DMDE : File & Partition Recovery Software for Windows

[Batu69]

When it comes to file and data recovery software, most of us immediately think of programs like Recuva. Although Recuva is a very efficient data recovery software, it excels only in file and folder based recovery.

 

If you are trying to recover volumes and partitions from a disk, then you have to look for a much more advanced software like DMDE (DM Disk Editor). The free software not only proves itself to be an advanced data recovery software but it also acts as a data searching and editing tool. It is able to recover directory structures and files even in the most complicated cases.

 

You start by selecting a device or disk in DMDE. It offers to open the disks in a variety of ways – by accessing their partitions (volumes) or by directly accessing the physical drives. You can also open disk images and sectors using this tool.

 

 

Once a disk or device is open, you can perform a scan on it for possible files, folders and other data. Depending on what you aim to look for, you can choose to perform a raw disk scan or scan for the partitions. Once the scanning is finished, you will have in front of you all of the disk’s contents, including the possibly lost files or folders. You can choose to reconstruct the file system which recovers the damaged directory structure even in complex data damage operations like repartitioning or formatting. You can also recover individual files that were lost through accidental file delete operations.

 

 

DMDE uses special algorithms that can recover files even in the complex file system damages like when the computer shuts down while you are partitioning the disk or the disk gets formatted and all the data is lost. It even supports disk cloning to create sector-by-sector images of the disk and to write them back to the disks.

 

Conclusion: DMDE is an advanced data recovery software that supports almost all the popular file-systems and can be run from DOS, Linux and Windows.

DMDE is portable and runs just after extracting. You can download the DMDE software from http://dmde.com/.

When it comes to file and data recovery software, I immediately think of Recover my files.

The absolute best file and data recovery is done with forensic software.  When files absolutely had to be recovered the systems were always given to me since the forensic software I used could recover almost anything including, in one case, files that had been deleted from a drive 6 years before I ran the forensic software on it.  I have also used HDD Regenerator and SpinRite 6 and had remarkable success with both of them in recovering entire drives.

 

As far as DMDE is concerned, the only really viable distro is the Professional version at $95 (75 Euro) which even then has the activation tied to the hardware so that any change in hardware (or even BIOS upgrade as they mention) requires a new license, which can get very expensive. You can only run one copy simultaneously per license, which doesn't make a lot of sense, unless you are the seller, and there are limitations on the number of client machines it can be run on and when.  This is the most restrictive licensing I have ever seen in a piece of Professional level software and definitely not worth the money.

my lessen in life is best to backup everything, all these software are time consuming and never yield results as much as I always read what's best here and there, they all sucked
