Spotmau Data Recovery Kit is the 2010 upgrade from their previous Data Rescue tool. One of the utilities included in Spotmau Powersuite, it is designed to recover and restore deleted, damaged, corrupted, formatted or otherwise lost data.
It uses a proprietery raw HD level rescue technology and is therefore often able to recover data even when other tools cannot do anything.
The first part of the kit is the Undelete wizard:
Undelete Tool
It can search for deleted files, including those that have been erased even from the Windows recycle bin, and restore them. This works with a good degree of reliability, however it has to be done as soon as possible after the file was deleted.
If you wait for several days or weeks, it is likely that the location on your hard drive where the deleted file is still located (invisible to Windows), gets overwritten with new data - and then it is no longer possible to restore it.
Unformat Tool
The Unformat tool allows to rescue files from a partition or disk that you have accidentally formatted. It works with all kinds of filesystems, such as NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, and others.
The third part of the data recovery kit is the Raw Rescue wizard:
This tool is a "last-resort" utility. It can scan even severely damaged partitions and files, and attempt to recover the data in still intact clusters from the header information and additional clues.
You can read more on the functions and details of the data recovery kit on the Spotmau website, as well as download it directly from there:
