It will also recover files from SD cards, USB drives, etc. I was able to use it to recover some of the work files that had been made on SD cards the week before the drive failed.

The dumb@#$ part of my story is the laptop overheated when it failed to sleep with the screen closed. I could have/should have made a last minute backup and had a full backup, but like a dumb@#$, just didn't do it and a few days later it gave it up. [/QUOTE]
