Here are few data recovery software I have tried:
-Active file recovery
-Davory Data Recovery
-File Scavenger
-Finalrecovery
-Handy Recovery
-Media_tool_Pro
-O&O DiskRecovery
-Recover My Files

O&O and File Scavenger were two or the better one.....Please note that none of these or any data recovery software are designed to recover data from "faulty HD"....these software can recover the deleted data even after formatting but if HD is not spinning then these software can't recover anything.
One other suggestion.....almost 50% of faulty hard drive can be repaired by upgrading the firmware on the hard drive.....I know this is not a popular option but don't dis-count it.

Cheers

Smile Data Recovery

Thanks... Really appraciate this!!....One of my friend's laptop suddenly shut down on her and it would load windows at all. I tried recovering her 4 years worth of work, but I couldn't get to it using a number of techniques, so she took it to a store and they recovered her data. It cost her £50.00. So I thought, if I could've done, it would saved her that amount of money.

Thanks again anyway.
