MiniTool has been kind in offering our DCT readers a chance to win one of five Personal Standard licenses for their Power Data Recovery software. Each license is currently valued at $69 (US). MiniTool also offers a free version of this program, but it is has a 1GB recovery limit. To see the differences between the various licenses, see this Comparison Chart.

MiniTool Power Data Recovery free edition is the best all in one free data recovery software for Windows and server users. With only three-step, users could[sic] recover lost, deleted, formatted, corrupt files safely and with ease. ~ MiniTool

System Requirements

Power Data Recovery will work on Windows XP/7/8/10 and the Windows Server Operating System.

Ease Of Use

Note: It is extremely important that you do not install this software on a drive or partition that contains data you would like to recover. This is true for any program that may possibly overwrite the very data you are trying to retrieve.

When first run, Power Data Recovery will display this simple screen:

You can plainly see how easy this software is to use.

Undelete Recovery

For our example, I’ll choose Undelete Recovery and see what it finds. Clicking that button will bring you to a screen displaying a list of drives/partitions.

There is also a link that will open a web page containing a short video and other helpful instructions about using the Undelete Recovery tool. I chose a partition that contains some data, but is mainly used as a work space, so I expected it to have a whole bunch of deleted files. I was not disappointed!

Power Data Recovery found 87,292 files (a little over 11GB) and took roughly 17 minutes to recover and save them all to a location I chose. Again, be sure to choose a location that has enough room and also one which is not on the drive you are trying to recover from.

Conclusions ?

Power Data Recovery is a wonderful program that may just save your derriere in cases where you have inadvertently deleted files,  folders, and/or partitions. The above example should also remind us that deleting something does not mean it is necessarily gone. Many of the files that were recovered in this case were files that had not been used for many months and, in spite of many writes to this drive, were still recoverable. Amazing!

Professional data recovery services can cost many thousands of dollars, but this program may be all you need. I can recommend this program with no reservations whatsoever.

Note: The Personal Standard version of the license being offered in this giveaway contest does not provide for creating a bootable recovery medium.

  1. I would like to have such tool because it’s very useful to the daily admin work.

  2. I really could have used this a year ago when I accidentally formatted a 2TB drive. I got a lot back using Free NTFS Recovery Wizard but MiniTool Power Data Recovery free did a much better job. It is limited to 1GB of recovery, though. Sure would like to receive the Standard edition.
