Hi, Is there a program that can help to recover or reconstruct the contents of a harddisk that has gone bad. The drive with problems has Windows 98 installed on it, formatted as NTFS. I installed it into a Windows XP machine and retrieved some of the data. There seems to be a large amount of data missing. There is a file that has long random character name. I have installed it currently into a Linux SuSE 10.1 machine and am using the command 'cp -r -p /windows/C .' to copy the entire drive over to a new drive. I will also later try some 'tar' command. Are there any special tools that can reconstruct the data from the harddrive if some of the structural data is lost but the actual file data is still there?
