DMDE
DMDE is a powerful tool for data searching, editing, and recovery on disks. It may recover directory structure and files in some complicated cases through the use of special algorithms when other software can't help. The application is listed, reviewed, and awarded in magazines and catalogs. DMDE has a number of freeware features such as a disk editor, a simple partition manager (e.g. allows partition undeleting), a tool to create disk images and clones, a RAID constructor, and file recovery from the current panel. Paid editions support file and directory recovery without the restriction, DMDE Professional Edition has additional features to recover data for clients (compare editions). Algorithms of thorough search and analysis effectively reconstruct directory structure and recover files after some complex file system damages (such as format, partition manager failure, and others). It is possible to find data quickly without a full scan in the case of minor filesystem damage.
