Hello:
I recently formatted the computer for our family business which is running Windows 98SE. I used fdisk to delete the partitions and then the dos format utility to format the drive in preparation for the new installation. After all was said and done, it came to our attention that our back-up disks are all damaged and cannot be read. The only other backup that we have was the data stored on the HD pre-format. What programs, utilities or general suggestions can I try for recovering this data? As well the error on the cd's when trying to recover the data is that the media cannot be read and sometimes, depending on the program, "cyclic redundancey error". I have tried to recover it using the X-Repair tool included with DVD X-Copy, but this had proved unfruitful so far, any ideas on what to do wtih these disks aside from discard? Any help is most greatly appreciated, as the life of the business relies on getting this data back.
