IsoBuster is a highly reliable data recovery application designed to rescue and restore damaged data from various types of devices, from CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray to hard drives and removable storages.
Originally designed to process and recover files from optical media, IsoBuster extended its capabilities as of version 3.0. As such, it now supports communication with Flash devices, media cards, floppy, Jaz / Zip disks and local hard drives.
IsoBuster features a streamlined, simple user interface that adopts an Explorer-like view, which makes is possible to view the recoverable data more clearly. Your efforts are reduced to selecting the device to be scanned, after which the application displays the files that can be restored and repaired.
IsoBuster can handle any type of CD / DVD / Blu-Ray you can think of, including High Definition discs. It is able to access deleted files from multisession optical media, as well as process data from various virtual image types (NRG, BIN and ISO included).
IsoBuster relies on a complex and highly effective extraction engine and works completely independent from Windows. It interprets data in a way that improves error handling and makes the devices readable. In addition, the application uses several retry mechanisms in order to fully recover lost or deleted files. 
Other features include built-in UDF and HSF readers, possibilities to restore data from quick formatted or blanked DVD+RW discs, command line support, abilities to work with Direct CD compressed files, to name just a few.
In addition, you can use it to recover items from optical media processed with integrated drag and drop software such as Roxio, Nero, Pinnacle and Sony.
To conclude, IsoBuster is an awesome companion that can recover data from virtually any optical device, removable media and local hard drives. Its simplicity, speed and success rate are the characteristics that make it an irresistible choice.

What's New in This Release:
Changes:
· On Windows VISTA and higher, if you do not run in admin mode by default (UAC not disabled) you get the UAC (User Account Control) popup each time when you start IsoBuster. This is because admin rights are required to talk to Hard Drives and USB/Flash drives etc. However, in this version, if you disable listing Hard Drives and Flash drives in Options or during install, then you don't get the UAC anymore.

· Support for GPT (GUID) Partition formatting
· Also list empty card readers etc. when detected. Insert a card, hit refresh, and IsoBuster will show the content, like it does on optical media
