I've consistently used photorec a number of times to find files that were on
drives that were corrupted, formatted, or the files were deleted. I've used
some of the free windows utils like Recuva and others, they seem to work OK too.
I've also worked with OnTrack.com for HDD recovery at my work, though that's
usually in the thousands of dollars.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] HDD(corrupted) data recovery help?
So I just started having bad sectors in my WD external 1TB hdd and so I used an
excelent software by dmitry HDD Regenerator. It actually fixed all of the bad
sectors.I could read all the data but couldn't write to the hdd. SO I did an
advance RMA(They send you a new one before you send the old one back). Few days
later my new HDD arrived from WD but when I tried backing up all my data was
gone.. *poof* the hdd was completely corrupted. All my windows computer detect
it but does not populate it. I tried same (HDD Regenerator) software and its
shows 0mb in 0sectors available and doesn't work.
Do you have any forensics software which I could try to recover my data before
sending it back?
Also I dont have any PII in it, but lot of personal collections which I would
love to recover. I don't to spend $$$ to send it to professional recovery
people.
Thanks,
-W.Gibson.
