Nothing flashy, it just works:
EaseUS Data Recovery Software to Recover Lost Files Back
Never pay list price. Sign up for the email and get the (every) weekend discounts.
Contro:
If the disk is not working well though, what you want is to be able to copy the contents as quickly as possible.
I'm not sure that these recovery programmes are a good idea if the disk is in poor condition:
would creating a sector by sector image of the whole drive be a good idea first ?
Then you can mess around all you like with different recovery programmes, if the HD dies, you have a copy.
Disclaimer: I have not made a sector by sector image of a drive. I think it should have everything on it though (see if other people confirm that).

Recuva Pro does
I think the disk is in good health. Is under guarantee too. I don't know what happen.
I have lost two hard disk by little moves during work and now I fear everything.
It's time to think about a NAS....

If you make a sector level copy you don't need the original HDD to recover from, just mount the image (or plug in the HDD you made the clone to) and perform the recovery on that - no need to stress the original HDD any further.
Try Recuva first, if it can't see them then try PhotoRec which is probably the best freeware data recovery tool out there atm - PhotoRec is not restricted to just images.

May be a good idea.
Just because Recuva is not free. And the free version only repair some gigabytes. 2 GB I think.
The disk is 2 TB

The difference between Recuva Free and Pro is you don't get support with the free version and I think the Pro version offers to create a VHD before doing anything, something you can do for free with other tools.
