FileFinder is an excellent general purpose program to recover deleted items. While many data rescue software programs limit you to one particular version of Windows or one particular Windows file system, FileFinder supports all of these. Another failing of most item retrieval programs is that they do not support Windows universal applications such as USB flash drives, compact flash cards and other types of digital storage media. It can be safely said that if a digital storage device can be connected to your Windows PC you may rest assured FileFinder is capable of opening that device and carefully searching through it for any deleted or reformatted folderss. Consider that when a data recovery software company lists many different software programs for each application such as a program specifically for camera files and another for iPods are misrepresenting the entire restoration process.
In terms of Microsoft Windows files one is essentially the same as the next. Yes, a Microsoft word document differs in construction from a PowerPoint file or a Nikon camera image. But when a quality file rescue program such as FileFinder is scanning for deleted items it does not need to differentiate one from the next, it merely needs to find a space on the hard drive or other digital media that has been marked as available yet still contains data. FileFinder scans that data and presents it in list form for the option to recover deleted items.
