OT - Image File Recovery Program Recommendations

This is not a Photoshop question, but one I am sure that many folk here will
have suggestions for. I have to recover several GBs of image files, mostly
JPGs, but also TIFFs, PSDs and some motion files. Just before a BU to DVD, the
system crashed.
I have used Stellar-Phoenix, both FAT & NTFS and File Recovery. Unfortunately,
just as that program is about to complete the scan (I can see the directory
structure on the screen), the program dies. So close, but so far away!
I'm not necessarily looking for freeware programs, as I spent ~US$400 for the
Stellar-Phoenix programs for all of my machines. What I want is a good
recovery program, or two.
This particular structure is now on a smaller system with RAID0 120x2 HDDs.
Unfortunately, the files were all Moved to my workstation, to do the BU, so I
need to do a Recovery from this Disk Array. What programs (URLs really
appreciated) would YOU use?
Thanks for the input and thoughts,
Hunt

Thanks for the concern, but no, the Array did not go south. I had the images
on the Array, and Moved them to my main workstation to do a DL-DVD BU. It was
THERE that the system (brand, spanking new too!) crashed. Since the files were
Moved (note to self: always Copy, make BU, then Delete), they're still on the
Array, but not accessible, except through recovery utilities. The Array is
controled via the MoBo through on-board Promise ROM, so sending in the drives,
would require also sending in the MoBo with controller, or finding a
controller with the same ROM chip/software.
That's why I was looking for a file recovery utility to try and salvage the
Moved files. Stellar-Phoenix FAT & NTSF comes very close, but then has a
problem with the RAID0. One problem is that the system is WinME/FAT 32, not
NTSF. I'll just d-l several other utilities, and see if any of them can get me
to where I need to get, before I buy them. I'm so close, as I can see the tree
structure with all of the files, just before S-P hangs and their tech dept.
hasn't been able to come up with a fix, other than re-format the drives for
NTSF, change OS to XP and forget it... should be something out there that will
work.
Thanks,
Hunt

Oh, wow, Hunt, if that was the rig that crashed you may be SOL. If I'm
reading correctly, the images were on a striped (RAID 0) RAID array and the
array crumbled. If so, I can sympathize, having had the same thing happen to
me, but I know of nothing that will recover in such a situation. I don't
know every recovery application, for sure, but in my own searching when it
happened to me I found nothing. Good luck.
