Damaged file recovery that actually works.

JFileRecovery is a tool that lets you recover files from corrupted media, mainly CDs and DVDs and in less frequent instances, hard disks and flash drives.

The principle on which it works is, when a file is reported as corrupt by the system it is likely that just small part(s) of it are actually damaged. JFileRecovery lets you recover the undamaged portions of the file and optionally retry recovering the damaged portions. It lets you set the size of data blocks it tries to recover, so you can start by setting a larger block size and then if block x is damaged and unrecoverable you can reduce the block size and rescan block x so you can recover any part of it that may be undamaged. It is even possible to eject a disk, clean it, pop it back in and continue scanning with a different block size. You can also set the error timeouts, the time before the software gives up on a block. Because of these caveats JFileRecovery works best with multimedia files... photos, videos, music. The author recommends you avoid using it on executable files.

JFileRecovery is freeware and has a very easy to use, no-nonsense interface. It is a Java app and you'll need Java installed on your machine to run it.

Two Mini File Utilities for Geeks

Here are two rather longwindedly named, but tiny & useful utilities for geeks. Each of these utilities enhances your file properties box with a tab of its own.

 

febooti fileTweak Hex Editor is a hex editor that embeds itself into every file's property box.

 

febooti fileTweak Hash & CRC lets you calculate CRC & several other checksum values right from a file's property box.

 

Both utilities are freeware. They don't seem to slow down the load of the properties box. The hex editor does not work on very large files but it loaded a 200+ MB file on my system fairly easily. Just remember - this is a very handy quickfix utility but not a full-fledged, specialized app.

ReNamer - A fantastic file rename utility

Cybernet recently reviewed ReNamer, a very impressive file renaming utility that definitely deserves a mention.

ReNamer (freeware) has the best interface I've seen in any utility in this category & is one of the few renaming utilities that lets you feel completely in charge of even very complex operations.
