General review
The GUI is ugly, but it’s not the esthetics that matter it’s the products performance. DOC Regenerator is a highly useful and effective product that restores your lost or deleted. It works by finding deleted copies of a range of Word documents (97 and 2003) on both a FAT32 and NTFS partition, (6 documents on each for a 12 total.) The software did a stellar job on recovering all my test files, as well as a large number of fragments from Word files deleted previously. Over 800 fragments were uncovered between the 2 partitions. It surprisingly takes up low amounts of memory too. Recovering deleted and overwritten documents is simple. If a Microsoft Word document was at one time deleted, the program will scan the entire disk to find contents of the deleted document. If the document was overwritten, it will be regenerated from file fragments found on the disk.
It does take a very long time to define one directory. The first scan took only 15 minutes or so, but it took hours for the word files. A search feature couldn’t hurt, or a feature that let’s you search for a specific file you want to find instead of pulling up everything.
DOC Regenerator is ugly and expensive but does get the job done. I wouldn’t recommend it but it does work, just get something cheaper, It does have a 30 day money back guarantee after all.
