Recovering deleted files
My father's computer recently just crashed and the files that he recovered from his laptop's hard disk are mostly corrupted. He's hoping to recover some files from his external hard disk, files that he has already deleted that is...

Do any one of you know of any reputable software for this task?

Re: Recovering deleted files
There are no sure-fire 100% success stories here, but I have had good luck with these:

Avira Unerase Personal – Official support discontinued, but still available from site
Recuva, from the makers of CCleaner.
Restoration

Re: Recovering deleted files
Hey Dig! Thanks for the links! I'll keep you guys posted on the status

Edit: Do you know if there are any way to fix corrupted files? Especially Microsoft Word documents.

Re: Recovering deleted files
It depends on how and how badly they are corrupted. You may be able to open with Notepad first, clear out any formatting then save as .txt file and try to pull it back into Word.

I found How can I recover a corrupt document or template - and why did it become corrupt? and Ms Word recovery for any corrupt Word document.
