Active@ File Recovery 7.5.1

Just because a file has been deleted, it doesn’t mean it is gone forever. The operating system may tell you that specific file is gone, but the simple truth of the matter is that it is still there on the hard drive. It will continue to be there until it is overwritten. Now if you need to bring that file back to life, you can do what I always do – turn to software and see if there is an application out there that can lend a helping hand.

Luckily enough there is a whole class of software applications out there that can prove to be helpful in this situation – data recovery tools. Out of all the data recovery tools available out there, I would like to put the spotlight on just one. I would like to focus on the LSoft Technologies-developed application Active@ File Recovery.

Here is what you can expect to get from the Active@ File Recovery application:
- Recovers accidentally deleted files
- Recovers files lost due to crashes, viruses, and so on
- Recovers data from formatted partitions
- Provides support for FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5 file systems
- Powerful image algorithms to detect and recover deleted picture files.

Before you get Active@ File Recovery and put it to the test, check out these technical bits and pieces:
Download – the download weighs in at less than 5MB, which means that it should not take long for the download to complete (especially if you’re on a high-speed internet connection).
Installation – installing Active@ File Recovery is a simple process that goes along smoothly and rapidly. You can install Active@ File Recovery on any version of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system.
Limitations – of you stick with the demo version, you will only be able to recover files under 64KB.

Pros

• Easy to use
• Recover lost files
• Works with all Windows versions

Cons

• Free to try (64KB-file recovery demo limitation)
