Scaven - Version 1.02 SCAVEN is a micro-tool for data recovery. It was designed to perform unattended multi-string searches through large hard drives. It records position of matches found to the output text file in a sector:offset:match format. Those who ever had to dig the data from the drive that developed bad sectors, already know how excruciating exercise it could be (especially if it was say a 20 GB drive). If disk editor program ask user confirmation on every single bad sector - it may keep him/her tied to computer for hours. Or if there was more weak spots - not in continuos chain - operation may take days. SCAVEN gracefuly deals with this problem by performing unattended fully automatic hard drive search without nagging the user for assistance. SCAVEN is an effective tool and time saver in the recovering data from: files permanently deleted, files lost through overwrite, accidentally formatted drives, drives with damaged MBR / lost partitions, drives with corrupted FATs, and drives which developed bad sectors. MAJOR FEATURES: * Perform multiple-string search in single pass * Work with any size LBA hard-drive (up to 138GB should be OK) * Autodetect drive geometry (CHS and LBA) * Can access drives not visible for DOS * Use standard text files for input / output * Was written in a plain assembler for the sake of size / speed * To remove program just delete its directory.
