I've recently tested a lot of data recovery tools, and the best is R-Studio Corporate v3.0. I believe DigeratiPrime would also agree). Just to pain you a picture: I had Star Trek TNG seasons I downloaded, burnt, and deleted off my HD months and months ago. Since then I reformatted, full and about half a dozen quick formats. I also restored my drive with an Acronis image several times. Copied, extracted, deleted, defragmented dozens and hundreds of times, you name it. Even still, R-Studio recovered about 2 seasons of my downloaded TV show, as well as 820 MBs of other thngs. Other very good ones are: Runtime GetDataBack FinalData Enterprise v2.0 FormatRecovery
