Best disaster recovery software? 2

[WhiteTornado]

Hi,
I have a HDD which is detected Western Digital 40Gb but unreadable, the fat table seems corrupted, there is a large amount of photos on the drive. There is a multitude of recovery softwares out there, but I think if I mess too much t\with this drive, I might screw things up and loose my chances - so I cannot venture in trying various programs... I would like some advice if anyone has done this successfully with a particular type of program. Granted there are many situations causing this, all I know is that the fat table is corrupted.

cheers!

We use a product called GetDataBack (For FAT and NTFS) from

http://www.runtime.org

We have successfully recovered many drives with this software. They have a downloadable version that will work in every way except to copy the recovered data to a good volume. There are others out there but we have had a good experience with this Software and would definitely recommend it.

I also use GetDataBack as well.

Thanks, this is helpful, I got an other response from an other area saying they were also favoring that software - makes me feel more secure in tackling the drive with that program.

cheers!
