TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software. It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting your Partition Table).

I just upgraded it the other day and got some pictures off a friend's SD card from her camera. Works amazingly well and should be in any IT guy's arsenal of tools.

Had my 500G NTFS over written by Linux Ext3 250G partition by accident when it was plugged into the eSATA port of a Linux system. The entire data was lost. I use Testdisk to do a detailed search and the entire 500G data was recovered completely. It worked very well. A big thank you to the developer.
Reviewing 6.9 (Feb 14, 2008)
This program isn't very user friendly, but it's free and free is extremely rare in the data recovery world. That being said if you have a basic understanding of file systems, partitions, and drives you should be able to find your way around. I would give it a 5, but it doesn't yet support XLS and DOC natively.
