I am currently running Mac OS 9 and 10.4 on a Beige G3 PowerMac, and
recently the biggest, non-booting partition which contained alot of
softwares and data (from which I didn't make backup...:-/) just died
down after some forced shutdowns. I've tried 3 different tools of disk
recovery, but I've got no results, as can be seen on the gallery:

Well, the big quetion is: qaht can I do now to rescue this partition?
Is there any free alternative or just DiskWarrior can help?
How much is your data worth? If it's worth nothing, just cut your
losses. If it's worth the cost of DiskWarrior, get it. DiskWarrior
is an excellent repair utility, but recovery is safer than repair --
there's no good reason not to reinitialize the partition and restore
from backup.
This is assuming that your drive isn't dying -- if that's the case,
back up your valuables NOW, and don't trust the drive again.
Finally, if your files are worth paying thousands of dollars to
recover, I recommend DriveSavers.
