Hello

I need a HDD recovery program for linux. Anyone know a successful program that I can buy? I can pay up to 150$ because I lost some critical backups of files.

Thanks in advance.

Btw, HDD got wet and pc doesn't recognize it usually, sometimes recognize but no files.

Software won't help you if the hardware is damaged. You've probably already crashed the heads just by powering it up. Make no further attempts to connect the damaged hard drive. You need to take it to a data recovery lab capable of handling water-damaged drives. This will cost a lot more than $150 and don't expect them to give you good news, either. Sorry.

Damaged hard drives are no fun. Recovering via software is usually a failed attempt for damaged drives and is a painful process. In order to use software recovery, the hard drive needs to at least be recognized by the PC.

Hope you are able to recover the files you need.
