Active@ Partition Recovery for DOS (freeware) can recover deleted or damaged partition from a DOS console environment as long as its location on hard disk drive has not been overwritten yet. If you wisely created MBR backup using Active@ Partition Recovery, you can always restore MBR and partition information.
Active@ Partition Recovery for Windows will help you if a non-system partition is lost, i.e. you can boot Windows, install and run the software using Windows Operating System to recover deleted or damaged partitions located on data volumes, attached HDDs, as well as on external USB drives and Memory Cards (SunDisk, MemoryStick, CompactFlash, etc...). Boot system configurator (boot.ini) is corrected automatically to keep the system bootable. Also, damaged Volume Boot Sectors are corrected to maintain integrity of the partition. Software allows to fix a damaged MBR and to delete invalid partitions.
Active@ Partition Recovery Professional package contains both DOS and Windows versions of Active@ Partition Recovery. It is a universal solution to recover both system partitions (from a DOS environment) and non-system ones (in Windows environment). It includes the Active@ File Recovery tool to recover deleted files and files on damaged partitions. File Recovery is the only option when partition recovery was unsuccessful due to serious damage to the partitions data.
NEW! Active@ Partition Recovery Enterprise Toolkit is an ultimate data recovery tool set. In addition to the DOS and Windows versions of the software, it contains a downloadable Bootable Windows ISO Image (WinPE based Active@ Boot Disk Lite) that you can burn to a CD-ROM or write to a USB Flash drive and boot Windows from this CD-ROM/USB to recover partitions (including the system ones) as well as to recover particular files and folders from within the familiar Windows environment. Active@ File Recovery utility is also included to allow you to save your files and folders in case of unsuccessful partition recovery (for example, the file system itself is severely damaged and Windows is unable to recognize the partition after recovery).
