Hard Drive recovery

Post by Jetboy » Sun Jul 31, 2005 5:16 pm

Fired up my PC this afternoon and noticed my storage drive was not showing up in explorer....shut down, checked the plugs, fired it back up and there it is back again....sweet I thought...but then noticed the name had changed so had a look at what was on the drive :eek: NOTHING

Hence I've been hunting round the net for some data recovery software but seems that most of it is "see what you can recover" then pay us large sums of money before the software will actually save anything

Anyone know of any software that works? (was a NTFS drive 120Gb, with a single partition)
