The you can add your license to upgrade at the PRO or Enterprise version (if you have buy it) or simple start using the free edition:

drilldisk-5

Using the product is quite simple and easy: just locate your disk/partition and start recover your files:

drilldisk-4

It will take some times for the indexing process and then you can start the recover process that it’s really fast and easy.

diskdrill-recover

You can reduce the scan and indexing time by enable the data protection on the specific volume that you need. Also you can exclude some files from the protection:

diskdrill-win-recovery-vaultThe tool is quite easy to use and also fast enough (1 TB in few minutes). It’s nice that can can use also images instead of partition, but actually does not support virtual disks (you can mount VHD or VMDK before try to use this tool, but have a native support should be nice in a future version).

Should also be interesting have an Enterprise version that support VMFS recovery (actually there are so few tools that can handle file recovery on this filesystem).

Note for the readers: I’ve got some PRO keys for my tests, if anybody is interested on this product just drop me a note and I can give you a PRO key (at least for the first that will ask a key).
