[ILUG] Recovering drive data

[Matt Rudge]

I was once recommended to use a product called Tiramisu, which was written
by a German company.  It's been bought by Ontrack now and is called
EasyRecovery.  It's not cheap, but if the drive is physically okay (ie: no
rock-in-a-washing-machine noises) then it's got a really high success rate.
It's non-destructive and there's a free version you can download to see if
it will recover anything before you buy.  Look at ontrack.com for more
details.

I can remember several occasions in the bad old days using Linux to recover
data from sick windows partitions. Linux has very good fat support,
sometimes 
able to read stuff that windows can't. I'm not sure where you got the 
impression that linux "isn't much into fat". AFAIK the vfat module supports 
all the variations on fat (all the ones I've ever come across).
