Giveaway of the day — Easy Drive Data Recovery 3.0
Easy Drive Data Recovery 3.0 was available as a giveaway on August 27, 2013!
Easy Drive Data Recovery is a supreme and mighty data recovery application that has a remarkable ability of restoring files in situations that may seem absolutely hopeless, like accidentally formatting a hard drive or having a drive corrupted because of a nasty virus or someone’s clumsy hands. While looking simple and undemanding, it’s powerful enough to restore files that aren’t even present in the file system.
The program uses Raw Search, a special algorithm that enables finding files of almost a 100 formats. Reinstalling an operating system is no longer an obstacle on the way to successful data recovery – the program can deal with files that have been erased and deleted. It also doesn’t matter how large the hard drive is, even if it’s enormous, the search won’t take long, thanks to the built-in optimized search engines.

http://www.roadkil.net/program.php/P29/Unstoppable%20Copier
no toolbars or other crud comes with it but it was a bit slow until i set the speed (slider) to a faster speed then it worked quite well.
enjoy...

I am assuming.... Got to be carefull doing that... This program is not windows 8 or 8.1 compatiable. I did manage to register it but it was a pita.. on a 5 star system I give it 3 out of 5 because it did not fully recover my files on a usb disk it missed 10 out of 14. but this has promise. so its a keeper for me. Thanks GOTD

#26, skybase - to register,start the program. Choose a drive to search, and cancel after at least one file is found. Select the file, and click on the Recover icon (second one from the top left). You will get a window saying that only one file can be recovered in the demo version and offer to buy a full version. Cancel that and you should get a registration window, copy/paste the key in there
Weirdest registration ever... I had to use the software's Help to figure out how to get the reg screen

Very nice program, more pictures got back with it than other several free file recovery tools

@16 - Hello Gio
VideoHelp (www.videohelp.com/tools/IsoPuzzle) says "No longer developed". So I guess the developer's site has been closed.
By the way this VideoHelp site is a good source for video related software (free or not). For each title it has a page with a description, download link(s), comments by users, etc. Maybe you'll find new gems lurking there !
Cheers.

Wow. Can't imagine I actually gave info to the King of Freebies Himself !

Besides IsoPuzzle (by the way, can't find the official website where downloading it: where is it?), to recover as much as possible data of damaged, bad burned or scratched CDs or DVDs, just try these FREE GEMS:
- Abyssal Recovery
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/Abyssal-Recovery.shtml
- Puran Data Recovery

Unlike both this GAOTD and IsoPuzzle, both tools support a wider array of disc types.
Enjoy!!

#6 vicky.
If you modify an image in Photoshop and then save it then you have overwritten the original, the unmodified version of the file is gone.
If you saved the file under a different name from Photoshop then you should have both copies, one under the original file name and one under the new file name.
If you renamed it within Explorer or similar then that is the only copy of the image with a new name.

ok, I copied the info for registration and it told me it was activated, but, I have yet to see where I plug in the registration data. Am I missing something (probably).

#10:
Yes! there is a free tool called IsoPuzzle. It is very powerful. It will try to read sector by sector and build up an ISO image using all readable sectors. If there is a read error, it will repeat trying to read this sector many times. This way you'll finally get many data from your cd/dvd rescued, even if windows won't read anything and header data are lost or damaged. But this can take a lot of time depending on the degree of damage.
If you like to have really raw access and ignore even read errors, IsoPuzzle provides this option to you, so you can even copy sectors with read errors. This will be especially useful to get back some parts of text files.
But there is more! You now that some optical drives are better than others in reading data portions from damaged discs. At any time you can save your results, then connect to another optical drive and CONTINUE recovering the same media from another drive, increasing your chances to get your data back.
With this tool I could recover big parts of my music collection stored on heavily damaged CDs. I guess it will help you too.

lack of bootable options: deal killer

@vicky (post #6), it depends if the file was physically written over on the hard disk. It's hard to predict where data actually ends up on the hard disk - files can be stored anywhere, and they can be 'fragmented', ie. one part of the file is stored somewhere, the other somewhere completely different.
When you overwrote the Photoshop file, it may or may not have actually overwritten the original data on the HD. If it did, you're screwed - once the data is truly overwritten, it's gone. But maybe the old version is still there, a good undeleter can try and find it.
That's why it's crucial that when you accidentally trash a file you wanted to keep you make sure NOTHING else is written to the disk. That includes not installing the undeleting software on the same drive. Of course that's almost impossible on a drive that holds the OS, as that is constantly writing files in the background (temporary files, swap file etc). A good reason to keep your work on a seperate partition.

Like similar recovery utilities, this one doesn't seem to be able to access cds and dvds.
Does anyone has tips about how to raw access cds and dvds that are not accessible via Windows?

Warning!
i ve not seen any data recovery software that could recover datas from partition that was mistakenly deleted by hard drive extension in windows computer management (disc management). Subject to correction if anybody knows any, but thanks to GAOD team for the offer and work daily.

Having just lost a full SD card of photos 326 canon raw files .Tried to recover using several other program's without success using this program I now have them all back a big thank you

Not a bad app in my view (for sure it's worth much more than the current low rating): supports almost any kind of drives out there with filtering capabilities....and turned out to be quite quick to scan my system.
CONS: No ability to create any sort of bootable CD/DVD/USB drive to run Easy Drive Data Recovery from outside of Windows
Yes it's true, Ashraf is right... but don't remember any GAOTDs of this genre sporting this feature...how about you dudes? So this is not a deal breaker for me as a GAOTD (but obviously without this feature I would never spend 60 bucks for a tool like this)!
BEST FREE ALTERNATIVES
- PhotoRec & TestDisk (==> Softpedia Editor Pick and my Personal First Choice)
Great FREE tool for recovering files (video, documents, archives, CD-ROMs, photos etc...) from HDs, memory cards, USB flash drives and even digital camera memory.
What makes this open source tool special is its ability to ignore the file system, meaning it can recover lost files even when the file system has been severely damaged or reformatted.
It also supports bootable media, thus it can be run outside Windows enabling you to recover deleted files even when your PC is no longer able to boot into Windows.

Found Easy Drive Data Recovery 3 on my computer from the last time it was offered and ran it again today and I think it's an absolute little beauty, the preview window is exceptional in the way it presents the information depending on the type of file, the list of files is separated into type, for example image, multimedia etc. It has one drawback you cannot run it from outside Windows.
When I had a major computer problem a few years ago and it was imperative that I remained on the Internet I bought myself an old cheap laptop with a CPU that was molasses-based instead of silicon, or that's the way it feels.
Now I use it as my emergency machine and programs of this type go onto it. Any hard drive with problems is popped into a caddy and attached via USB to this old machine. If I live long enough for this machine to actually get working an attempt is made to repair the problem, but at times it is touch and go.
As a recovery program you will be hard pressed to beat this for ease-of-use and ability, get it.

I am not able to register: how to open the registration window? There's no voice in menus. According to the help instructions, I should click the second button from the left ("Recover selected files") to open that window, but no related button appears in the window consequent to click on "Recover selected files".
On clicking the "I" button, a message box opens telling, beside other info, "Registered version". But what does the GAOTD key stand for, then?
