I've had great success with an app called getdataback. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joanne Determann To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 7:04 AM 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
