How to initiate a support request

You can use our Support Forum (preferred) or send your support request to
DIY DataRecovery support. The following rules apply:

  • We do not send attachments to free email accounts! If for any reason we need to send zipped executables, you must provide us with an email address capable of receiving zipped attachments larger than 1 Mb.
  • Include a thorough description of the actions that led to the problem. If you can, describe briefly what you think caused the problem.
  • Include a description of the running OS (Windows 9x / ME / NT / 2000 / XP or OS/2 or whatever), including version information, Service Pack levels and the file-system (FAT, NTFS, etc.) in use.
  • When you are dealing with MBR, partition table and boot sector related issues, please create a DiskPatch SUPPORT ANALYSIS LOGFILE. Typical symptoms of such issues are entire drives and partitions that can't be accessed. If you have already performed repairs, include the DiskPatch log file(s) in the support request.
  • Include relevant information such as descriptions of symptoms and actual (error) messages that are displayed when trying to access the data, file system etc. If you have lost partitions, describe the partitions as they were before the problems occurred.
  • When relevant, include hardware information (internal/external controller, array information etc.) if you think it has any bearing on the problem at hand.

If your support request concerns DiskPatch:
If you have already performed a repair but need additional assistance, please include the contents of the most relevant log file. In general this will be the most recent log file (DP.LOG), but it may also be an older log file if you have restarted DiskPatch.
Please do not include irrelevant information or files (such as the state files or old log files) unless we specifically ask for them.
Download DiskPatch here.

 
If you didn't receive your registration information...
Usually the registration email(s) are sent within minutes after purchase, but there are situations were the registration email does not reach the customer. Delays can be caused by the commerce provider (Regnow in our case) when they decide that a purchase needs to be analyzed further. For instance, when a free email address (Hotmail, Yahoo mail etc.) is used for the registration, there is a chance that the purchase verification will take a bit longer. Please understand that this is beyond our control; contact Regnow if you have questions about this.

Another well known cause for emails not reaching the customer is spam filters. In ALL cases were we received emails asking us why the registration emails are not sent after the purchase verification had completed, the problem could be traced back to spam filters: the mail was sent but rejected on the side of the customer.

Finally (and this should be obvious but if you count the number of problems we have seen with this it apparently is not): make sure you type your email address correctly.

Please note: recently there have been some problems with emails that are sent from our domain region to AOL addresses. AOL rejects mail that is sent from our domain for unknown reasons. So if you use AOL we can not reach you; use a different email address. We are working on getting this fixed.

 
Order status lookup, purchase order information etc.
To re-issue a serial number we require a proof of purchase. The order number (not the serial number or license key) is accepted as a proof of purchase.

STEP 1: Online order number lookup:

If you purchased through the DIY DataRecovery website online shop or a DIY DataRecovery affiliate (a 3rd party shareware site like Download.com) you can lookup the order details yourself, click here.

If you have purchased via RegNet you can lookup your order status here.

If you have purchased via Mensys, log in on their main page and you can look up any orders you have placed.

STEP 2: Submit your request for resending a lost serial number to DIY DataRecovery support.
Make sure to include the order number!

IMPORTANT

If you selected the RegNow Registration Backup Service during your purchase visit RegNow (www.regnow.com) and click the Shopper Support link.

The Registration Backup Service is offered by RegNow during the purchase of software products which require the use of a registration code or key for full access or use. With this service, RegNow retains a backup copy of your registration code, for a period of one year, should you need it again in the event of loss, a computer crash, virus, etc.

 
Our refund policy
If the product you purchased has not been able to help you, or if you are otherwise dissatisfied with it's performance, you can request a refund.

There are however a number of conditions:

Before requesting a refund you must first contact support and allow us to address the problem.

We've seen it all, and if you run into problems with your purchase there's a good chance we will be able to assist you. And if we can't help, we at least need to know why before we can authorize the refund. Make sure you describe your situation clearly; just saying "the program doesn't work" is no ground for a refund. Tell us what happened, what didn't happen, or what you expected to happen. 

Please stay polite.

We understand your frustration if things do not go the way you want them to go but starting a shouting match will not solve the problem. Remember, our main goal is to give you access to your data again, not to create all sorts of problems: we all want the same thing. So when requesting a refund, please do so politely, it will greatly improve your chances of success.

License and usage of the purchased program expire when accepting the refund.

Once you have accepted the refund you are no longer allowed to use the program, with the exception of trial modes and freeware modes/applications. You are expected to delete your license details and remove the program from your system and software library.

Please avoid using charge-backs or credit card billing dispute actions.

That is not the way to handle the matter. Always contact us first, not the credit card payment provider. We are the ones that handle the refunds and we are the ones that should decide on the legality of your refund claim.

Other generic conditions are:
  • All bundle- and discount sales (sales that include multiple programs for a reduced price) are excluded from the refund policy: no refunds will be given for any product that was purchased as part of a (discount) bundle.
  • You must request the refund within 10 days after the purchase date.
  • You will be refunded in the currency that was used for the payment.
  • Refunds may take a few days to show up on your credit card statement or other payment related statement, please be patient.
  • We require the order number to perform the refund. Make sure we have the correct information when requesting the refund.

Remember: all our products are available as trial versions; make sure to try before you buy.

Regardless of the outcome, we appreciate your business and respectfully thank you for choosing and using our products.

Version numbering:

To identify versions of our software we use the VRM numbering method. This means that the number consists of a Version number, a Release number and a Modification number.

  • The Version number (v.r.m) changes when major functional changes to the program are introduced.
  • The Release number (v.r.m.) changes when minor functional changes and/or major corrective changes to the program are introduced.
  • The Modification number (v.r.m) changes when minor and/or major corrective changes to the program are introduced.
