This powerful tool recovers deleted partitions, files, and more, but it could be a tad complex for novice users. Arax Disk Doctor Data Recovery's interface is a lesson in good design. Information windows are easily resized, and toolbars and file menus are logically placed and everything is well-documented.

Novice-friendly wizards make it a snap to search for and recover deleted files. The time to scan a drive is entirely dependent on its size and complexity. Unfortunately, this utility doesn't estimate the time needed. You can easily stop a scan before it completes, but our tests took only moments for a 465GB drive. The wizard includes many novice-friendly options to simplify finding the deleted files. Restoring a recoverable file takes a mere click. Every step of the wizard is available through direct options for the advanced user.

Arax Disk Doctor Data Recovery is flexible enough to handle most drive types and partition problems. The demo version is limited to restoring files of less than 64KB and cannot recover partitions. This utility is strong enough for all advanced users and can be easily operated by novices. Recovering files is logical, efficient, and speedy. We can easily recommend this program for all users needing to recover lost files and repair drive partitions.

Repaired drive corrupted by faulty enclosure
DeerhavenSeptember 6, 2012
Pros
Did a good job rebuilding the MBR
Cons
None to be found.
Summary
When one of my external hard drive enclosures died it corrupted the disk. Arax DDDR was able to get this drive up and running again w/o loss of any data. Worked great for me!
Best recovery tool for lost/corrupt partitions
RobJohno1985July 1, 2012
Pros
Easy to use Fast/highly responsive Found all data on my deleted partition Restored using original file names and directory structure Much faster than the other applications I tried
Cons
None that I could find
Summary
I accidentally corrupted my D drive by cancelling an operation to resize the partition in GParted. I tried everything to get the partition restored, Check Disk, NTFS Fix, GParted, test disk, and nothing would work, the partition just came up as RAW in windows. So I decided I would need to use a recovery tool in order to retrieve my files and save them onto an external USB. I first tried some free tools, including PhotoRec. The problem with this software was that it renamed everything arbitrarily and put all files in a flat folder. Making it difficult to find anything at all really. Next I tried Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery and this had the same problem. Due to the partition being corrupt, I had to use the RAW recovery option and again this used arbitrary file names and a flat folder. It was also horrendously slow. Finally I tried Arax Disk Doctor Data Recovery. Initially I tried to use the recover partition feature, but the software told me it could not recover the partition as it overlaps a current active partition. Fair enough, I had expanded my C drive when I corrupted the D parition, so this makes sense. I exited the wizard and the software had saved my parition scan to the left pane, I could see my lost partition labelled 'Drive 0 [poor]'. I selected this drive and clicked scan. Almost instantly I could see all of my files, with original names and in the original folder structure in the right pane. From here you can select all or specific files and folders and click recover. This prompts you to select a destination and some other options, I chose my portable USB hdd and selected OK. The software started recovering my files to my external HDD, at a speed that I would say is equivalent to me copying actual files from my PC to USB HDD. I cannot recommend this software enough, it did exactly what I wanted in a quick an easy manner.
Works like a charm!!

Pros
When all O/S abandoned my disk, this utility recognized and recovered my data with relative ease and speed! I thought my data is lost forever, but will vouch for ARAX now..
Cons
Didn't see much (Although, one comment is that the UI Options could be a bit more in English. Even for tech guy like me, the options had to be tried and tested before understood
Summary
Great product, worth the money. Heartily recommend this to someone!
support definitely not 24/7
ross7777September 2, 2011
Pros
the software did find most of the lost data
Cons
After a dozen tries, email & calls they still haven't gotten my outlook fixed. The one tech I got said he didn't know how to fix it & said the engineer in Georgia would call after lunch. 3 days later no call. Live chat didn't work either.
Summary
Just because the demo shows data, don't expect it to get back into your Outlook 2000. Got a no one available the times I tried live chat. Authorization to run the purchased software came by email. The deletion problem I had blocked getting/sending email. Finally got program activated and still no luck.
Tried 6 others before selecting Disk Doctor
bobfox321August 5, 2009
Pros
Our 17 year old computer genius got all our family network computers ruined. All of the disk directories were gone. I tried 6 other supposed recovery programs. Some would recover a few but only DD recovered 100% of everything.
Cons
Earlier versions were obviously authored by a geek in geek language. This version is a 180 turn. It is vastly easier to use and understand. This company listened to my complaints and earlier reviews.
Summary
You have to be nuts if you do not evaluate this superior product. In my case, I did have to add a new and clean disk and OS to make it work but I got back 100% of everything on all 6 disks. Needless to say, son no longer has access to home computers. If I ever have another disk drive problem this will be my starting point for recovery instead of trying 6 other packages before Disk Doctor.
great program, it saved my life God bless
DaisssyMarch 1, 2009
Pros
it just did what is suppose to do: RECOVERED my data from the old hard drive
Cons
nothing This program does what it says it does.very simple to use.
Summary
great Tech Support Staff, the data recovery and partition restore worked very well. Well worth the price. but I still had to buy new hard drive. I am happy customer
Extremely poor product
yaralindiDecember 9, 2008
Pros
It was easy to setup and scan a 1TB RAID 0 array and find all of the files.
Cons
The program crashed repeatedly on recover. The licensing process was extremely onerous.
Summary
I got this program to help recover files on a RAID 0 array where the metadata had become corrupted but the files were fine. The trial version worked extremely well at scanning the drive and finding all of the files. I therefore bought a license for the product. Roughly 200 files into restoring the first directory, the program crashed. On reload, the program would not recreate the RAID. It crashed on every attempt to do so with cryptic Visual C++ errors.Technical support was contacted who then wanted information on my hardware; which was provided. The eventual solution to the problem was to uninstall the product, install the trial, create the virtual RAID, scan for files, load the registered version, register the license key, restore files until it crashed again, then repeat the process ad nauseum. This is a very poor product that should not be purchased.
Bluntly: didn't work at all
suburbanDKJune 12, 2008
Pros
Cons
Wasn't able to find the vast majority of deleted files that "Recovery" (freeware, aumha.org) and "R-Studio" (not too expensive and returned much more info than Recovery, data-recovery-software.net) did.
Summary
Works like a champ
KES69February 5, 2008
Pros
This program does what it says it does. It was surprisingly simple to use. <p>I was very nervous about tampering with the HD on my own, but with the help of Disk Doctor and a great Tech Support Staff, the data recovery and partition restore worked very well. Well worth the price, even if you only use it once.
Cons
The 'Help' section was good, but I felt it could have used a little more detail and definitions. Not a big issue, because their support staff responded very quickly to my questions.
Summary
Thank GOD for ARAX Disk Doctor!
vczfrSeptember 1, 2007
Pros
We got our drive back, and all of the irreplaceable documents and photographs. Magnifique! Merci, mille, pour tout!!! <p>The drive we "lost" was in an external harddrive casing. Win2000 system
