data recovery software

[Derek Buttery]

Morning,

Quite a while ago there was a 'thread' re: data recovery software. Does anyone still have this?, if not could anyone please recommend a program that may recover picture files (mostly iphoto) from a formatted H.D.?

googling throws up quite a smorgasbord of flavours!

this seems to be one of the better ones...

any thoughts, ideas / criticisms welcome.

{my imac g4 had a kernel error about 4 years ago, it went to see a genius in the bull ring, who formatted the hd for me and suggested I use an external drive to boot from. the internal drive has not been used since, even though I re-loaded the OS and other 'bits'. it's running 10.3.9}


p.s. many thanks Hannah, have shopped refurb in the apple site, and will be saving around $500 on a macair.

Hi Derek,

I have had great success with http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php in the past.
