I have been trying to recover a few files from my formatted 6-year old HD. I tried Recuva, using deep-scan and searching for undeleted files. It fails claiming a data error(cyclic redundancy check). I figured I might as well give a couple programs, and found a pay supported program that would find and claimed to be able to do the trick unfortunately it costs more than my files are worth. So is this error fixable, any suggestions?
