What it is
DiskInternals Partition Recovery scans readable storage for files on lost, deleted, formatted, RAW, inaccessible, corrupted, or damaged Windows partitions. Recovery modes include Fast recovery, Full recovery with deep scanning and virtual file-system reconstruction, and Reader mode. Sources include HDDs, SSDs, external drives, USB flash drives, memory cards, disk images, supported virtual or forensic containers, and readable logical sources from RAID, NAS, SAN, or Windows Dynamic Disks. Remote Ext2/3/4 sources can be accessed over SFTP. Supported file systems include NTFS, FAT, ReFS, and Ext2/3/4, with recovery modes varying by file-system type; disk layouts include MBR, GPT, and EFI. The evaluation version permits scanning, result review, and previewing supported files, but saving or exporting recovered files requires a license. The software scans sources read-only and does not rewrite or repair the original partition. The application is for Windows; Linux and macOS file systems can be sources, and the application may run on Linux or macOS through Wine. Pricing starts at $39.95 one-time, with a free plan and free trial listed. BitLocker volumes and EFS-encrypted files cannot be decrypted.
