Harddrive Data Recovery Software?

[luke]

Anyone know about or have used any harddrive data recovery software? I'm looking around but just don't know too much about them and what works and what doesn't.

http://www.r-tt.com/RStudio.shtml I found this one.

Any feedback is appreciated.

just looked at that site, i would never try that software. but i do my own thing.

Q. Do you have a crashed harddrive or just deleted something?


if my harddrive crashes, i would use my unix box to recover if any lost data, "# mount -t" but if i just deleted something that was really big and i had no other way of bringing it back, i would rerun ghost and or just load the re-writeable cd into the rom and load my last saved...

It was a 200GB Lacie Firwire drive that crashed and is now saying its not formatted but we had a few hours worth of video captured and edited on it.

With U&I connectivity, the LaCie DVD-RAM drive can be used with USB and FireWire-equipped computers such as the new iMacs, iBooks, PowerBooks, Power Mac G4s and Power Mac G4 Cubes
