Forget those other 'recovery' programs, this one works perfect. I literally gave the run down on everything I could find and then heard about this on OSXHints. Where has this company been and how come no one talks about it??? Very easy to use, easy to install, great documentation with pictures (you don't even need the docs). Cost is a little more, but it got back my files. Finally, I can do my taxes. (uh, thanks) I lost all my expense notes by accident. You can create these cool signatures to scan deleted files by using files of similar types. Nothing else out there does this. For the heck of it, I dug out a drive that died 4 years ago I've had sitting in my closet and it recovered it too, it wouldn't even mount!
