What I want to do is what I did about a dozen years ago with Norton Disk Doctor. And it worked then!
So,... it may even be better now, or an equivalent product that is.
Back then, a doz yrs ago, I recovered 95% of a Hard Drive that an unknown Virus ate. Tremendous!
Now, a new objective! Something as bad as a Virus, a moron reinstalled Windows XP, over my Windows XP Pro
and it looks like a new laptop. I want to recover my last 6 years of work. Which is the BEST Norton product for this job? I don't care what is on it now, I want the important stuff, mine, that may appear be gone, upon inspection. Which product? What function? What What What?
