A friend of my wife had XP behave awkwardly on her laptop. She purchased an external harddrive and had someone copy files over before doing a deep format and installing XP.

However, somehow her private photo album (of four years) never made it. My wife asked if there was anything I could do, I didn't think so. Phoenix recovery tool, however, made the process possible.

I had an installation problem, but the customer support was very helpful.

I have some complaints.

• It should warn you when you are attempting to save scan information data to the volume that you try to recover. I had not the slightest idea that it would generate a file well over 300 megabytes. And I couldn't abort it either.
• Virtual memory can grow up in the gigs. This is very unfortunate if the files you try to recover is on the system volume. The software should instead use temporary files on a selectable medium.

The two above can be troubling if they mess up something you attempt to recover, in which case it will produce an error message and abort. Thus forcing you to rescan the volume which takes hours.

The GUI becomes highly unresponsive due to the amount of data when scanning a whole volume. When selecting file types for recovery, I had to set a timer alarm for nine minutes because that's how long it took to check off a check box until the gui returned to allow me to check off the next one. Especially when you try to select all picture file types, this is highly unnecessary hassle. If it takes this long to select file types, at least it should queue the mouse clicks asynchronously so that I can do other stuff in the meantime. Maybe even give a noise when it is done until I start working on it again.

I recommend using this tool. It gets the job done. You tolerate the inconveniences when you are doing the "impossible".

Tormod Steinsholt,

As a computer technician, I have been using the Stellar/Phoenix recovery software for about 5 years, this newest version really hits a home run! Easy user interface, and 100% recovery of failed raid array. Thanks for a great product, you make my job easier, and really make my business shine!

Grazie a Stella Phoenix ho recuperato tutti i dati di un Hard Disk esterno, ho trovato il software molto semplice da utilizzare e ottimo come funzionalità. Per la mia esperienza è un software che consiglio anche per il prezzo contenuto. Luca Zanchin

"But this computer only prints the labels we put on all our packaging! You mean we were supposed to backup that hard drive too?" That's the story that came with the PC that unexpectedly arrive from one of our satellite warehouses. Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery was able to quickly recover all the contents of the corrupted hard drive for transfer to a new drive. The system went back into production the next day. Thanks to Stellar, we only had one business day of downtime versus the days it would take a recovery service to get around to doing the same thing at four times the cost..

Your software worked flawlessly. I had a boot drive that would continually loop and go into "safe mode" upon boot up. I could not boot into DOS to see what was out there. As a matter of fact, when I placed the drive in another machine and tried to access it, the drive was not recognized and I was asked to format it. I thought for sure this drive was trashed. I had over 3gb of photos on this drive. I first ran the free version on the faulty hard drive to see if it would even find what I was looking for. After it found what I was looking for, I purchased the full version and recovered all my data easily. Your software was very easy to used, and I would definitely recommend it to others. Kudos to all involved.
