The BackTrack live CD distribution is packed with recovery tools, including the powerful Autopsy toolset.

The BackTrack live CD distribution is packed with recovery tools, including the powerful Autopsy toolset.  STD uses the minimal Fluxbox window manager.  Helix offers a markedly different interface than BackTrack or STD.  You can use TestDisk to spelunk a damaged disk and find now-missing partitions.  PhotoRec in action, recovering various common file types from a mistakenly erased flash drive.  These files recovered with PhotoRec have new names, but the metadata tells you they are audio files.  TestDisk and PhotoRec can be run from within Vista's command-line recovery console.  Output from The Sleuth Kit's fsstat tool details information about a file system image dumped from a damaged drive.
