Free Undeleter
Last December I recommended DTI Data's Fast File Undelete for recovering accidentally deleted files ("Recover Lost Files That Aren't in the Recycle Bin"). Reader Filip Semey of Gent, Belgium, pointed me to a program with a significant advantage over Fast File Undelete--it's free. You can run Brian Kato's Restoration from a floppy disk, so you don't have to install it on your hard drive. The program can restore a lost file to a removable medium or to another drive, thus letting you avoid writing the file to a potentially bad hard disk. Go to the link to download Restoration.
