I've consistently used photorec a number of times to find files that were on drives that were corrupted, formatted, or the files were deleted. I've used some of the free windows utils like Recuva and others, they seem to work OK too. I've also worked with OnTrack.com for HDD recovery at my work, though that's usually in the thousands of dollars.

So I just started having bad sectors in my WD external 1TB hdd and so I used an excelent software by dmitry HDD Regenerator. It actually fixed all of the bad sectors.I could read all the data but couldn't write to the hdd. SO I did an advance RMA(They send you a new one before you send the old one back). Few days later my new HDD arrived from WD but when I tried backing up all my data was gone.. *poof* the hdd was completely corrupted. All my windows computer detect it but does not populate it. I tried same (HDD Regenerator) software and its shows 0mb in 0sectors available and doesn't work. Do you have any forensics software which I could try to recover my data before sending it back? Also I dont have any PII in it, but lot of personal collections which I would love to recover. I don't to spend $$$ to send it to professional recovery people. Thanks, -W.Gibson. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
