Data recovery HDD + external media

ColdAsIce · 14 May 2012 at 15:23

Does anyone know of any good freeware product for performing data recovery?

I have used xxcopy with mixed results. Also downloaded a trial of mini tool power recovery. Which I have to admit works perfect. Brings all the files back from corrupt HDDs but there is only a 1GB limit on the trial software.

Are there any freeware solutions before I think about purchasing a copy of mini tool for work?
