Review:

When my harddrive died, along with my work, financial details and digital photos - I was, understandably, very stressed, and not in the least impressed. To then find out that my backup cd's had been scratched left my panicking, it was one disaster after another.

Thankfully though, I found Bad copy pro online, and immediatley forked out the money in the hope of recovering the irreplacable. Unfortunatley though, out of 4 cd's, I only managed to get the equivelent of about 1 cd's of recovered files - which was far below what I was expecting from what I had read on their website. Compounding this was the lack of support offered - it was a case of to bad, so sad, next customer please, that made me feel like I'd received a bad case of food poisoning in McDonalds.

All of this probabally stemmed from my high expectations of the products, but for something with a limited success rate, I'm not sure my money was well spent - I would do a lot of research into any alternatives before buying bad copy pro, but then again - at least these guys are professional about their work, compared to some of the other unscrupulus (and offten more expensive) opperations that currently abide for this same purpose.

Conclusion:

Perhaps my expectations where to high, but for 30 dollars, I cant really complain, when it managed to recover at least some of my irreplacable memories.
