Need a freeware program to recover deleted files on your hard drive? I've
previously written about a free data recovery program called Recuva, but that was a year back. I
also wrote about a great program that can help you recover deleted pictures.
However, when it comes to recovering accidentally deleted files, different programs can give
you different results. Some programs will find deleted files that were created months ago and
some programs will find only very recent files.
If you want to undelete files in Windows, try out another program called Pandora Recovery. It is
probably one of the best and most powerful data recovery software apps out there.

The name Pandora originates in Greek mythology, and it means
"all-giving." It's an appropriate name for the program that Power Downloader recommends
for you this week, too. Pandora Recovery is a well-designed freeware program that can
restore files you've deleted or thought lost because of a hard-disk failure.

A customer brought me a computer for fix. He said that his hard drive
was partitioned into C: and D: and all of a sudden, the files in D: drive were gone. Only
one folder had remained. My client thought he just lost 160GB of data. This seemed to be
caused by some kind of viruses deleting files on your hard drive.
In this case, I tried a number of free data recovery software in the attempt to recover
as much data as possible for my client. The software I tried were FreeUndelete, TOKIWA
DataRecovery, Pandora Recovery and Restoration. I have actually used Restoration for a
few times before. However, I didn't like its interface and the lack of restoring the file
and folder structures. This is why I searched for other data recovery software this time.
Pandora Recovery Came Through.

If you lose valuable files, Pandora Recovery can get them back as long as the
space on your hard drive hasn't been reused. Pandora boasts that it can successfully recover any
deleted file from NTFS-formatted volumes. The New Technology File System is the default system
used in all modern operating systems from Microsoft. The program scans your hard drive, builds
an index of existing and deleted files and directories, and allows you full control over which
files to recover. The program is available as a free download.

One of our favorite file recovery applications, Pandora
Recovery, released a new version today that adds some useful features
and signals the end of their public beta. Pandora Recovery has come in
handy for me several times since I took a look at it hands-on last month,
and when I heard there was a new version and some new features, I was
curious what the developers added that would extend the functionality
of this already-robust free file recovery app.

For restoring files that you've deleted from your hard
drive, Pandora Recovery is one solid option. Version 1.1.20 of the utility
worked well in my tests--and it costs nothing.
An optional step-by-step wizard helps beginners get up to speed. The
utility's paned file-browser interface is probably most appropriate for
an experienced user, but anyone who's familiar with Windows Explorer will
find it easy to learn.
Selecting a partition in the file-browser interface produces a quick
list of all the files and the status of each (healthy, deleted, or overwritten).
To undelete a file, you simply select it, right-click, and choose Recover
from the pop-up menu. The utility reveals to you how much of a deleted
file has been overwritten--an important feature, since no program can
retrieve overwritten data.

Pandora Recovery enables you to recover deleted files
from NTFS (Win 2000 and newer) formatted hard drives. You can scan an
entire partition, or search for files, specifying the file name, type,
size, or creation date.
There is a wizard (it can be turned off if you wish) to help you when
the program starts. Sensibly, it first asks you to check the recycle bin
for your missing file, before you attempt anything more drastic.
You are then given the choice of browsing a drive for deleted files, searching
for a file with specific attributes, or a surface scan.
The search tab is the most useful, allowing you to narrow your search
to a specific type, size and date.

No matter how great your virus protection, no matter how thorough your backup system, sooner or later an important file is going to go missing. Maybe your finger slipped when you were deleting something else. Maybe your cat walked across the keyboard and stepped on the Delete key. Whatever the reason, if you act fast, there's a good chance you can bring the file back using a file recovery utility like the free Pandora Recovery. The act of installing file recovery software can itself make recovery more difficult, so go ahead and install it now, before you run into trouble.

I'm always on the lookout for good data recovery software. I've been known to delete a file or two and then regret deleting it, and I've "cleaned up" my hard drive only to learn a few days later that I deleted documents I needed to work on or an installer for an application I needed to test. I make a point to back up my data often, but anything in between backups is usually lost forever. That's where applications like Pandora Recovery come in: The promise of recovery programs is that they can get previously deleted files back in one piece for you. But to understand whether one of them is good or not, you also have to understand how deleting files really works.

The problem is common. We've all been there: You're working on your PC and decide to permanently delete a file you think you don't need anymore.

These are all times when easy-to-use data and file recovery programs are essential. Fortunately, Pandora Corp., a leader in PC security, has come to the rescue.

Pandora Corp. has launched the latest beta version of Pandora Recovery, its software for finding and recovering deleted files on your PC. The program scans your hard drive and builds an index of existing and deleted files and directories. Once the scanning is complete, you have several options for managing deleted files. It works only on NTFS-formatted drives -- which you have if you're running Windows XP or Vista.
The best feature about this program may be its price -- free. Download the program for free at this page.
The second best feature is its ease of use. The program is quick to install and quick to learn. A "wizard" took only moments to index my hard drive. You are given the option of searching for a particular file or browsing all deleted files.
