PARTIAL copy-paste...
CONCLUSION
When I first started to use MunSoft Easy Drive Data Recovery, I thought it would be another one of those pathetic data recovery files developed by a kid in his mom’s basement. While I don’t know where MunSoft Easy Drive Data Recovery has been developed (it could, I suppose, have been developed in someone’s basement), I do know it is one of the better, more powerful data recovery tools I have come across.
However, the fact that it doesn’t have the ability to create bootable media really mitigates the program’s usefulness. This is compounded by the fact that the developer wants $59.95 for the program. I’m not going to say $60 is a high price for recovering your precious files (after all, anyone will pay a measly $60 to recover the childhood photos of their children, for example) but $60 is a high price when the program doesn’t offer bootable media.
Overall, it is hard for me to formally recommend MunSoft Easy Drive Data Recovery due to the lack of bootable media support. It is a good program, yes, but not a program I would spend $60 on. My recommendation is freeware Testdisk & PhotoRec. Testdisk & PhotoRec is not user-friendly but is easily the most powerful data recovery software I have used… and it can be run outside of Windows (i.e. it supports bootable media).
Karma!
