[OT] Current recommended disk recovery software (XP) ?

       We had a powercut last night and now one of my (XP MCE) PC's
won't boot.  It appears to be a hard disk error , corrupt system /
directory.  The IDE drive is visible but the directory wont list.
Fortunately this wasn't a major data loss but there's one particular
file I would like to recover if possible.  Anyone got any
recommendations as to the current best file/disk recovery software ?  I
think things will have moved on from my W98 based Norton Utilities/Disk
Doctor  ;-)

If I can recover the disk to bootable even briefly thatw ould be
even better - as I'll be easily able to move my installed Idratek Cortex
app to another PC  ( is locked/licensed to one PC).  For the single file
recovery - are there any good but free utils anyone is aware of ?  I
know these two aspects are pretty much mutually exclusive.

Cheers  Kevin
