by

When I tested the previous version given here, I had no difficulty installing it on a USB flash drive. After installing, I copied an existing file to a different folder and then deleted the copy. I immediately tried to recover the copy using Easeus with NO success. As I had done nothing to overwrite the file, I decided that that version of Easeus was not worthwhile, and that, perhaps, it was a "teaser" to try to get people to buy a more expensive, more complete version.
Bladed Thoth also had problems with this company's Data Recovery Wizard v4.3.6 recovering individual files. See http://www.bladedthoth.com/reviews/15mrs/data-recovery-wizard-v4-3-6/

Requiring another computer -is- valid and now nearly trivial thanks to virtualization; however, it is wrong to thing this software requires it. Just boot/install it from another disk (say, a USB or network volume), or flash drive; you don't even need to buy another license to use Windows, because the license is lenient enough to let you recover using that environment...and of course you could recover using F/OSS and/or LiveCDs or RAM drives as suggested.
It really is a shame OS don't have better built-in data recovery software for optical media. Nero Burning Rom from Ahead.de comes bundled with some stuff.... Microsoft pulled back on the Vista filesystem upgrade for now, so of course Vista fans will get either a present or a task when that comes out....
6MB sounds like a reasonable size. Oh hey installer, feel free to start another tabbed browser in the background, I'm only maxed out on unleaded DDR here....

This may sound weird to you but a file in recycle bin is not really deleted.*
Just right click on a file in the bin and say restore.
Consider it as a protected storage(with size limits).
It is deleted as soon as it leaves this bin or when you skip it using using shift+delete.
*This is just as weird as pressing start to turn off the computer.

I use Vista SP1 and this program seems to work pretty well. My simple tests involved deleting some files and immediately trying to rescue them with this tool. Usually it worked, but there were a few small glitches:
- I restored one zip-file, but it could not be opened. Must have gotten damaged.
- Once the "Trash" icon on my desktop disappeared from sight.
- I never managed to restore any file that had been directly on my desktop.
The wizard interface is really nice. And, thanks to the comments of other users, I found out how easy it is to put it onto a USB stick, in case of an emergency.
This is one of those programs that lets you sleep a little easier at night.

No success installing--Robert's comment doesn't help a bit as I never receive a DRW file nor am I given the option to run any of the files that are part of the program.
Ideas anyone?

This is a piece of junk.
I tested it by deleting 3 or 4 files and it would never find any of them, even when I used a different drive.
So I reinstalled the program and said no thank you for a worthless program.

I don't know what to say about the vote today. Seems like I recall some major problems with some of this company's other software, and that's a separate issue from the Red Chinese spyware on hard drives, which I have a hard time forgetting even if everyone else seems to overlook or forgive it somehow. If the new communists want to be considered on a par with other commercial nations, then they should not subvert commercial entities to carry out ideological objectives.

1) When I installed, it didn't actually install, it installed the installation/setup program. (DRWSetup.exe) Only a problem because I had the regular version installed, so when I ran it, it didn't find my dead flash drive.
2) When I ran the setup program, it did not uninstall the regular version, but instead told me to do so--no problem.
This particular drive (Toughdrive ATP) has lost it's formating header or something and is now seen as RAW format.
This tool does not see the drive at all under "full Recover" or "Recover Files" (but then, neither did Recova or any of several other such utilities.)
"Recover Partition" was able to find the drive, and recover the files--although many are corrupted, this is undoubtedly not the tool's problem.
Seems to be a good tool, certainly is a nice giveaway, thanks GAOTD & EASEUS!
Given that this is the nd time my Toughdrive has lost it's formating, I am very greatful to have this tool in my kit.

Is there any way to recover files that have been overwritten ? i lost lots of files a month ago (due to over eager anti virus activity) and was unaware that programs like this existed . At the time my freespace on the hardrive was about 30 % . . . yesterday i checked and my freespace was down to 17% so i transferred some bits to cdr , had a spring clean , and now my freespace is back up to 36% . Will i have overwritten the lost files or are they only overwritten when there is no more available space on the hardrive? Any help appreciated, please excuse my ignorance on these matters : )
Save | Cancel
I see that a few have had some install issues and questioned whether or not it could be installed on media other them the computers master hard drive. I had no such issues. I simply changed the install directory during install, added a desktop icon (later copied to the external drive) and now have installed it successfully on my 500GB Maxtor external drive and my Transcend 4GB travel drive. I just hope that considering the solid reputation of this publisher and past success with their software, these installs are as good. Under these circumstances, thumbs up all day!
As it is installed as recommended,(not on the source drive}, it should come in very handy, especially on the Maxtor.
If this fails, a simple copy to, (program file and icon) the external media, one will find it works like this too. Only problem here, is it must remain installed on the computers master hard drive. Can't really claim thats much of a problem though.

# 29 If you notice it says that it will recover files that have been deleted unless they are over written. A deleted file that stays in the recycle bin don't get over written, but one thats been emptied does.
Above quote "It can recover files that are accidentally deleted, provided that the files are not permanently overwritten by new data". Now if you know of another way to over write deleted data please let me know.
#28 If you'll notice my English version was exact. I said it won't let you recover certain files without doing a complete partition restore.

I have tried and tested many of these. I have not tested this one. The very best one that worked for me and cost less than half of this one was Arax Disk Doctor. Beware you must not test on a crashed needed disk. Do not take chances as any activity that causes direct or indirect access to a crashed disk could cause additional crashes and further loss.
I think this one cost $40US. This one does have a completely safe free trial version. It is NOT 100% intuitive so read carefully before you try anything. I recovered 2, 125 GB NTFS (XP pro) disk drives that had all the tree directories destroyed thus disabling each entire disk drive. My then 17 year old son caused all the computers in our home to crash. First he was banned from all access (he had to go to a library). Then with a friends old computer I copied and tested about a dozen RECOVERY packages. This one, after some READING, recovered 100% of all my files with a day and a half of work.

I loved that it registered before the install, so you can reinstall it anywhere. I was worried that the usual GAOTD restrictions would apply to this software, in that it would not be movable from one computer to the next. Because that could greatly hinder the use of the software.
Although the Read Me could have explained that when you do the initial GAOTD "setup" that it only registered the product, then basically dumped it to your C drive, in which you can run the REAL setup/Wizard and install the program.
Very nice though

What a really simple but effective tool,as to some guys wandering whether to delete previous DRW tried to install on top but it tells you to uninstall other DRW when installing Pro.Also some mentioned tried to find stuff from time ago ,unable to ,that's because it's overwritten,the only difference between previous and this Pro version is that this supports dynamic volumes,multiple drives on same computer.
Save | Cancel
#49 Yes of course you're right. You'd need a healthy drive of sufficient size to recover all the data you want to recover. But (although I haven't tested this and I wouldn't suggest anyone relies on it) I can't see any reason why you couldn't keep a copy of Data Recovery Wizard Pro on a flash USB drive, and then recover data from a damaged drive to a new hard drive purchased after today's giveaway expires.
I agree with you 100% about backup. :-)

All thumbs up from me. As it said it is really very outstanding. I downloaded it when GOTD offered it free last time. Used it and was able to recover most of my files. O.k. not all of them but most of them. I will say more than 80%. I will suggest all of my friends to use it. It is one and only program I used and love it.
