R-Studio 5.4 (build 134580)

You have to turn to a data recovery tool if you accidentally delete a file you need or if something goes wrong and the file you need is gone. The R-Tools Technology Inc-developed application R-Studio is a powerful data recovery tool that brings deleted files back to life, regardless if they were accidently deleted by you, if a virus deleted them, or if some other data loss accident lead to their deletion.

The R-Studio installation file is 19.2MB in size. A setup wizard will show up when you run the file and will guide you through the installation process. You can install R-Studio on anything from Windows 2000 up to Windows 7. It must be mentioned here that there’s a Mac and a Linux version of R-Studio as well.

R-Studio’s double-pane interface presents your drives to the left and info on the selected drive to the right. At the top you have buttons for the application’s main functions; down at the bottom, logs are displayed. You can scan a drive in order to locate deleted files, and then bring them back to life, or you can create an image of a drive, then work with that image for your data recovery needs. With the help of R-Studio, you can recover data lost because you accidentally emptied the contents of the Recycle Bin, a power failure lead to you losing files, a virus maliciously deleted your files, you formatted a partition and realized you left important files behind, the hard disk has bad sectors, or the partition structure was damaged.

Data recovery is always a gamble. No matter what data recovery tool you use, it is not 100% guaranteed that you will get your lost files back. But with R-Studio your chances of getting those files back are quite high.

You should know that R-Studio will come in handy on other occasions as well, not just when you need to recover deleted or lost files. Besides being a data recovery tool, R-Studio is also an advanced RAID reconstruction module, a feature-rich text and hexadecimal editor, and a disk copying and imaging module.

Please note that R-Studio is only free to try – the trial version will not recover files larger than 64kb.
