Your product was the best and did the most! But I don't think anything can recover the data I lost. It recovered what I already had, which was more than previous products, but none of the 3.5 weeks of data that was missing. If I thought the missing data was there, I would have definitely paid $50 to retrieve, and MAYBE $100 if I was Positive that all of the missing data was there. But it wasn't, so it wasn't worth $100.

---

Start DataNumen Data Recovery:

and set the scan options before the scan process.

After starting the scan process, the progress bar

![Progress Bar]()

will indicate the scan progress. During the process, you can click ![Stop Scan]() button to stop the scan process.

After the scan process, if any lost and deleted files or folders are recoverable, you will see a preview of these files:
