Starus Partition Recovery review
Deep Windows partition reconstruction with a $100 one-time price and no RAID recovery.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Starus Partition Recovery is Windows data-recovery software for recovering files and folders from deleted, formatted, corrupted, inaccessible, or repartitioned partitions. It is aimed at people who need more than a basic deleted-file scan, particularly when partition structures or file systems are damaged. Recovery covers hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, and memory cards, with quick and comprehensive analysis modes for different recovery situations.
Its standout capability is partition and file-system reconstruction. The software can rebuild corrupted file systems from scratch and recover partition tables and MBR records. Pre-recovery file previews, search, and filtering help identify useful data before recovery begins. It can also create raw disk snapshots and recover from a virtual drive image, which supports working from an image rather than directly from the original storage device. These tools make it a focused option for Windows partition repair and reconstruction.
Pricing is a $100 one-time purchase for the Starus Partition Recovery plan. A free evaluation version is available for scanning and previewing recoverable files, but it cannot save recovered files. Recovered data can be saved to another hard drive, CD/DVD, an ISO image, or FTP. The main trade-offs are its Windows-only scope and the absence of RAID or bootable recovery support. Choose it when partition-table, MBR, or file-system damage is central to the recovery task; choose an alternative when you need broader platform coverage, RAID recovery, or bootable recovery media.
