Undeleting files is always a fun experience, filled with trepidation and
a suspenseful excitement tastefully layered with hope. You can find it
online at:

Pandora Recovery is a powerful free tool that provides its users an
effective way to attempt recovery of permanently deleted files. And that
does not mean restoration of a file from Recycle Bin. Pandora Recovery
actually recovers files permanently removed from Recycle Bin, files
originally deleted using Shift + Delete keys bypassing Recycle Bin and
files deleted from DOS prompt…And while the likelihood of successful
recovery is negatively affected by the time passed since the deletion of
files Pandora Recovery users were able to recover files deleted more
than five years after deletion and from re-formatted drives!

This is a tool I could have used helping out tearful master’s degree
students participating in the Pathways to Advance Virtual Education
(PAVE) grant. The grant paid for them to earn a degree in Curriculum and
Instruction with Instructional Technology specialization from Houston
Baptist University.

For a fistful of dollars, you can also get Pandora Mobile Recovery
as a portable app on a 512 MB USB stick for $19.95 each. The web site
points out that Pandora Recovery is free for non-commercial use –
with Pandora Mobile Recovery you can charge friends and family for the
services, or use it within your existing business operation

 

Apparently, it works like this:

Pandora Recovery allows you to find and recover recoverable deleted
files from NTFS-formatted volumes, regardless of their type – you can
recover pictures, songs, movies or documents. Pandora Recovery will scan
your hard drive and build an index of existing and deleted files and
directories (folders) on any logical drive of your computer with
supported file format. Once the scanning is complete you have full
control over which files to recover and what destination to recover them
to.

Worth the investment?
