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

I haven't used R-Undelete before, but R-Studio from the same company has
save my users butts before.
 
I was even able to hook up all the drives of a failed RAID to my
recovery system's SCSI card and recover data.  
 
So far for me, if the BIOS can see the drive, then R-Studio can recover
some data.

HI

I agree, Spinrite is very good. I have also had very good luck with 
tools from www.r-undelete.com where the problem may be more file system

related.

Good Luck
