 Use Time machine. April 23, 2008
Another computer ravaging piece of crapware from prosoft. Like Drive idiot 1 & 2 this product does not work and is totally unessessary. Time Machine with Leopard is awesome and it works. Don't trust prosoft they don't support their products and charge for updates on 2 months after purchase that do nothing for software that does less than nothing.
 Great! You can try before you buy March 1, 2008
One of the great things about Data Rescue II is that you can try it before you buy it -- if it won't work for your problem, you don't have to plunk down the money.
Go to Apple's website and type in Data Rescue II, then click the download button to download the Demo copy (on a computer other than the one you're trying to recover data from, so you don't damage your chances of successful recovery).
Burn a disk on the other computer and boot from it on the damaged one to non-invasively scan your drive and tell you what files it finds. The demo will only let you recover one file of size 5 Mb or less.
If it finds the files you're looking for, you can either go to the company website and pay full price for a serial number instantly, or you can pay Amazon's price to wait for Amazon to ship you one.
I'm very grateful this software exists and highly recommend it. My only issue with it has been that for recovering large video files (several GB each) from file system damage, it breaks each video file up into hundreds of individual 3.4 MB files. None of them have reasonable names, so it's a bit time consuming for me to find what I'm looking for and resurrect the video data.

Great Mac specific product February 9, 2008
Finally, great software produced for a Mac computer that is relatively cheap. I purchased the licensed CD ($70 with no tax) from an online store called Other World Computing that sells a lot of Mac product for cheap. I am running an iBook G4, 1.25 GB RAM, 1.33GHz Power PC, with Mac OS X 10.4.11. I was 4% into an erase and reformat of an external Iomega 120 GB hard drive when I realized that I forgot to backup my data onto another hard drive. I cancelled immediately and disconnected the drive after ejecting it. Then after re-connecting the drive, the display said that there was no data showing on the drive. I went online and did some extensive research of data-recovery. This product received good reviews from various sources and was moderately priced compared to other forms of data recovery. Other sources of data recovery costs 2-3x as much.
The product recovered all of my data after two hours of extraction from the 120 GB hard drive. This product only gets four stars out of five, because all of your file names are lost and replaced with random odd numbers and letters. You will have to go through each file and manually re-name them so they will be recognizable. This is a minor inconvenience compared to losing all of your data forever.

The product did not recover the data on my drive. It spent over 24 hours scanning the drive and then the data it recovered was unusable. I would not buy this product again.

As I see it, a hard drive can fail electronically, mechanically, or through data corruption. Data Resue II handles the last scenario perfectly without breaking a sweat.
A little background - I was using TechTool Pro for routine maintenance. It found Volume Structure problems, but upon attempting a repair the drive's directory structure got corrupted. [Don't take this as a swipe at TTP. I've used it for years on my and my client's Macs, and still highly recommend it.] So I had a drive that TTP could list, but the drive would not mount however I tried.
I got a new drive to install the OS on, left the old drive connected and ran Data Rescue II. After a minute or so (!!!!) it showed me all my data on the old drive. I had DR II transfer the data to the new drive and discovered it was pristine - my fear was that my files would just be generic (0001.jpg, 001.mov) and I'd have to rename them all, but the data was ready to use.
I love this product!
