Do you know a good freeware (or low cost) data recovery program?
I have an external disk drive (Maxtor One Touch II 300GB) connected via USB that has recently lost its data.
Windows Vista has given it a new drive letter, and doesn’t see that the drive is formatted. Norton Disk Doctor doesn’t read the drive, either. (This occured after installing Iomega Tools on my PC (under XP Pro on a dual boot) so that I could get data off of an old 100MB Zip disk — I suspect the Iomega software somehow corrupted the external drive — though I can’t be sure.)
I suspect that data is still on the drive, but I don’t want to spend as much on software as I would on a new drive.
Any suggestions or ideas?
