Data recovery software
 

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?

runtime.org is all you need.

:2 cents:

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??

power data recovery 4.1 pro worked for my screwed up hd

testdisk....hands down testdisk

is the disk even getting power?

Yes and is turning when I plug it to the computer but after few moments it stops and the light starts blinking

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
