I'm wondering where the open source file recovery software is. It seems like these all follow the model of "we'll show you what files we can recover for free, but we'll charge you to actually get them." R-Studio at least lets you recover files up to 64KB, which should get back most people's Word documents but none of their photos.

Let us know how the recovery goes, though. I'm pulling for GetDataBack here. It's helped me out several times already and seems to really come through...
