[THIN] Re: OT: PC hard disk recovery tools

Hi Joanne,
 
It'd be hard to go past Steve Gibson's SpinRite 6.0 for pure brute 
sophistication. 
 
It'll have a good go at recovering data from just about anything.

Subject: [THIN] OT: PC hard disk recovery tools



We've been experiencing a lot of disk failure lately on the desktop scene. Do 
you guys have any favorite third party disk management tools or utilities for 
desktops that have saved your butt?

 

I feel we shouldn't have to recover data, because users should be saving to the 
network. And why try to save a power surged dirty messed up disk? But hey, the 
boss is a spending mood and the level 1 techs may benefit. 

 

 

 I use chkdsk to repair or if that doesn't work can I usually get data off the 
bad drive by plunking in a boot drive. I've used File Scavenger with great 
results. But that's about it. I don't believe in magic, or putting the disk in 
the freezer etc...

 

Thanks,Joanne
