Portable Disk Recoup 2.1 Revision 1

Disk Recoup uses both high- and low-level disk commands and intelligent algorithms to copy the raw data from the source drive to another hard drive. Because it accesses the source drive strictly in read-only mode, Disk Recoup presents no risk to the source drive except for normal wear and tear.

Disk Recoup can be used in the following cases:

1. A hard drive contains many bad media spots (bad sectors) which cause conventional data recovery utilities to hang.
2. A hard drive is accessible after the computer is booted up but may go offline later without warning.
3. A hard drive is detected by the computer BIOS at boot time but may cause the computer to hang later.
4. The drive electronics have partially failed and only respond to basic disk commands.
5. Disk Recoup does not work in the following cases:
6. A hard drive has a mechanical failure and does not spin up.
7. The drive electronics have completely failed and do not respond to any disk commands.
8. A hard drive is not detected by the BIOS when the computer is turned on
9. It supports IDE drives and SATA drives, SCSI, SAS and USB drives, Zip drives, CD, DVD, memory cards (such as Memory Stick, Compact Flash, MMC, SD, xD, etc.), and other removable devices.
