We actually have Ontrack on our servers and I got a copy for my own computer but of course, I just don't use it. We did try the ontrack recovery but it did not help - and we were afraid to edit the drive with the their drive edit program. We figured there was enough damage done to it.

After this one - since this had files mainly from my customers and things from the past 6 years, I decided that after I get this data, backups were going to be a mandatory procedure.
