Undelete/File recovery aplication. Which one?

I hope i never need it (doing images of my partitions), but you never know. There are several 'good' recoverey/undelete applications out there. I hear a lot of good things about R-Studio. Important seams to be the efficency of those tools. Suggestions and experiences with this or other related soft (independet of costs) ?

 

like File Scavenger and DiskPatch

first recover then try to repair
they complement each other

 

Nobody using this kind of software?

 

nope
PC Inspector File Recovery

 

I use Octane & Nucleus Kernel for FAT and NTFS.

 

hi, i think a linux livecd with TestDisk and PhotoRec should be able to recover lots of stuff. they've been mentioned a few times recently on some linux news sites. i think Knoppix has them both

i used testdisk here - https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=96021
but, i haven't used the other program. they both work with lots of filesystems though including ntfs
