Overview:

JFileRecovery is a free Java webstart application that recovers files from damaged hard drives, CDs, DVDs and Flash media. Finally, a solution to the Cannot copy... Data error (cyclic redundancy check) error. Unlike other solutions, JFileRecovery is based around the fact that reading data from damaged areas requires more time. JFileRecovery works by sequentially reading blocks of data from a file and skipping blocks that take a long time to read. By adjusting the block size and and time permitted to read a block (timeout), data can be read from severely damaged media. If the file is visible within the operating system, there is a very good chance that JFileRecovery can copy the file to another location. JFileRecovery provides the ability to retry reading from damaged areas. A new block size and timeout can be specified in an attempt to obtain as much data from the damaged media as possible. You can even remove media, clean it and re-reinsert between attempts.
