Recover lost or deleted data, files, photos and videos

Partially failed, corrupted or quick reformatted disks

CnW Recovery is a program to recover and restore data from all CDs, DVDs, hard drives and memory chips. It will recover data from damaged and corrupted disks and on CDs and DVDs will provide a large amount of forensic analysis of the media including partial files, deleted files as well as data stored in unallocated space.

The comprehensive program is configured with many options ranging from basic data recovery of CDs, and camera memory chips, up to full and automatic forensic analysis of most media. Full logs are created for the forensic applications, along with data hashing for security to verify that data has not been changed since restored.

     

The basic functions of CnW are to list the disk properties, and to restore the data in one of several possible ways.  Where ever possible, the program will determine the best mode of operation, but this can normally be overridden where the user has determined that a different mode may be more appropriate. CnW can be used to restore data from almost any Windows compatible storage device including the following

               

• Hard disk drives
• Raid 0 configuration
• Floppy disks
• CDs and CD-RW
• DVD and DVD-RW, including mini DVD
• Iomega Rev drives
• Optical disks
• Flash memory
• Camera memory
• Thumb drives and Pen drives
• Jaz drives  1GB  2GB
• Zip drives  100MB, 200MB, 750MB
• Disk Image files

The program will operate with USB, IDE, Firewire, S-ATA or SCSI drives on a Windows 2000, or Windows XP. Image files may also be generated and used rather than the original media.

Logically it will read disks and media formatted as FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, MAC HFS Plus, ISO9600, Joliet, UDF. MTF (.BKF files). It supports multiple partition drives, and multi-session CDs/ DVDs. Each type of media, and how to recover from it is described in detail in the relevant section of the Recovery chapter in this manual.
