What is a good data recovery program?

Q. I need a good data recovery program for a hard drive that has been having some trouble. It somehow managed to loose the MBR and now reads as a RAW hard drive, but if I reformat it I will loose my data, so I would like to try to get whatever I can off it, if any. I'm gonna pitch it afterward because I think it's about dead and needs to be replaces but this is just a last attempt to recover whatever I can.

A. I had the same type of problem with a hard disk I had. I wrote a little article about how I got my data back. I hope it works for you too.

Does anyone know a freeware that can do data/partition recovery?
Q. While shrinking my Vista partition, another partition containing data is damaged. The NTFS file system now became RAW. Is there a data/partition recovery software that can change RAW file system back to NTFS? I know Easeus has one product called Data Recovery Wizard that can have the job done. But the $70 price tag is too expensive for me. Hope there is a freeware somewhere that can also do the same job. Thanks.

A. not sure but ive seen somethhing out there.. check cnet.com/downloads and filehippo.com
and i think there is one . free

How i delete data permanantly on mobile phones?
Q. I want to sell my mobile phone so i want to delete all my contacts and photos from my mobile permanently .How i delete all that can not be recover by any data recovery software?
I want to format the memory card but how ?what software will be used for this purpose?

A. It depends on what phone you are talking about. If it has a sim card, I believe you can just remove that and you should be good, but as for smart phones like the iPhone, there is process on the device that you can restore to factory settings, where it wipes all the data and leaves nothing but the raw and cannot be recovered.
