Hello all. I wanted to make a contribution to the forum, so here it goes.
Here is a list of software I have recently tried and liked with great success:
GetDataBack |Fat & NTFS| (Works well for everything except pictures)
Media Tools (Works great, although only recovered about 75% of missing data)
Recover My Photos (Awesome tool! Recovered over 95% of deleted photos)
PC Inspector (Very good program, but crashes quite a bit. Recovered almost all data with this program)
I will keep everyone updated with more test results. I have tried many other DR programs, but these I have used most recently.
Keep in mind for my scenario, I have a test machine in the shop that I use to evalute Data Recovery and File Repair software. The biggest problem I find is, after I have recovered Word or Excel documents, 90% of the time they are too corrupted that even XLS or DOC Repair cannot fix them. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should be using for file repair of this sort?
Thanks.

DR is not only using software, you have to understand the file system. Otherwise you recovered data doesn't work sometime.
