Does anyone know of a good file recovery software?
My external HDD "failed," but reading online I found that it was likely a problem with the circuitry on the enclosure itself. Sure enough when I removed it and place it in a standalone enclosure it worked fine and no longer made the horrible noise when accessing it. Unfortunately I had to reformat it.
So I need software that will recover the formatted files, so I can transfer them to my computer and to my other external HDD. Googling brings up a lot of hits, but I'm not really sure which one to go with and a lot of seem less than reputable.

Anyone with direct experience with this should definitely chime in with other solutions... but as I said, Recuva's free and from a reputable company, so I think it should be alright to give it a try.
It was like 7 years ago though, so who knows how they are now.
