Today a friend handed me a 2GB flash drive that had had an encounter with a virus. It was full of personal photos and documents. All the file names were replaced with garbage characters, and no file would open.

I use Recuva all the time, and have always had good success with it. But this was different. Recuva only returned the lately-deleted virus files. Because all the other files were not deleted, Recuva couldn't find them. Windows saw that they were there, and saw how big they were - it just couldn't access them.

So I googled and found DiskDigger, and the first time I ran it, it recovered hundreds of photos and personal documents - some of them priceless.

So, yes, I would recommend you have DiskDigger. I will keep it, thank you.

For others searching a similar problem: when I tried to access any file on the drive, Win (XP and Vista) would return: incorrect parameter.

Thank you to those who create these quality apps and share them.
