I need a good data recovery program for a hard drive that has been having some trouble. It somehow managed to loose the MBR and now reads as a RAW hard drive, but if I reformat it I will loose my data, so I would like to try to get whatever I can off it, if any. I’m gonna pitch it afterward because I think it’s about dead and needs to be replaces but this is just a last attempt to recover whatever I can.

I had the same type of problem with a hard disk I had. I wrote a little article about how I got my data back. I hope it works for you too.
