Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a data recovery software that can help you in recovering your deleted data from a formatted hard disk or even from lost partitions or logical drives. There are times when i delete a file quickly, and after a few days realize that i need it back. Sometimes, data may even be lost due to a virus, bad sectors and so. There are a lot of options including free ones but many can only recover data deleted from recycle bins and don’t offer many features. This software can be used to recover from a data loss that can happen due to a variety of reasons.

The interface of the software is plain and simple even for a newbie user. When you open it, it will tell you what to do and how to do it. It can recognize more than 300 types of file and can recover than quickly. You have to select a drive and it will scan the drive for lost files. The scan can generally take time depending on ‘Standard’ or ‘Advanced’ Scan or the size of your hard drive. It is quicker than most of the recovery software i have tried. After the scan, the results are displayed which can be filtered. You can also create an image of your drive which can be used in case of any future problems. It has a nice Photo recovery feature that can recover a variety of image types. It can recover your data even if you have formatted your hard disk with a different file system. It supports all the FAT and NTFS file systems. Some of its other features are

• Raw File Recovery
• Compressed file System recovery
• File Preview
• Save Scan option
• Advanced Search
• File Filter

I tried this software and it was able to recover many of my files which i had deleted around 4-5 months back too. This software costs $99 for the full version. If your data is very important, then this is a very good software to recover data in case of any loss.It runs on Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista.
