In their own words
Active@ Partition Recovery
Active@ Partition Recovery is a toolkit for recovering deleted or damaged logical drives and partitions in Windows, WinPE recovery disk, and Linux LiveCD environments. QuickScan searches for recently deleted partitions that have not since been formatted or overwritten. SuperScan uses a low-level scan to find older deletions, including partitions that have been formatted. If a file system is severely damaged and volume recovery is not possible, Last Chance can recover files by signature. Supported file systems include NTFS, ReFS, exFAT, FAT, HFS+, APFS, UFS, XFS, JFS, Ext2/3/4, and BtrFS. Supported media include SATA, eSATA, SCSI, SSD, NVMe, RAID arrays, USB flash disks, memory cards, and external USB drives. The software can repair damaged MBR and GPT structures, back up partition information, roll back recovery changes, and create or open raw and compressed disk images, including VMware images. Freeware costs nothing and detects and previews partitions and files, but omits recovery in place, boot-sector repair, and MBR/GPT backups and restores.
