I've  got an external Maxtor 80 gb hard drive that's just gone belly up :( Windows Explorer can still see the file strucure, but I can't do anything else with the files..copy, move, open, whatever:  :( Does anyone know of a freebie file /disc recovery programme thats available ? I can't  afford to send the disc off to a professional service for file recovery. And yes, I know the files should have been backed up..only problem is that this drive WAS the backup :(
Any help anyone can give me will be gratefully accepted.
