In reply to Jeff Bowyers question, all of those *toolkits* mentioned. As
they all deal with the repair and recovery of files on damaged disks, all
sites with large computing (PC) resources should have at least one copy
to save work held on media which for one reason or another has become
damaged.

PC-tools is probably the best and it is certainly the one I use with
unfortunate regularity to repair damaged media.
