Hi. I came across your utility from a site beginning with the same 2 characters as your business name (I don 't want to state the full name, so as not to contravene any site rules) after searching for ages for a tool that doesn't cost the earth to purchase, as I had a major system failure which has corrupted the structure on 2 of my hard disks.
Using the trial version of a couple of these other pieces of software, 1 in particular, I know the data is all still there it's just the disks have been made inaccessible.
The first app I've tried of yours is test-disk-7.3-WIP (which I know means Work In Progress) but it appears to have hung.

But how do I know that? All the counters are static, and I can't click stop. I don't really want to close the window otherwise I'll lose where I got to and have to start over.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
PS: I've tried to include an images, but in the preview it just shows the text.
How can you tell if TestDisk is "frozen"?
