I just switched from Norton AV to Avast!.
Avast! requires that I set what areas to scan. This laptop is running on Vista Home Premium, and has a ‘D:’ drive for recovery files. Should I make the scan run on this hard disk partition?
yes for your answer.
Avast should scan the entire comp.

Active@ Disk Image. Hard disk recovery solution, backup, clone and image computer software
Active@ Disk Image is a PC backup solution for an entire computer or any sets of PC disks(including removable & optical), including operating system, applications and user files.
Video text:
I will discuss how to image all your important disk data including the operating system, application files and your user data.
Any type of hard disk can be imaged such as IDE, SATA, RAIDed disks and SSD Solid State Disks.
Optical CDs, DVDs and Blue Ray disks can be imaged completely.
Removable disks like flash memory cards and USB memory sticks can be imaged.
In the event of data loss any image can be restored to its original condition.
Active@ Disk Image has various methods for operation with disk image files. Ill provide a brief explanation of each method.
Disk to Image The purpose of Disk to Image is to copy all occupied disk space into the image file. This type of operation can be done while Windows is running by utilizing a snapshot. The size of the image files is the same or smaller than the original data.
RAW Image The purpose of a RAW image is to copy all disk space on a bit to bit level which can be helpful for imaging uncommon operating systems. The size of the image file is the same as the whole disk space unless compression is used to reduce the image.
Clone The purpose of the Clone disk operation is to directly copy the whole disk to another disk. The target disk should be large enough to contain the occupied data.
Explore Image The Explore image gives you the ability to view the contents of an image and copy selected files or directories from the disk image file.
Verify Image The verify image operation confirms the integrity of the image to be correct and precise.
Image to Disk An image file serves as a backup should anything go wrong with your system. The purpose of Image to Disk is to restore your data from the image file back to the original disk or a new disk. Should the new disk be a different capacity, disk partitions may be resized.
Schedule Task A Schedule task allows you to automate the imaging process by running in the background. You will be able to create daily, weekly or monthly scheduled backups of your desktop or server systems.

What is the best app for file recovery from a formatted hard drive?
well, I have a large hard drive from which I need to make a recovery, it has been formatted..a while ago and I want to recover it’s files….I already tried "Get Data Back" and it didnt work, is there anything better than that?
I am asking specifically about the performance of "get data back" compared to other programs, I do not need clarification on the factors that favor recovering the files
Depends upon how long ago, and more importantly how much usage the computer has seen since then.
If the drive was formatted a month ago but never had anything written to it, and has been sitting unused in a closet since then- recovery programs have an excellent chance.
If the system has been used regularly since then and had programs installed and files saved, recovery chances go down the drain because areas of the hard disk containing those old files have now been overwritten with different data.
You might try Pandora Recovery or Final Recovery- those are pretty good but subject to the same restrictions mentioned above.
