Publisher's description
From Michael Gardiner :JFileRecovery is a free Java webstart application that recovers files from damaged hard drives, CDs, DVDs and Flash media. Finally, a solution to the Cannot copy... Data error (cyclic redundancy check) error. Unlike other solutions, JFileRecovery is based around the fact that reading data from damaged areas requires more time. JFileRecovery works by sequentially reading blocks of data from a file and skipping blocks that take a long time to read.
By adjusting the block size and and time permitted to read a block (timeout), data can be read from severely damaged media. If the file is visible within the operating system, there is a very good chance that JFileRecovery can copy the file to another location. JFileRecovery provides the ability to retry reading from damaged areas. A new block size and timeout can be specified in an attempt to obtain as much data from the damaged media as possible. You can even remove media, clean it and re-reinsert between attempts.

Version: JFileRecovery 0.92
"Perfect for recovering corrupted Outlook PST files"
Pros: Recovers corrupted files with bad CRC's (for free!)
Cons: I don't think this was intended to recover crashed hard drives, so it doesn't recover lost or deleted files and would probably be a pain to use on a large number of files, since it operates on only one file at a time.
Summary: After checking out a number of other shareware file recovery programs (which would have cost several hundred dollars to use), I found this one which did EXACTLY what I was looking for, copying as much of a corrupted file as possible.
