Recuva 1.33.451 (Freeware)

Recuva  is a freeware data recovery program, developed by Piriform, and runs under Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 and 98. Windows 7 support is preliminary, with more developments coming soon. It is able to recover files that have been "permanently" deleted and marked by the operating system as free space. The program can also be used to recover files deleted from flash/USB drives, memory cards or MP3 players.Recuva was described by vnunet.com as an "effective tool for undeleting or salvaging files we sent for recycling and deleted, in the past". The program works on both FAT and NTFS file systems. It is able to recover lost directory structure and automatically renames files when trying to recover two files of the same name.
