My rock-hard drive crashed. How can I recover unsaved files lacking using an expensive information recovery service?
This is a 120 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 hard drive from a desktop computer.
Answers:
If you didn't squirrel away the file to the not easy drive it's gone. Anything you were working on would be kept surrounded by the computer's ram. But once the computer is turned stale, ram is erased. Try this free software.

Hello,
If you didn't reclaim the files then they're gone. If you be using MS Word the bckup files created automatically by Word, have the filename extension WBK.
Boot from the Windows compact disc. Go into recovery console and copy what you need to a 3.5" floppy or fly drive.

When you say, "unsaved files," do you be going to that they weren't saved to the HD, or only just that they weren't saved to a backup copy? Because if it's the former, after they \are\ gone, and this is a good opportunity to cram to backup on a regular basis. (Yeah ... it's never worked for me, any. 8-D) But if it's the latter, there's software available for you to go hunting for the background yourself, and it's available at a surprisingly reasonable price.
First, are you using a Mac or a Windows box? I can set aside you firsthand experience with the former, but simply research with the latter.
For my Macs, Prosoft's Data Rescue have NEVER let me down. I in reality just used it yesterday for the first time within a few months -- and it didn't take long, since it's designed to be \very\ intuitive.

I've be using it for about five years presently, in both the DR Classic and DR II incarnations, and the one disappointment I've have was beside a single folder of files that I was trying to rescue stale a partition that some ungodly Norton information recovery app had hosed completely -- in recent times wiped verbs. (I sent them a firmly-worded but polite letter pointing out the irony of this situation, solely to recieve \the single rudest\ reply I've ever recieved from a CSR -- I mean, that woman be just plain \hostile\. They subsequently get moved from my "On Notice" board to my "Dead to Me" board.) Aside from that one folder (which was anguishing at the time, but ultimately not a big concord -- I just lost some ultimately irrelevant e'mail that I hadn't back up), DR has come rear legs with everything I've sent it out to fetch. I worked on my HD later summer for a week trying to recover data that have been hosed by VileFault -- I be going to, FileVault ("Dead to Me"). It had be a couple of years since I'd done a full restore of the drive, and it managed to recover e'mail and photos from adjectives the way rear legs in 2003 that I have long ago deleted -- stuff I'd forgot almost completely, since I no longer even know the senders. It's VERY good.
What I really close to about DR II, aside from the intuitive interface, is the reality that it requires you to recover the lost files to another drive. In other words, if you're trying to recover Drive X, it requires you to recover the files to Drive Y, the thinking being that if Drive Y is fine, but Drive X is corrupt, after you SHOULDN'T recover to it. Also helpful is the reality that you can try before you buy -- it let you scan your drive and recover one file near the demo version. This approach, you can at least find out if your facts even \is\ recoverable without making the investment ($99), solitary to find out that it's gone to that great bit bucket in the sky.
Now, as for That \Other\ OS. ;-} As I said, I can't speak for this firsthand, but Prosoft immediately has RecoverSoft Data Rescue PC Version 2 (they have DR only for Macs when I started using them).

From the connection above, it appears to be the exact same kind of app -- you can preview the files previously restoring them, and you restore them to an external drive. It recovers Microsoft Windows file systems including Windows Vista, 2003, XP, NT, 2000, ME, 98, 95, 3.x and DOS, and costs $129, though a trial journal is also available.
(I can also tell you that if you resolve to use either of these, Prosoft's CSRs are hurried and friendly -- they've made it to my "Fantasies" board. 8-D)
Best of luck!
