This app has saved my bacon twice now
R-Studio
Of course it does require that the machine is connected to a LAN but I'm not sure if the OS has to be at the desktop or not to see the drive, I'm thinking it does so the only other solution is to pull the drive and connect it in another machine while trying to recover the data

well, the CEO was smart and just went and bought a new one - problem is he bought a toshiba Satellite - not the PRo's.
we have ahd 3 Satellites and ALL have ahd problems, we have a PRO and it has been through heck and back and works great!
Toshiba wont replace anything as long as it works - how can i fry a harddrive?
