Like its name would suggest, Data Rescue PC3 is an application designed to recover data from your PC when the files on your hard drive have been lost or damaged. The primary appeal of Data Rescue is that Prosoft includes an application disc that works even if Windows won’t boot because of a system crash. If errors, a power failure, or a virus corrupt your copy of Windows or the computer’s hard drive, you may still be able to reclaim files. Data Rescue PC also gives you the ability to copy all the files from a drive you think may be failing, so you have a backup on an external storage device, a second internal hard drive, or another storage location on your network.When using Data Rescue as a bootup CD, you can select a Standard mode with step-by-step directions or an Advanced mode, which lets you view more detailed file information. After selecting the drive and allowing time for the scan to finish, we picked our Destination drive, and the files copied over without a hitch.
When we installed Data Rescue on our test PC, it offered us a Select Source window where we could select any of the storage drives (and the associated partitions) connected to our computer. Once the drive was scanned, we could navigate the folder directory or search the files for specific file types to clone onto our external hard drive.
