In Data recovery either you can recover data or you can recover partition on hard disk, though it takes a bit of time. Also the some softwares allow to recover data by file type. recover by partition, recovery by local drive. Also it offers surface scan or detail scan option for file recovery depending on condition of file. Files may got currupt due to over writing.
Some of free software for recovery are Pc Inspector file recover, Easy recovery. etc. Its available on google search to find it for free.

This acctually happened to me 2 days ago. i deleted one of my windows accounts and from some reason it didn't keep my files like i told it to. so i was really upset. but i found a program that acctually works. it is "recover my files" this program really works. i know there are some free ones but they are not that great. try it out if you like it buy it. i Did and i was satisfied. i you do happen to find a free on let me know, i will be upset that i had to buy one, but it would help me in advision others about it. thanx
Unfortunately, I don't know of any good free ones, but if you can find a local shop running OnTrack, it's pretty reliable if they know what they're doing.
Take it to any reputable shop and they'll do it. It's not the most cheap thing in the world, because it's not always easy to recover data from a crashed drive. There aren't too many freeware utilities out there to do this because there isn't a huge demand for it.
Hi,
You can recover your data using Easy Recovery Pro 5.11. It works nice, but the success rate is dependent on the type of format you performed on your hard drive. If you quick formatted your hard drive, then you can (I hope) all data of it, but I guarantee you one thing that if you perform a standard format, you will never get your data back with any software I guess.
By the way, you can find the Easy Recovery Pro in the following link -

I can say tha also after a standard format it is possible to recover data. Only after a low level format or after using some security selete tools (that perform several writes and deletes to the cluster that first contained data) it will be very difficult to recover data.

If its HDD has crashed, I don't know if just some software will work.
Is the disk reading at all ?
I used "Recover my files" software to recover files from a camcoder memory card which was formatted.
But crashed HDD, I don't thnk it will work. Let us know in this thread if it does ...
If the hard drive has suffered a physical crash then it is not possible to recover data through software. You have to consult data recovery service company and it is costly affair. Data recovery service company will analyze your hard drive free of cost and will send the report. The report clearly state that what data can be recovered. IF you are satisfied with the result then your service will be done.
Try to see if you can recover it using GetDataBack.

"Recover your files when the data is no longer accessible due to formatting, fdisk, virus attack, power or software failure. Get everything back even when the drive's partition table, boot record, Master File Table or root directory is lost or corrupt."
"When performing a data recovery with GetDataBack we recommend that you proceed as follows:
# Install GetDataBack on a healthy Windows machine without the drive attached you want to recover from. Make sure you have sufficient space on the "good drive" for storing the recovered data. You also can store the recovered data to a LAN if have access to one. The machine you are running GetDataBack on can have any of the following operating systems: Windows95/98/ME, Windows NT, W2K, Windows XP.
# Shut down the computer and attach the drive you want to recover from ("bad drive") as a 2nd drive. You might need to jumper it differently. Make sure it is recognized correctly by the BIOS when starting up the computer.
# Start GetDataBack and verify that HD128: is the "good drive" and HD129: is the "bad drive". Perform Steps 1 to 3 of the recovery process for the "bad drive" HD129:. Please follow the instructions provided with each particular step.
# When Step 3 has completed and you are ready to copy the recovered files over to the "good drive", you need to purchase a license code if you have not already done so. Do not quit GetDataBack for purchasing or entering the license code, just enter the code and continue with copying the files. It is a good idea to start with the files you need most.
# After copying all desired files shut down the computer and remove the "bad drive". Store the "bad drive"in a safe place.
It is recommended to build a brand new system now. Use components other than the "bad drive". Install the operating system. Install the programs from their installation CD-ROMs. Finally import the recovered data to the new drive.
Verify you got back all the data you need. Do not recycle the "bad drive" before you are absolutely sure about this. It is a good idea to wait 4 weeks before re-using the "bad drive". If the "bad drive" had any mechanical problems you definitely must not use it again.
If you notice any mechanical problems with the drive, such as bad sectors or unusual noise, you should stop the recovery and make a drive image first. When successfully created, you can recover from this drive image as you would recover from the original drive. A mechanically damaged drive can fail entirely every second. It must be your primary goal to pull all raw data off such a drive as fast as possible. Making an image also reduces the load on the drive because each sector is read only once. Professional data recovery companies always make an image of the drive before trying to retrieve any files.
If your drive has a physical problem and you're unable to obtain a usable drive image, we recommend that you contact a data recovery lab for data recovery service.
If you divert from the process described above, always make sure you:
# never install GetDataBack on the "bad drive"
# never use the "bad drive" as the boot-up system drive (CSmile
# do not have temporary files and folders use the "bad drive"
# never copy the recovered files to the "bad drive"
# make an image first if the "bad drive" has mechanical problems"

There are several programs such as Ontrack Easy Recovery, Winternals Disk Commander, Active Partition Recovery and Active Uneraser that will boot your system straight into DOS, then perform file recovery.
