Anyone had any need for decent hard disk recovery software? I used one a while ago but only for restoring a partition record etc then the rest was golden, this has all sorts of corruption issues ongoing (to the point where windows now gives the "you expect me to read this?!" type message when I try to access the drive).

Dont THINK it's physical issue as the drive sounds good and had no issues prior to a system move.

There's only a few bits I need off the drive so any trial versions with a smallish max file size type limit would be good to know about (files I need are less than 1MB each).
 
I had a problem like this yesterday, i ran the western digital quick test and my hard drive failed the cable test, replaced the cable, ran chkdsk and the drive was fixed. So try the manufacturers diagnostic tool first i would, and see what it says.
