Looks like a pretty decent data recovery app but PURAN FILE RECOVERY does the same and even more for FREE, since after some tests I carried out recently turned out to be the only FREEWARE out there capable of recovering almost any files previously stored in an USB drive of minesuddenly bacoming RAW due to a technical hardware failure. And unlike this GAOTD, it's even able to show you the recoverability of files.

So I was wondering why this GAOTD costs 30 Bucks and Puran File Recovery 0 bucks...

Moreover, being the crippled version of the main program (by the way, wouldn't it be the time to give us here only the PRO version of whatsover program in order to test it and review it, on behalf of the developer, as a means of advertising and publicity?) this GAOTD also lacks of the ability to create bootable/recovery CD/DVD/USB, meaning if your PC is not able to bootup anymore this GAOTD becomes absolutely useless. According to the developer (see comment above), to have this feature you have to pay even more...but this is not true for Giovanni...LOL!!

BootSecRecover.dll in the program. We are promised that the file is clean.It is because TrendMicro-HouseCall antivirus

Hi, everybody. Today's offer isn't relevant for me, but I don't give it a thubs down from that point of view. Please help one another and give a little room for the users, who spends time to comment today's giveaway. I wonder where, all this negative behaviour comes from? We're not speaking and writing English/American all of us, but I'm sure, everybody does their best. Thanks to Ashraf (nice to see you), and a special thanks to our King of freeware, Giovanni for fair reviews. With that little epos, I've say thanks, that you read my point - and maybe gave it a thought. Have a nice summer - with all the best wishes from Denmark. Again, please be fair and positive...

Hi, the WinPE version doesn't support RAID0 & RAID5 recovery, but the Enterprise version support. That's why Enterprise version cost more.
