Is RS Partition Recovery safe to run on a damaged drive?
Yes. The program works in read-only mode and you buy through the official checkout, so neither your disk nor your payment details are put at risk.
Read-only by design
Scans never write to the source disk, so the recovery process can’t overwrite the very files you’re trying to save.
Try before you pay
The free trial scans your drive and previews recoverable files with no credit card needed.
Genuine license key
You install the official build and activate it with a real key, not a cracked copy or a grey-market reseller key.
Protected checkout and a refund window
Payment is secured with SSL encryption, and every edition carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.

RS Partition Recovery Review & Features
What sets RS Partition Recovery apart is how far past the basics it goes. Plenty of home tools can undelete a photo, but far fewer will open a BitLocker or VeraCrypt volume, read a forensic E01 image, or scan a NAS over SSH without pulling its disks. For an ordinary user, though, the features that matter most are the quiet ones. The SMART health check tells you whether a drive is fit to scan at all, and disk imaging lets you recover from a copy so a failing disk isn’t worn down by repeated passes.
That’s the routine a professional would follow, packaged so you don’t have to improvise it. The catch is where the advanced tools live. Encrypted drives, forensic images and virtual machine disks all start at the Home + Virtual Machine edition, so the $97.95 Home license is really for ordinary, unencrypted drives. And no software beats physics: on an SSD where TRIM has already cleared the deleted blocks, there may simply be nothing left to find.
Key features
- Partition rebuilding: reconstructs deleted MBR and GPT partition tables, so a whole volume can come back with its folder tree and file names intact instead of file by file.
- Signature-based deep scan with preview: a sector-by-sector pass identifies 500+ file types even when names and the file system are gone, and you can preview documents, photos and videos before saving anything.
- Drive health and disk imaging: shows the full SMART table, live temperature and a Good / Caution / Bad status, then lets you create a sector-by-sector image to work from.
- Encrypted volumes and forensic images (Home + Virtual Machine and Business): BitLocker (password, recovery key or BEK file), LUKS1/LUKS2, VeraCrypt, FileVault/APFS and NTFS EFS, plus E01, AFF and AFF4 forensic images.
- Remote and virtual disks: connects over SSH to a NAS, server or VMware ESXi host, and in the Home + Virtual Machine and Business editions reads VMDK, VHD/VHDX, VDI, QCOW2 and VMFS 5/6, including broken snapshot chains.

More RS Partition Recovery Screenshots
Which RS Partition Recovery edition fits you?
| Edition | PCs / servers | Encrypted files & drives | Forensic drive images | Virtual machine disks | Recovery services for others | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 1 | No | No | No | No | One computer with ordinary, unencrypted drives |
| Home + Virtual Machine | 1 | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | BitLocker/VeraCrypt users, home labs, VM users |
| Business | Unlimited | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Technicians, IT departments, repair shops |
The $140 step from Home to Home + Virtual Machine buys three things at once: encrypted drive access, forensic image support and virtual machine disks. If the drive you’re recovering is BitLocker-encrypted (device encryption is switched on by default on many Windows 11 laptops), plan on the higher edition. For a plain, unencrypted disk, Home covers it.
Is there a cheaper (or free) option than RS Partition Recovery?
| Tool | Starting price | Where it stands out | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| RS Partition Recovery | $97.95 (Home) | Deep scan on Windows, macOS and Linux; encrypted, VM and forensic support from $237.95 | Tough recoveries, IT users |
| Hetman Partition Recovery | $48.97/life | Similar scope and a near-identical edition ladder | Buyers comparing like for like |
| Magic Partition Recovery | $48.97(Home)/life | Automated recovery that also repairs damaged file systems | Windows users with corrupted NTFS/FAT drives |
| EaseUS Partition Recovery | $49.97/life | Polished, beginner-friendly interface | Simple recoveries where ease matters most |
| 4DDiG Partition Manager | $41.96/life | Partition management first; recovery only on 1-Year/Lifetime plans | People who also need cloning and resizing |
| TestDisk & PhotoRec | Free (open source) | Rebuilds partition tables and carves files at no cost | Technical users comfortable with a command line |
If you only need to restore a deleted partition table and don’t mind a text interface, TestDisk is genuinely capable and free. RS Partition Recovery earns its price when you want a graphical workflow and file preview, and the higher edition pays off once encrypted or virtual disks are involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try RS Partition Recovery before buying?
Yes. The free trial lets you scan your drive and preview recoverable files without a credit card. Buy only once you’ve seen your files in the preview.
Which edition do I need for VMware or Hyper-V disks?
Home + Virtual Machine or Business. Both read VMDK, VHD/VHDX, VDI, QCOW2 and VMFS 5/6 datastores; the $97.95 Home edition doesn’t include virtual machine support.
Windows says my drive “is not formatted.” Can it still recover the files?
Yes. RS Partition Recovery reads RAW and corrupted disks without formatting them first. Don’t click “Format” in that Windows prompt, since writing a new file system can make recovery harder.
Will it recover deleted files from an SSD?
Sometimes, but expect less than on a hard drive. Most SSDs run TRIM, which wipes deleted blocks shortly after deletion, and once that happens no recovery tool can bring the data back. Formatted or lost partitions on SSDs often fare better than plain deletions, so stop using the drive and scan as soon as possible.
Can it open a BitLocker-encrypted drive?
Yes, in the Home + Virtual Machine and Business editions, as long as you have the password, recovery key or BEK file. The Home edition doesn’t include encrypted drive support, and no edition breaks encryption without one of those credentials.
Does RS Partition Recovery run on a Mac or Linux?
Yes. It runs on macOS 10.12 Sierra through 15 Sequoia and on Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS), as well as Windows 7 to 11 and Windows Server 2003–2022.
