Data recovery software

[mchacal]

So one of my external hard drives is fucked and my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. The problem was due to a power failure.

Any of you guys know of a good data recovery software I could use for this?

I have used Active@ software before with successful results.

Is this the software? http://www.file-recovery.net/

Also this good for external hard drives?? I see nothing in the website about external hard drives.

I found a software with great reviews called "Digital Rescue Premium" any of you guys ever used this one?

I have used "Get Data Back" to successfully pull data from multiple failed drives.

I downloaded "Get Data Back" and "Digital Rescue Premium" and neither of those was able to recognize the external hard drive just like my computer. Any help with this??

GetDataBack

Yea I got it thanks. It found the external hard drive finally and it's scanning since yesterday night but all I see are thousands of "Error 19" at 24% of the scan and "0" files identified.

I tried at first with "GetDataBack for NTFS" as my laptop is running on XP but didn't work and I got a message telling me to try with "GetDataBack for FAT" maybe because I'm working on an external drive???

Anyways lets see if this one gives me any results
