Version: Active NTFS Reader for DOS 1.0.2
"Only program that allowed me recover 25 Mb of files from the hard drive"
Pros: Whole program fit on a 1.44 Mb bootable disk. Select and copy functions worked well. Displays long file names.
Cons: Displays long file names but doesn't preserve them for copied files. Can only transfer files to floppy disks or another hard drive; support for CD writer or USB flash memory would be helpful.

Version: Active NTFS Reader for DOS 1.0.2
"if you're desperate and nothing else works.. give it a shot."
Pros: It.. starts up. And it's free. I assume it works in some cases. It also runs (only) in DOS so it doesn't require a bootable drive, which would be incredibly convenient if it found anything.
Cons: Trying to recover a corrupted hard drive (NTFS) - Downloaded this. It's hard to run and turned out to be essentially useless in my case. Jumped through hoops to run it only to be told that it couldn't read my drive at all. I got better results from basic, unregistered File Scavenger. Try some other options first.

Pros: Was able to get all of my files back off my crashed IBM 75GXP hard drive.
I wrote a review of my experience at:
squidoo.com/Hard_Drive_Data_Recovery
Cons: It truncated long file names, and took a long time, but it was well worth it.
