Yes, Ultima Recovery does this routinely.
We don't like garbage. Ultima Recovery finds everything that can actually be recovered. Most likely X finds and displays non-recoverable files just to boost its recovery claims. The data of these "extra" files is already lost or has been rewritten and cannot be recovered.
The rule is: the sooner you start file recovery and the less you use the disk, the better the chances of successfully recovering your deleted files.
That's why we strongly recommend that you always have the recovery tool installed on your system.
In simple words, a file system does the translation between the file’s name and the location of its data. It's like a phonebook - if you know someone's name then you can find out his phone number. When you delete a file, Windows removes the link between file name and data, but the data remains on the disk and Ultima Recovery can find it and recover.
NOTE: The data in deleted files will be overwritten very soon. So the sooner you start file recovery, the better your chance of successfully recovering your files.
No, and we strongly recommend against you even trying! If your media is physically damaged (if you hear squeaks, for example) disconnect it from your computer immediately. Try local hard drive recovery services to get your data back from such devices.
