Prosoft Data Rescue PC did an excellent job bringing my 40GB of data back from Norton Ghost. It's like, if you haven't overwritten your Hard Disk with other data, you may just be fine using the Rescue PC.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Flexibility, lacks informative file information, retrieved data is not simply returned to original file structure.
Having turned away from "Get Data Back" to "Data Rescue" my expectations were not met. First hand use/experience has been with "File Scavenger", excellent flexibility and ease of use offering a complete "Windows Explorer" type presentation of retrieved data. You pick what you want and it is restored similarly to the Windows Explorer File system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective Product! Surprises you with what it does!, February 21, 2006
This review is from: ProSoft Data Rescue PC - Drive Recovery Made Easy (CD-ROM)
Prosoft Data Rescue PC did an excellent job bringing my 40GB of data back from Norton Ghost. It's like, if you haven't overwritten your Hard Disk with other data, you may just be fine using the Rescue PC.

Yet, the quality of the CD itself that Prosoft shipped out is less than desirable. The disc is ugly, with flakes of shiny stuffs peeling of the surface of the disc. Plus, it is not a pressed CD, but rather a regular "home made" copy that burned right out of your PC's CD writer. Anyway, discs like that don't last for long.

Still though, the overall rating is extremely positive! I give it 4.5 stars! It works very well!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Flexibility, lacks informative file information, retrieved data is not simply returned to original file structure., September 5, 2006
This review is from: ProSoft Data Rescue PC - Drive Recovery Made Easy (CD-ROM)
Having turned away from "Get Data Back" to "Data Rescue" my expectations were not met. First hand use/experience has been with "File Scavenger", excellent flexibility and ease of use offering a complete "Windows Explorer" type presentation of retrieved data. You pick what you want and it is restored similarly to the Windows Explorer File system.

ProSoft Data Rescue also made matters difficult in that there needed to be a "reserve" hard drive- that needed to be formatted into a "Fat 32" format. Thus, any hard drives you had available for use, lost all file/data content. What you viewed as your retrieved data with Data Rescue were files that had to be opened to be interpreted, then catalogued or filed. This was not the case with Data Scavenger.

The disadvantage with Data Scavenger was that it was a "one time use" on the computer it was downloaded to. (Could not be copied and used on my other two computers- meaning drives had to be moved or relocated.

Still recovering from Hurricane damages and am just now getting to the drives that were in some manner damaged. Whereas as I am not any kind of an authority on software use, for me ProSoft Data Rescue failed in terms of ease and simplicity found in Data Scavenger. Included to this were the several "demos" I tried. My best "informed" decision on this matter turned out to be wrong. I am asking Amazon.com for return and refund.
