Hello,
After a partition went wrong on my HDD I couldn't run into Windows 7 as the MBR got destroyed. I've used GParted to try and get access to my files, but i cannot get access to the files as it's also saying that there are corrupt sectors on the drive. I've ran TestDisk and I can see all of my files, but for some reason I can't copy the files to the external hard drive I have, but only to somewhere on the local (damaged) drive. I'm not bothered about saving the drive or the Windows installation, all I want is most of the files off the hard drive. How can I go about doing this? What program can I use so I can copy the files from the damaged drive to an external drive? If possible I want to be able to pick out individual files myself, rather than clone the drive
Many thanks!

why pay for a program when there are free programs that do the same thing!

I have use one of the free program but it corrupted my system and i have faced data loss situation.

For data recovery use Puppy Linux

It runs from the CD so you do not need access to the OS.
