I purchased Migo Rescue Premium soley on the #1 rating it got from Top Ten Reviews.
What a mistake! Nowhere in the #1 review article did they mention that Rescue Premium ONLY recovers DELETED data, and CAN NOT rescue ANY data from a FORMATTED disk. Also when reading the product package and discription, nowhere does it mention that it can not recover formatted disks. There are several products that WILL rescue data from a formatted disk, and I had to purchace another one just to get my data back.
Now I'm stuck with a piece of useless software which can not be returned.
I have also contacted the reviewer and told them that the product did not work as per their raving #1 review, and that they should revise their review to mention the products shortcomings. Also to take it out of its undeserved #1 rank.
Finaly, if you just deleted a file, this product may work. However if you crash and have to reformat, use another product...one with reformatted disk rescue capabilities.

I purchased this software based on a stellar review that I found on a website. That website says that it is compatible with Windows 7. It is not!!! It only found 4 files from a 200gb drive that was full.

I'm seeking a refund, but had to buy GetDataBack for NTFS, which works perfectly. (I'm running Windows 7 64bit).

I purchased Migo Rescue Premium and have not been able to enter the software key, thus unable to use this product.
I have tried numerous times to contact the company with no results what so ever.
Horrible product and customer service.
Do not buy this product unless you like wasting money.
DO NOT BUY ANY PRODUCT FROM THIS SOFTWARE COMPANY.
THE SELLER IS ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MIGO.
STAY AWAY FROM ANY MIGO SOFTWARE

I cannot recommend this software to anyone that is serious about rescuing deleted (or moved, not overwritten) files. It could not even find my SDHC card. I am using a card reader as the Support Site suggests, and the camera, but it does not see the card. Also, I have a 1 TB Hard Drive that has thousands of files to recover, and the program only found 4, and one that would be useful to recover, when I tried, the program that created it (Adobe Premiere) claimed that the file was corrupted.

One thing that it does have in its favor, the scan only took a couple of seconds, and didn't waste my time in realizing that this software really wasn't cracked up to its billing (TopTenReviews ranks this as #1). Not what I would consider a top ten rescue program.

If I were to recommend a recovery software... GetDataBack (GDB) pulled a lot of deleted files from the fore-mentioned SDHC card and 1TB Hard drive. The problem with GDB is that it is more expensive than Digital Rescue and it has a separate program for NTFS and FAT drives. But at least it found my files.

Here's one thing I don't understand: Amazon has this listing for Migo Digital Rescue Premium... is there a difference between this and Migo Digital Rescue Premium - Windows? Maybe I should have gotten the other version.
