There are many issues, from viruses to faulty hardware, which may end with lost files or erased partitions. In situations like this, the first thing you need to do is keep your calm and don't panic. The next step is to install a data recovery utility, because there is a great chance that your files are still on the hard drive. Comfy File Recovery provides a set of powerful tools for restoring deleted data, as well as a familiar environment, to make this process as easy as possible. Furthermore, it features two scanning methods, to ensure that you will find what you are looking for.

Installing the software does not involve going trough a lengthy setup process. The wizard will guide you through a series of basic settings, which can be made even by inexperienced users. Comfy File Recovery supports NTFS and FAT partitions as well as removable devices, such as USB flash drives, memory cards and others.

Comfy File Recovery's interface looks and feels just like a standard explorer window. You can browse through your files and folders the same way, by double clicking icons or with the aid of a tree menu. When you access a partition, the software will perform a quick analysis before it displays any contents. You will notice a series of additional folders on each drive. Some of them are deleted folders, so you may recognize their names, while others contain lost and found system files and other data.

It is possible to perform a new analysis with the aid of a wizard. Besides re-scanning a partition, the wizard lets you set the program to look for specific file types, like archives, audio or video files, images, documents or others. This standard scanning method will find your data by using names, dates, attributes and other details, which are available within the files. Unfortunately, this information is not available in all files that were deleted, but Comfy File Recovery can also perform a content aware analysis. Unlike the standard scanning mode, this one will find deleted files by looking for their signatures. The process takes longer to complete, because it is more thorough. The good news is that Comfy File Recovery will display the results in real time, during the scanning process. If you find what you are looking for, you can just stop the process and recover your data.

You can start a content aware analysis by launching the same wizard or by accessing a folder, on the software's interface. Before the process begins, you can target one or more file types and set Comfy File Recovery to look for files of a certain size. The results are organized automatically, in separate folders, according to their extensions. A different wizard will help you recover the found data. It places various options at your disposal, enabling you to save the files on your hard drive, burn them to a disc, create a virtual ISO image or upload the data to a FTP server.

Pros

Comfy File Recovery can find and recover almost any type of file. It can perform a fast analysis or a thorough one, which increases your chances of finding your deleted files. The software can recover entire partitions, create disc images and mount them and much more. The interface has a familiar design, so it will not take long to get used to the program or its functions.

Cons

Recovering files is not possible while using the software's trial version. Comfy File Recovery offers a fast, effective and reliable solution for recovering deleted files. Thanks to its intuitive functions and its explorer-like interface, you can restore your lost data without any difficulties.
