I'm no IT pro but my experience was just the opposite from previous review: Long story short, I accidentally formatted a hard drive & lost everything. "Recover My Files" got back about 99% of what I lost. I tried it again on a digital camera flash card after I had intentionally erased it (files had been safely copied to my PC first). I was totally surprised at how many files were recovered from the "blank" flash card. I found it works better if you specify only a few file types per recovery such as .jpg, .doc, .xls, etc.
 Totally useless program February 3, 2007

As an IT pro I have tried this program on numerous occasions and it has never once been able to recover anything valuable. Like all the other useless undelete programs I have tried, it's great at finding totally irrelevant temp files or other debris from several months or years ago, but completely worthless when attempting to salvage a meaningful file deleted an hour ago.
Not worth one penny. Manual backups are the only reliable way I have found to protect data. Don't waste your time on this junk - the only thing more frustrating than losing a significant file is dealing with a program that claims to be able to recover it but just winds up dealing in false promises and bogus hopes.
Great program. July 17, 2007

I have used this program on four occasions and have been able to recover all the files on a formatted disk on two occasions, all the files on a USB memory stick and recover about 90% of the files I tried to recover from a completely crashed HD.
Like the other reviewers who were able to use this I think it is an amazing program. I have no idea why the one person never got it to work, but if you have a problem and you are unsure about if it's worth the investment you can download a trial version and see if it is able to find your files. You can open the files to see if they are readable and pay for the full version later to recover everything it finds.
 Recover My Files August 9, 2007

I would have given this product a 5 star, however, the version that came from Amazon is an older version and when I ran it, it took 4 days instead of the 8 hours that it took me to run the latest version downloaded from the GetData website. I ended up returning it and downloaded the latest and it took me less because when I try to save, it took forever to do anything since it ate up all of my virtual memory from the machine.
To be fair, the latest version recovered all the files that I lost (I reformatted my HD accidently through recovering from a crash). I would still recommend it but I would get the latest even if you had to pay a little more.
Recovered most files off crashed hard drive January 14, 2008

I think this is an excellent product. My laptop hard drive crashed. I put it in a USB enclosure and bought RMF after reading reviews. It has a high rating, and I think it deserves it. I was able to recover most of my files off a drive with thousands of disk read errors.
A prior amazon review indicated that they got an old version from amazon.com and to pay more and get the most recent version. I was able to download the free upgrade to the latest version.
Because my hard drive had was bad, producing thousands of disk read errors, the recovery took a long time. It seams that each disk error has several seconds of retry. But stopping the scan after a sufficient amount of time, did cause the program to proceed. It would be nice if the delay (retry reads?) that occurs with each disk read error, could be reduced. I suspect that this is at a low level and may not be within RMFs control.
I was quite impressed that I was able to recover files off of this bad drive.
