I recently copied a lot (200gb-ish) of data from one external hard drive to another. Then windows crashed and displayed the 'delayed write error' and I lost almost all my files. However, on 'my computers' it shows that the old external hard drive (from which I copied the files) still has 400 gb of content, which means that the files may possibly still be on there...? Even though it doesn't show when I open the hard drive. Please help me recover the files!

Try it, the Demo would show you what possibly could be recovered and therefore allow you to evaluate if it is worth the purchase.
