Hi Mate,
The software i tend to use to recover documents etc is NTFSGetDataBack.
Works a treat - depending on the condo of the drive.
Here is a link to download it (comes with serial number)
GetDataBack will recover your data if the hard drive’s partition table, boot record, FAT/MTF or root directory are lost or damaged, data was lost due to a virus attack, the drive was formatted, fdisk has been run, a power failure has caused a system crash, files were lost due to a software failure, files were accidentally deleted.
GetDataBack for NTFS can recover your data even if the drive is no longer recognized by Windows.
GetDataBack can likewise be used even if all directory information - not just the root directory- is missing.
Advanced algorithms will make sure that all directories and sub directories are put together as they were, and that long file names are reconstructed correctly.
GetDataBack is read-only, meaning the program will never attempt to write to the drive you are about to recover. Please make sure to read the safety instructions.
GetDataBack enables the regular user to conduct his own data recovery by guiding him through five easy to understand steps, thus gives the advanced user the possibility to interfere with the recovery and improve the results, by examining the scan log, the file system details, file and directory information, by selecting the sector range to be scanned, by choosing excessive search for file systems or search for lost files, by calling Runtime’s DiskExplorer.
GetDataBack can even recover your data when the drive is no longer recognized by Windows.
