my hard drive died on me for some reason (i couldn't even boot up with it connected) so i had to get new drives and place the broekn one in an external enclosure. now that i have the enclosure and everything plugged in, the drive isn't detected in my computer, even though i hear the little usb detection 'ding'. i finally found it in my disk amangement, but it wont let me see what's inside, only gives me options to delete the partition or view the properties. i know the files inside are there, cause i ran a free trial of a software called Easy Recovery pro, but it wouldn't let me take the files out w/o buying it ($500 for the licence, no thanks) and when i try a cracked version offa BT it shuts itself off after pressing any recovery tool. so pretty much i'm either looking for a really good recovery program, free or otherwise, just as long as the damn thing works. thanks in advance
