iCare Data Recovery is one of a packed, competitive marketplace full of just such utilities. The term "data recovery" in this case includes restoring lost or corrupt drive partitions, undeleting files which were accidentally trashed, restoring sufficient integrity to a portable drive or a memory card to recover lost files, and repairing a Master Boot Record (MBR) so that a hard drive can be read sufficiently well to boot the thing and back up important files and data. The important thing to know is that you must have previously prepared for the problem by having previously installed on each of your Windows computers and laptops some sort of data recovery software.
The fact is, you can actually help yourself in most of these situations. You'll be left scratching your head, trying to figure out what to do, who to call or where to turn for help. At some point, or perhaps several points, during the course of using computers at work, at home or on the road, a hard drive will fail, a memory card (CF, SD, SDHC, CD or whatever you're using) will become corrupt, a USB stick/flash drive/thumb drive or pen drive will conk out, or a partition on a server or RAID will suddenly disappear.
