Handy Recovery allows users to view all files on a hard disc, floppy disc or memory card including any files that may have been deleted. It works with all Microsoft Windows file systems including the NTFS file system. The program can estimate the probability of restoring a deleted file, displaying the chances the file can be restored completely prior to starting the recovery process. Users can create virtual disc images and use the images to store deleted files for recovery later on. The software also works with disc partitions, allowing users to see which files were located in a partition even after the partition is formatted. To help users find deleted or lost files, a search feature is included with options to look by file name, date and size.http://www.handyrecovery.com/features.shtml
