Spinrite users?

[slawnick]

My system froze, and when I would try to reboot I would get the blue screen. I took the hard drive out, and put it into another machine as the slave,thinking I would be able to get to the other partitions; unfortunately that machine would not boot with the bad drive attached. Now I'm looking for some sort of data recovery software i could use; Spinrite claims to work miracles (their words). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it, and how well it worked. Thanks
