DiskSalv I used very much with my 500, easy and fast.

How do you do that? I can't seem to get DiskSalv to work without KS3.x :(

The earlier versions do work - it was probably 1.42 or something like I used on my 1.3 A500.

ABTools seemed to work best back when I still used FFS for anything.

Can't remember the specific pros and cons, IIRC QBTools gave up sometimes when ABTools managed to fix the FS.

I loved QBTools, simply because I could work on files at a block level, and it would tell you what each word of data was for. Great for resolving crosslinked files where the system itself wouldn't know which file segments were correct...
