Free Trial Software
Free trial software seem like a good deal just like the free samples at Costco. With the sheer number of titles out there is can be easy to get confused. Keeping track of which software you have tried can be a useful habit if you are a habitual downloader.
Everyone claims to be a computer expert however the truth is there only a few recognized professionals in the field. Being able to download and run some software does not make you an expert, which probably what your local computer store did, and tried to charge you $299! You think consumers would wise up but sadly that is not the case.
Properly identifying and diagnosing computer problems is indeed a skill and not everyone has the aptitude to do so. Determining whether you pc has bad ram, or a bad motherboard requires a lot of all around computer experience that no book will teach you. Before anything is attempted you data should be backed up to ensure your important files are safe.
If you can't find a professional at least know how to spot them.

When and where data recovery might apply
Notice missing files? Stop, drop and roll. Plus any activity that make things worse. Don't overwrite your data by mistake. That will prevent data recovery in the future. If you don't know what you're doing you could simply make things worse. The thousand of data recovery software titles seem so tempting but beware. You could make your data unrecoverable by picking the wrong one.
There are some thing that even professionals can't fix and it often happens when amateurs try things on their own. Unfortunately data loss happens all the time. Whether it's a USB pen, external hard drive, laptop drive, DVD/CD. Keeping an up to date backup is the best way to go.

CHKDSK: making things worse
If there ever was a command never to run (other than FORMAT C:) it would be CHKDSK. Used to check for file system errors, under normal conditions i.e. when there are no problems, this command is harmless. Under abnormal situations the chkdsk command can wreak havoc.
The problem lies in it's results. Once a surface scan is completed and bad sectors are found the resulting file is saved. Now this doesn't seem like a bad thing until put into practice. Ok, so let's say you've save some precious photos and suddenly your hard drive decides to develop bad sectors exactly on that location where you stored the photos. You run chkdsk and it manages to find some files and saves them with a .chkdsk extension. So what's the problem? You can't open the file. Hrm. Nor can any utility open this file format. Doh! Just run some data recovery software right? Wrong! You've saved that chkdsk file in the exact same location as the original file, hence preventing any future data recovery.
What you've done is saved a garbage file on top of your photos. Now there is no trace of your photos because you thought you were being a smarty pants by running chkdsk. Way to go hero!
The CHKDSK command can never help in a recovery situation so don't ever use it. These errors cannot be fixed using some crappy built in windows utility program. When you run into serious problems get all of the information before you decide to ruin your data.
