QUOTE: The new utilities on the CD are:

* PhotoRec is a tool that can be used to recover data that has been accidentally deleted or lost due to a corrupted file system on a disk.

* TestDisk is another data recovery tool that can be used to recover a lost partition, for example.

* Smartmontools contain utilities that can be used to inspect S.M.A.R.T. values of hard disks. By analyzing these numbers you may get a hint if your hard disk is starting to show signs of breaking down.
