FLASH: <OT> Need Disk Recovery Utility

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

Anyone have a good hard disk recovery program to recommend? After years of 

good luck, I had a hard disk crash (PC) with lots of files that will be 

missed. Some of them are probably backed up (somewhere!) but I'm going to 

lose some unless I can restore the hard disk.


I am unable even to look at this disk in Windows, as the disk gets stuck in 

seek mode if I so much as open Explorer. It crashed when I tried to erase a 

file from within a program's import window. When things froze, I ran Scan 

Disk immediately, which found and "fixed" about a dozen problems with 

misreported file sizes and files occupying space that should have been 

reserved for system files. That was the last access I had to the disk. 

Currently I have the drive disconnected, which was the only way not to have 

my system hang.


All advice will be most welcome!


thanks,

Marc Hoffman
