How to recover lost files from corrupted hard drives

One of the things we wish would never happen to our computers is having a corrupted disk, and having a corrupted disk also results in having corrupted data. In this day and age, getting that corrupted data message from your computer is one of the worst things that can happen to you. All your files, pictures, movies, music and not to mention all other important personal and office documents can be totally wiped out in case your disk gets corrupted.
