PC Tools File Recover is easy to use, and it works. It recovered all of the deleted files we threw at it by bulk search, or by specific file name/file type.

File Recover also easily recognized a USB-attached hard drive from a RAID 0/1 array that had been overwritten with two Mac OS partitions--and it found a number of files there. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the files were false positives that restored as zero length entries. To be fair, no program that I'm aware of would do any better, though some will bypass false positives.

There's a button to select all and a button to deselect all, as well as selection by folder and type, however beyond that you're stuck selecting or deselecting files one at a time. PC Tools File Recover is a good tool for recovering files. As is typical for this sort of program, the demo will find files but not restore them.
