TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again whenfaulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

PhotoRec is an excellent data recovery tool that I have used many times myself. It is especially useful for recovering pictures and videos when your digital camera’s memory card goes haywire (like when someone pulls it out of your laptop while in use).
