PC Inspector Smart Recovery is a robust program for Windows that allows users to recover data stored on faulty hard drives. It is necessary to mention that the tool supports both FAT and NTFS systems.

Installation notes

It is not recommended to install the utility on the storage component from which you want to recover data. The developers advise deploying and launching the software on a separate hard drive.

Main capabilities

The application features a simple and intuitive graphical user interface that provides access to various functions. For example, you have the ability to locate and identify storage devices even if the boot sector or file allocation table was damaged. It is also possible to restore items along with their original time and data, as well as work with network drives.

Special recovery

Another advantage of using this program is a feature called Special Recovery. Basically, it enables you to recover files with no links in the directory. You can retrieve items with AVI, MOV, BMP, PNG, DOC, XLS, EXE, GIF, HTML and other extensions. Alternatively, you may use the Advanced Scan mode of another diagnostics utility called Smart Data Recovery.
