I need data recovery software for cheap.

What's the best data recovery, undelete, partition recovery software have you used? Are there good free ones?
 
Easy Recovery Pro

When it comes to data loss, nothing is cheap. You get what you pay for. How important is your data?

Agreed! This is not where you want to get by for free.

 
Take a look at SystemRescueCd http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page - should be about the best from "Linux" tools.

Best Ive ever used is R-Studio http://www.data-recovery-software.net/ worked when others did not. If I had any need I would not mind paying for it. Buying such tools just because they might be useful is a bit expensive. Check licensing, 1 year subscription type. Targets are not necessarily private sector but business, IT people. Normal people would be better off digging into (free) backup software, prepare for disaster.
 
Hi,

I have used the one from the people that make Ccleaner. I think it is called RECUVA.

It worked for me.

Yes, Recuva is very nice but I think he wants stuff that can recover data on a non-existing filesystem or whatever disaster you can think of. I doubt it make any sense for a private user to pay so much for emergency tools. Recuva or similar should be enough - rest is about backup, backup and more backup 🙂 Can easily be done free as well.

The time I used R-Studio was when I overclocked a hd-controller, years ago before pci speed got fixed. So disk was empty, no content. Using R-Studio in "raw" mode got my data back. All other tools I tried could not handle that situaiton. Well, point is not R-Studio is great but that I was an idiot - first with the braindead overclocking, next with not having backup of any kind. Recuva is always handy but there should not be a need for "forensic" tools - unless you make 100$ per hour saving other peoples data of course 😉
 
I use GetDataBack. It can recover files from formatted drives as long as new data has not been saved in the physical location of the old files.
