Recovery Lost or Damaged Data From Removable Media

[NJITGS]

Greetings All!

Can anyone help? I backed up my entire photo collection on DVD and restored
my computer and when I went to restore the backed up photos from the disk I
accidently started an erase of the disk with Record Now. When I attempt to
browse the disk it does not display any inofrmation or contents of the disk.
Among the measures I have taken were, I downloaded a number of data recovery
freeware tools that allowed me to scan the DVD and to my surprise all the
files were still there, however all the programs I downloaded from
download.com asked me for a registration key to unlock the scanned files.

So if anyone has a program for rescueing deleted or damged disks or knows of
a link to a freeware for doing so, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Yes, the is the last one that I tried before coming to this forum and I
worked 100%, -it even listed the folders and the names of the files as
though they were still intact on the disk, the only thing is when I
attlempted to unlock them it asks for a registration key, even making a
donation to the dowload does not give a registration key and I cannot afford
to pay for any more software. So if you have any other suggestions, please
don't hesitate to send them on over! And again thanks for taking the time
to reply to my post!
