Drive Genius recovered my data when other products just took my money and then told me they couldn't help. I wish I had found the Drive Genius demo before paying for another highly rated product.
I was upgrading to Lion when my disk became corrupted. After running disk repair twice with no recovery. I tried another highly rated product that failed. Then I found the Drive Genius demo that showed all my files were still available for recovery.
I purchased Drive Genius and was able to copy all my data to another drive then reformat the original disk. Now I use DrivePulse to watch my disk for problems.
I purchased DiskWarrior when my hard drive crashed while upgrading to Lion. I was nervous about paying so much with no refund available, but the reviews were good so I took a chance. Within minutes the software reported that the drive could not be salvaged. I contacted support and they connected remotely and ran some special modes of DW to try and recover the disk but after 3 days told me DW wouldn't work. I searched again and found a demo for DriveGenius and in a few minutes could see my data. I paid for a license and was able to recover everything.
I do not recommend the $100 trial that Disk Warrior offers. The software isn't as good as it sounds. They are true to their No Refund Policy.
