See What You Get – Free!

With NTFS Recovery Wizard, you always get exactly what you see. The Live Preview feature ensures your ability to recover a given file or document by producing a complete preview of that file or document. And we aren’t talking about a ‘hex’ preview of random numbers and symbols. Instead, NTFS Recovery Wizard shows your Word documents as Word documents, and your digital images as viewable pictures to let you examine the quality of the recovery before you pay a cent.

NTFS Recovery Wizard Can Do:

Recover Data from NTFS Volumes with a Wizard

You can restore files and folders from damaged, corrupted, inaccessible and unreadable hard drives completely by yourself with a simple, easy to use wizard. Emptied Windows Recycle Bin? Accidentally formatted a disk? Tried using Windows checkdisk on a damaged disk? No need to bring your hard drive to a data recovery lab! Save time and money and use NTFS Recovery Wizard to recover your data completely automatically.

No Experience Required

Try reading about NTFS and the recovery techniques, and you’ll be lost for weeks. NTFS Recovery Wizard knows a lot about the internals of the file system, using this knowledge to help you get your data back. Run the wizard, choose your disk, and click ‘Next’ to start the job! It’s that simple, and it works for all NTFS drives including the badly damaged ones. NTFS Recovery Wizard does the job at no extra charge even if you tried to fix it yourself with other tools!

Under the Hood

The Easy Recovery Wizard sure looks simple, but the recovery algorithms are not! NTFS Recovery Wizard benefits from years of constant development, and employs the most sophisticated data recovery technologies available on the market.

The proprietary PowerSearch technology makes it possible to locate lost and deleted files on formatted or badly damaged disks. Unlike other data recovery tools, NTFS Recovery Wizard does not rely exclusively on what Windows knows about your files. Instead, it scans the entire surface of your hard disk in low-level mode, reading sector by sector. The process is slow and takes significant time to complete, but allows NTFS Recovery Wizard to locate files that would be otherwise lost forever. The PowerSearch technology uses advanced signature analysis techniques similar to those employed by anti-virus scanners to detect the beginning and end of documents in recognized formats.

Your Files First

Your work, pictures, archives and every other piece of user-created content are our top priority. Why restoring all those EXE and DLL files you can easily get by simply re-installing the system? Instead, NTFS Recovery Wizard makes every effort possible to locate and recover the files you created before it starts looking for other files – such as EXE or DLL.

PowerSearch is able to discover and save over a hundred file formats, including Office documents, digital pictures in various formats, RAW images from digital SLR cameras, ZIP and RAR archives, and various audio and video files. Even if half of your hard disk is completely dead, NTFS Recovery Wizard will recover the important stuff from the other half!

Military Grade Security

Free Wipe Wizard erases private and files and wipes sensitive information in a secure manner. We guarantee that the file erased with Free Wipe Wizard can never be recovered with any other tool. Even if your disk lands in the hands of F.B.I. your erased information remains inaccessible. The erased information will hold secure even if special methods are used to sense weak magnetic information off your hard disk surface!

Complete Data Security for Everyone

Free Wipe Wizard is fully functional and free of charge. The tool takes care of your files in a simple and efficient manner. Just run the tool, select a file to delete and click “Delete File” to wipe off its content forever. No data recovery tool can ever restore the contents of your file – guaranteed!

Why Are We So Confident?

Anyone can guarantee ‘complete confidentiality’ or ‘ultimate security’. The question is whether or not they are ready to back their claim. We are completely confident in our software because we used the US Government standard seven-pass wiping to overwrite your data in a theoretically proven, completely tested, cryptographically secure way. A cryptographically strong sequence of random numbers is generated for each wipe, making it absolutely impossible to access the erased information even if your hard drive is disassembled and viewed under an electronic microscope. Needless to say that any software tools for data recovery will pass on data deleted with Free Wipe Wizard.

Proper Implementation

Not all implementations of secure file delete are equal. Some are just using zeroes to wipe your data, and some are using weak random key generators. While these tools defeat software-based data recovery utilities, they fail to provide the ultimate data security that only a proper tool can guarantee.

Free Wipe Wizard is based on a cryptographically strong open-source code, and is distributed with GNU General Public License.

Compatibility

• Free Wipe Wizard supports NTFS, NTFS 4, NTFS 5, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and VFAT file systems.
• Free Wipe Wizard supports Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 Server, and Vista.

The PowerSearch technology recovers more than a hundred types of files located on damaged, formatted or repartitioned disks. Developed to preserve and recover your most precious data, PowerSearch supports files you value most such as compressed archives, Office documents, spreadsheets, presentations, family photos and multimedia files. PowerSearch is designed to take advantage of every chance to recover your data, no matter how slim the chance might be. The technology is constantly evolving, adding support for more file formats all the time. Today, PowerSearch can recover more than 170 types of files.

PowerSearch Benefits

PowerSearch is designed to detect the exact physical location of lost and deleted files in cases when the file system can no longer help. Working in extreme conditions, PowerSearch helps recover files in cases of severe damage to disks and their system structures.

Normally, data recovery tools rely on the file system to contain information on files that were deleted or lost after a disk failure. If, however, the disk gets reformatted, repartitioned, or simply damaged beyond reasonable repair, the remaining of the file system cannot help locate any files.

PowerSearch employs the complete scan and analysis of the hard disk in order to locate certain types of documents (over 170 in its current implementation). Technically, PowerSearch reads the entire surface of the disk sector by sector, analyzing data in order to detect signatures characteristic to known types of files. For example, JPEG files contain the ‘JFIF’ signature in their headers, and are therefore easy to detect. After detecting the beginning of a file, PowerSearch makes its best to obtain information about the file’s name and the exact length of the file in order to recover the file in as close a condition to the original as possible.

Supported File Formats

WizardRecovery constantly updates the PowerSearch technology. Currently, the technology recognizes over 170 types of files.

Office Documents

PowerSearch locates and recovers documents such as those saved by Microsoft Office 95-2007, StarOffice and OpenOffice. This also includes RTF and HTML files, Adobe PageMaker and PDF files.

You don’t need Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, or StarOffice to be installed in order to recover office documents with PowerSearch.

Email, Text and Databases

PowerSearch recovers email databases used by Microsoft Outlook Express, and recognizes many databases formats such as dBase, MS Access and Works.

Images and Digital Pictures

PowerSearch recovers many types of pictures and digital images, including TIFF, TIF, NEF, PEF, X3F, JPEG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, GIF, TGA and many others. The technology can also recover vector and 3D images such as AI, VSD, SWF, and MAX.

Digital SLR RAW Files

The technology allows dSLR users to take advantage of its full support of the various RAW formats. PowerSearch supports RAW files produced by Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony, including CRW, CR2, RAW, NEF, and PEF.

Compressed Archives

The technology displays images, open documents and plays back audio and video clips without writing anything onto the hard disk. LivePreview can even enter ZIP and RAR archives to show what’s inside!

If a file is corrupted or partially overwritten, LivePreview instantly repairs the file before displaying it on the screen.

LivePreview Benefits

First and most obvious, LivePreview allows seeing whether or not a file is actually recoverable. If you can see a preview of a file, you can definitely recover it. Working in both free and registered editions of all WizardRecovery products, LivePreview makes your purchase decision much easier.

Working with files such as Office documents means there are multiple versions of them as a result of multiple saves. Choosing the right version among the clutter of different versions is easy thanks to LivePreview. The technology displays all versions of each document, allowing you to choose the latest one among multiple files with the same name.

Windows can always choose to use free space made available by deleting a file to store another file. This way, deleted files start to overlap, occupying the same physical space on the disk. It is essential to recover the only right copy of each file; if you save the wrong one onto the same disk that contains the original deleted file, your chances of recovering the right one after that are slim. LivePreview lets you pick the right file by showing its full preview. If you see garbage instead of proper content, simply move along to the next file!

Supported File Formats

WizardRecovery constantly updates the LivePreview technology. Currently, LivePreview supports over 150 different types of files.
