Zero Assumption Recovery - Version 8.4 Zero Assumption Recovery is a powerful read-only data recovery solution that can recover all files, including those with long names or files containing non-Latin characters (e.g. French). Native NTFS compression is supported as well. Working from within Windows 2000, XP or 2003, ZAR can recover FAT and NTFS volumes, including those located on a hardware RAID0 or RAID5. Includes a digital image retrieval feature and an automatic scan for partitioning information. Zero Assumption Recovery works in read-only mode, which means that it does not modify the affected drive and thus there is no risk of incurring any additional damage. A small drawback of this approach is that you have to have another data storage (typically another HDD) available with which to transfer your data.
