Prosoft Data Rescue 2 Product Description
Do you have a corrupt hard drive or one that no longer mounts? Are other tools failing to even recognize your bad drive? Do you need to recover files that have been deleted? Data Rescue II is the best data recovery software on the market for recovering files from a problem hard drive or that have been previously deleted. Data Rescue II works when other tools fail. Data Rescue II is also completely safe to use since it does not attempt any risky repairs to the drive it's scanning. This is the safest, most powerful software to recover your hard drive. Data Rescue II is the same software used by many data recovery services!
You will need to save your recovered files to either an internal or external hard drive (USB or FireWire), removable media device (such as a Zip or MO) or a networked drive.
An optional emergency bootable DVD is available.
Why is Data Rescue II different?
Focusing on data recovery, instead of hard drive repair, Data Rescue II will work in more cases, recover more effectively, and deliver your files in better condition than other utilities you may have tried in the past. Data Rescue II analyzes your entire hard drive looking for your data, then it meticulously re-assembles your files and stores them to a different location.
Do I need to have Data Rescue II installed on my computer before the crash occurred?
No, Data Rescue II is a program that is used after the files have been deleted or the hard drive has crashed.
Can Data Rescue II recover files from a drive I accidentally initialized?
In certain cases, yes. Try the free demo of Data Rescue II to see if these files are still available to be recovered.
Do I have to be technical to understand how to use Data Rescue II?
No, Data Rescue II features an easy-to-use "Wizard Mode" that walk you step by step through the recovery process.
What if I can't get the drive to even mount on the desktop?
Data Rescue II comes with a bootable DVD, so you can boot your machine directly from the DVD.
Will Data Rescue II recover pictures from my digital camera media cards?
Yes, Data Rescue II will recover pictures, movies and music from Mac and PC drives, iPods®, cameras and any type of digital media card.
How long will the recovery take?
This depends greatly on the size of the drive and the condition of the disk.
Can Data Rescue recover files from a UFS formatted drive?
For general file recovery, Data Rescue only supports HFS and HFS+, however for recovery of digital pictures, movies and audio, Data Rescue II supports all volume types, including digital media, camera and PC drives. You will need to save your recovered files to either internal hard drive, external hard drive or Firewire drive, removable media device (such as a Zip or MO), or even a network drive.
What if the drive doesn't show up in Disk Utility?
If the drive is not recognized in Disk Utility, then Data Rescue II will not be able to see it either. The fact that the drive is not showing up in Disk Utility is most likely a sign that there may be some hardware issues with your drive. You may try to put the drive into a separate enclosure to see if that fixes the issue (that may allow the drive to be seen in Disk Utility).
