disk hard error - help!

[Alfonso Romero]

I had some trouble with a hard disk that I wanted to recover, because of a
lot of important data. I found a utility named Easy Recovery Pro 6, by
Ontrack, (www.ontrack.com) I think it´s $29.99 or something like that, but
it´s worth it. I tested it on a very damaged hard disk and could read a lot
of data. It doesn´t matter what OS the HDD has.
