Hard Drive Data recovery Help…!?

Published by admin at 6:46 am under data recovery

My hard drive just decided to fail. the thing still works, but windows doesn't even recognize it anymore. A friend of mine worked on it for all of five seconds and discovered that the file system read RAW instead of the original NTFS I formatted it with. I've search the internet for data recovery software, however, the price tag doesn't make things any easier. I don't want to be cheap or anything, I'll pay the money…but I'm wondering is there a freeware or open source program out there that will do everything that the retail data recovery program can do?
For example: there's a program called GetDataBack that will restore my files…but is there a free program that will do all GetDataBack (or equivalent) can do?
I'm just curious..
Thanks :) If at all possible I would like to recover with the directory structure intact…

    I doubt that there is anything left if you overwrote it. srry

    Take a look at RIP Linux

    I've used it many times to recover information.

    What you will NOT get with any "free" software, as opposed to paying money for something is any "easy point and click" interfaces…

    Research this page for a program called Hiren's boot cd.

    It is essentialy a boot cd that has options for data recovery as well as many other things. Simply download and burn the boot cd and set your computer to boot off the cd. Follow the options and recover your data.
