1st, let me say I have absolutely no ties to this company whatsoever or ANY financial interest. If you search my post posts from last week, you will see I had a Raid 5 server crash and I lost all the data. I did a google search for disk recovery and came up with this site:

Software

I was able to use this to completely recover everything I need from a damaged raid 5 array.

Altho this is not a traditional hot deal, it is a VERY hot Deal compared to bringing in a pro for several Thousand$$$$ to recover your lost files. They offer a free demo version which will allow you to see what is recoverable (allows you to recover up to 64kb files), but when you purchase the retail version, you will be able to recover everything (even from the imageyou made from the demo).

I am sure anyone who has needed to recover priceless lost data from any type of crash would consider this a hot deal!

Once again, let me state, I have no ties to this company whatsoever and never heard of them before Friday, but I highly recommend this hot deal!!!!!
 
This is an awesome product. (if it works on all cases). I wish I knew about it a month ago when I needed something like this.
 
or you could use FixIt software which works very well in recovering hard drive failures for much less.
 
Almost all of the recovery software works fine IF the disk is good. My brother had a huge crash once in his laptop, no backup of files. After the crash, he started the computer again, no boot. After all the diagnosis, we found the disk was damaged. I tried to recover the information using almost every recover software you find in google (trials only). All of them could make a nice recovery UNTIL they found bad sectors. NONE, I repeat NONE was able to build a good partial image with the good sectors. ALL of them choked with the bad sectors.

If you used a PC in the old DOS days, PCTools was able to recover sector by sector and make it a file.... what happened to that??? The newer utility software is like 100 times bigger in size, but I don't find 100 better than before (Norton disk doctor the best example)

Sorry for the rant.
 
Strange that you had a raid5 server and still lost your data. I guess it wasn't a HD crash.

Yeah, I've got to agree that Norton Disk Doctor sure isn't too great when it comes to bad sectors, either on removable media or HDD. It totally chokes and gives up; it even crashes the computer once in awhile...blegh, I've been trying to find something better.

And I believe that Tiramisu is now Ontrack's EasyRecovery (correct me if I'm wrong). You can find the info at http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecovery/.
 
To recover individual files from a "bad" NTFS partition, QueTek's File Scavenger 2.0 at $39.95 was the most economical solution I could find. This tool recovers individual files -- not complete directory structures. Search by file name or type for a list of recoverable files.

While I would have preferred to recover the entire partition, I used other tryout software and determined that wasn't possible. The tryout software at least could provide me with the directory structures and hint at what files I should be looking for. Well worth my $40.
 
This allows you to create a virtual Raid array if your raid crashes. It also allows you to view the drive in hex. It is faaaar more advanced then any other of the recovery software I have seen or used. Can also be used thru a network to recover networked machines. If anyone needs this type of software, you should really look into it's capabilities.
