Data recovery Software?

Hi, got a Maxtor which windows has "deleted" all the files off as they were corrupted (i think) which i guess means is like a quick format (ie beggining and end saying data between these points is deleted?)
Was wondering if there is any free software to un-delete the data?

Don't know if that makes total sense...

What can i do?

Thanks

Please could someone give me some starting point?

Going to have to format and test this thing before i RMA it but would like to get some of the data off it if i can.

Thanks, thats exactly the kind of thing i was looking for. Going to try the demo and may buy it if it is able to find the data

What other things similar are there?

Thanks very much

Going to give them both a go on the drive and hoefully will be able to see if i can get something off, then i'll decide if its worth me getting one of them.

thanks very much for the help, will let you know how i get on.
