DiskInternals Partition Recovery review
A read-only Windows recovery tool with broad source support and paid file export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DiskInternals Partition Recovery is Windows software for recovering files from lost, deleted, formatted, RAW, inaccessible, corrupted, or damaged partitions. It is suited to personal users, businesses, government teams, and third-party recovery services working with HDDs, SSDs, external drives, USB flash drives, memory cards, disk images, RAID, NAS, SAN, or remote Ext2/3/4 sources over SFTP. Full, Fast, and Reader recovery modes cover different recovery depths, while virtual partition and file-system reconstruction keeps the recovery process read-only.
Pricing is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. The Personal plan costs $39.95 USD for one user and covers non-commercial use and personal data recovery. The Business plan costs $219.95 USD and adds commercial or government use plus virtual disk export. The Professional plan is intended for third-party data-recovery services, with pricing available by contacting the vendor. The evaluation version allows scanning and previewing recoverable files, but a paid license is required to save or export them. This makes the product practical for assessing recoverability before committing to a purchase.
Its strongest fit is recovery work that combines Windows storage, removable media, file-system reconstruction, and forensic-image handling. Support includes NTFS, FAT, ReFS, Ext2/3/4, and other supported file systems, along with logical sources exposed from some RAID configurations. The product page distinguishes readable logical-source recovery from reconstructing an array itself, directing that work to DiskInternals RAID Recovery. Users who need a verified bootable recovery option, non-Windows support, or array reconstruction in the same product should choose an alternative. For Windows-focused partition and image recovery, its read-only workflow and broad source coverage make it a focused choice.
