The program is simple and at the same time quite powerful, while it has an additional free function for creating a disk image. Incredibly, you can have a disk image of a working operating system with you and not be afraid to experiment with your computer. Also, using this utility, you can easily recover photos, videos, images, audio files, important and secondary documents, etc.

The algorithm of the DiskInternals Partition Recovery is quite simple: you set the file search parameters (file type, target disk), then scan. Next, a list of found files that can still be restored will appear. The subsequent free preview feature will save you unnecessary costs if (and this is extremely unlikely) you do not like the performance of the application. In the end, buy a software license and you will receive a license key to save all recovered files to any other storage device.
