AHHH!! Okay...so my hard drive is corrupt...this part I know...and I did read somewhere about a program that I can download to do my own data recovery...problem is...the hard drive keeps shutting my system down. We have determined that this is NOT a virus issue...definitely either a corrupt hard drive or some issue with incompatibility (although...it worked fine for a while...so I want to lean toward the corrupt). ANYWHO...if anybody has ANY suggestions on how to retrieve my information/files off said drive...I would GREATLY appreciate it! I have family photos...important web page development docs and word docs that I NEED to get to...and I can't. I have completely unplugged the drive from the system so it doesn't completely kill my ability to use my computer...but I somehow need to get the information out of it! HELP!!
 
Thanks, in advance, for any advice!!

I have used ERD Commander from Winternals.com successfully to retreive data from a machine whose hard disk was badly scrambled. It is a little pricey, but it worked. It even allowed us to get the damaged machine onto the network and copy the files from one machine to another.

I suggest you use DataRecoveryWizard to resolve your problem.
The software provides very useful functions for data recovery:
DeleteRecovery, FormatRecovery, AdvancedRecovery, RawRecovery.
 
This program is an efficient disk recovery software providing
you a complete answer to data loss.
 
First thing I recommend you download the demo version of
DataRecoveryWizard. ( http://www.[censored].com/download.htm)
 
Run the program and select the recovery mode "DeletedRecovery",
or "FormatRecovery", or "AdvancedRecovery".
