Default Best app for partition recovery?

Any suggestions for a decent app to recover lost partitions?


SUGGESTION:

Don't try to do two things at the same time and with one single tool.

First, restore the partition table.

Then you restore the data inside the partition.

Whatever you do, **DO NOT** directly modify the content of the hard disk
in question. Files restored should be copied to another hard disk. Tools
like Recuva does this.

A simpler way is to clone the hard disk first, then use recovery tools
on this copy of the hard disk.
