Data Rescue

Use Data Rescue to recover:

• crashed, corrupted or non-mounting hard drive
• deleted, damaged, or lost files
• reformatted or erased hard drive

One powerful new feature found in Data Rescue 4 is BootWell. Your Mac's main hard drive (sometimes referred to as the Main HD or Boot Drive) is where all of your computer files are stored. When there is a problem with this hard drive it can be very difficult, frustrating and time-consuming to get those files back. BootWell is an all-new feature that makes recovery of your main hard drive painless, fast, and easy.

• Works on all Mac hard drives even if they fail to mount or only partially operate
• Recovers digital pictures from your camera media even after it has been erased or reformatted
• Recover your entire Mac hard drive or just the files you need.
• Recovers all file types from any HFS/HFS+ formatted hard drive
• Tuned for all modern OS X versions 10.7.5 and later
• Recovers from any iMac, Macbook, Macbook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, MacPro, including Retina displays
• RAW data recovery is enabled from the entire Mac hard drive
• Supports Data recovery from NTFS-based Boot Camp Partitions

• Fixed launching on 10.7
• The startup disk is always shown (except in BootWell) but disabled and with a message to indicate users need to use a BootWell drive to scan. This should avoid confusion with it not showing up at all.
• When creating a BootWell drive, the "Data Rescue" partition gets reset so pre-existing data is destroyed
• An alert is shown at startup (only once) about DR’s change with storing multiple scans
• Fixed double-clicking partitions (which are disabled) in Create BootWell Drive which could start the BW creation process and crash
• Added a label to the Drive Failure Warning window to make it more clear that you have to select a drive for the Ignore/Details buttons to work
• The source list now updates when expert mode is toggled
• Documentation has been updated
• The backend process’ code has been modernized for 10.7+
