I had a hard disk that failed...and since my old computer was much too old, that became the perfect excuse for getting myself a new computer.
However, after the initial obsession with my new computer died down, I decided to get my old data back--only to remember that my old hard disk failed. So I went online for free data recovery solutions, but Restorer 2000 Demo and Active@ File Recovery Demo are the only ones that got past the numerous cyclic redundancy errors on the disk and are the only ones to find the files that I needed to recover. Since these are demo programs, they have very, very limited recovery functions. No other freeware or shareware out there that I tried can get past those errors.
So, I'm in pain looking at my old hard disk, knowing that the files are there yet unable to retrieve them without paying a lot of money. I need suggestions!
Thank you very much for your time!
