Pandora Recovery – Find and Recover Deleted Files of Any Type
Pandora Recovery – Find and Recover Deleted Files of Any Type
Pandora Recovery is a powerful free tool that provides its users an effective way to attempt recovery of permanently deleted files. And that does not mean restoration of a file from Recycle Bin. Pandora Recovery actually recovers files permanently removed from Recycle Bin, files originally deleted using Shift + Delete keys bypassing Recycle Bin and files deleted from DOS prompt.
Pandora Recovery is not a backup tool – it can recover files that have been deleted months before Pandora Recovery was installed. And while the likelihood of successful recovery is negatively affected by the time passed since the deletion of files Pandora Recovery users were able to recover files eleven years after deletion and more than five years after re-formatting a hard drive!
Two flavors of Pandora Recovery
Pandora Recovery comes in two flavors, standalone "Pandora Recovery" (free for personal use) and portable "Pandora Mobile Recovery" (part of "Pandora PowerPack"). And while the core functionality is the same in both versions you are strongly encouraged to go with the portable version if you answer "yes" to any of the following questions:
Do you need to recover data from your primary drive (one that hosts "Windows" or "WinNT" folder and your "Documents & Settings" folder)?
Do you need to recover data from more than one computer?
Do you need to recover data from a computer that does not have Internet access?
Do you want to use the software within an organization? (If you are not-for-profit contact us, please)
Do you want to impress friends and family with some forensic magic?
Do you want to sell the software or forensic services?
Are you thinking about getting our data-retention oriented PC Pandora software?
Pandora Mobile Recovery – Portable software that requires no installation
Pandora Power Pack Pandora Mobile Recovery is a portable version of Pandora Recovery that requires no installation and is distributed together with a removable storage unit (1GB USB jump drive) as a part of Pandora PowerPack.
Every user of Pandora Mobile Recovery enjoys an increase in the data recovery success rate through two major direct benefits of this portable version:
no deleted data gets corrupted during the installation process. (Each installation of any software takes up some space on your hard drive. This will likely overwrite some of the deleted data making it unrecoverable.)
no deleted data gets corrupted during recovery. If you recover deleted files to a drive that the data originally resided on, the recovered data will have to take some of the space on the disk. (It is very likely that some of the deleted data will get overwritten and corrupted in the process.) With Pandora Power Pack you can simply recover the deleted data to the Pandora Mobile Recovery removable storage unit.
In addition to that, every user gets:
1GBMB USB jump drive

$20 discount on a single PC Pandora order (coupon code delivered together with Pandora PowerPack)

Standalone Pandora Recovery
Standalone version of Pandora Recovery comes as a downloadable software and implements all the features of its portable cousin. There is no limit in size, number or type of files that can be recovered. It is fully functional and completely free for personal use, but it has to be downloaded and installed, which increases a chance of data corruption and permanent loss of deleted content.
If you think Pandora Mobile Recovery and Pandora PowerPack are more than what you need, or if your billing and shipping address is not in US or Canada you can download the standalone version Pandora Recovery for free.
How does it work?
When you delete a file on FAT32 or NTFS file system, its content is not erased from disk but only reference to file data in File Allocation Table or Master File Table is marked as deleted. It means that you might be able to recover deleted files, or make it visible for file system again.
Search Deleted Files – Click Image to EnlargePandora Recovery allows you to find and recover recoverable deleted files from NTFS and FAT-formatted volumes, regardless of their type – you can recover pictures, songs, movies or documents. Pandora Recovery will scan your hard drive and build an index of existing and deleted files and directories (folders) on any logical drive of your computer with supported file format. Once the scanning is complete you have full control over which files to recover and what destination to recover them to. You can BROWSE the hierarchy of existing and deleted files, or you can use SEARCH functionality to find a deleted file if you remember at least one of the following:
- full or partial file name,
- file size,
- file creation date, or
- file last accessed date
On top of that, Pandora Recovery allows you to preview deleted files of certain type (images and text files) without performing recovery. This feature becomes really important if you are forced to recover deleted files to the same drive. Currently you can preview files having several image file types (BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, ICO,TIF, TGA, PCX, WBMP, WMF, JP2, J2K, JBG, JPC, PGX, PNM, RAS, CUR) and several text file types (TXT, LOG, INI, BAT, RTF, XML, CSS). Quick Viewer allows you preview file contents as text if it cannot find appropriate viewer for it. To use quick viewer you can select deleted file and or click the Quick Viewer icon or right click on deleted file and select ‘Quick View’. Quick View will then display a preview of deleted file
