The EasyRE software boots up well and seems to contain all the features it claims to. Creating a bootable USB was a little more difficult but using the instructions contained in the email I received with my purchase I was able to create the bootable USB using EasyBCD which I was able to obtain for free for personal use only. I decided to create a USB because it may run faster on the machine (it didn't). Burning it to a CD was very easy and painless. I am unsure what will happen when new versions are released but it seems the single download of the current version is all you get. I am going to take it into the repair shop to see if they can recover my files.Īs far my experience with EasyRE the purchase and download process was very pleasant. I think the laptop hard drive is just physically broken at this point. It freezes on the black Starting Windows screen. While the drive is hooked up, I selected my working hard drive to boot from. I was starting to think the EasyRE software must not be very good so I tried hooking the drive up to my desktop PC. I tried the partition editor, where only the bootable USB drive showed up, the hard drive wasn't shown at all.
