Handy Recovery
There are a lot of file recovery utilities out there, but my favourite has to be Handy Recovery. They are up to version 4 now, but they very kindly offer version 1.0 as freeware and it has always served me well:
“Due to overwhelming response, high appreciation of Handy Recovery 1.0 and a lot of user requests for an opportunity to make a donation we have decided to go ahead with the further development of this product and created a commercial version. At the same time the lite unrestricted version stays available online for download. We hope that you will find Handy Recovery really handy for your day-to-day activities.”
It has a simple interface, can scan my hard drive for deleted files quickly and has got me out of a few jams in the past. It works well on USB pen drives too.
