When I test recovery programs, I use a faulty 16 Gb USB key.
The drive contains thousands of files but Windows recognize the drive with the message "You need to format the disk …".

Pros: iCare Data Recovery Pro recognized the drive, and found most of the files including the correct folder- and filenames!!!

Cons: iCare Data Recovery Pro didn’t find all files - It got stuck at a bad sector. Compared to the $30 price tag on the excellent Data Rescue PC3, $90 is probably too much.

Suggestions:
Show a sector count. That way the user can press cancel if the program gets stuck or
Allow scans from sector xxx to sector yyy or even better
If a sector is unreadable, make the program take a note and then move on.

Most recovery programs only find the files, not the folder- / filenames, and if you have thousands of files on a drive, it’s imperative that a recovery program can do just that. So to me this is a keeper.

Thanks to GoTD and Li Hongliang.

I have a drive with a corrupt partition, windows gives it a drive letter and asks to format (of course I click no).

This program when I select 'Lost Partition Recovery' (after a bit of waiting) can't even find the drive? Then I tried 'Deep Scan Recovery' again it can't find the drive?! Yet windows is still displaying the drive letter.

Useless.

In the iCare Data Recovery Pro program no "Activation" or "Registration" buttons.

Installer doesn't work. I have had this problem lately with other downloads. Windows gives no clue as to what is wrong; just that it has to close the program. When I do that an activation pane appears with the activation code, but no installation occurs.

You provide a registration key,which is nice, but no place to enter it!
Please correct.
Uninstalled.
